“The regime is just one technical step away from being able to credibly threaten the United States with a nuclear weapon,”
The National ENQUIRER learned from former-CIA Korea analyst
Sue Mi Terry. More ominously,
the “supreme leader” has killed off anyone who opposes his rush to war!

“Kim has
consolidated power internally, and there are no signs of serious dissent within the regime!” said Terry. In 2017, the tyrant tested a number of intercontinental ballistic missiles with the goal of reaching the East Coast of the United States!

“While our State Department is making every effort to resolve this global threat through diplomatic means ... the combined allied militaries
now possess the most precise, rehearsed and robust defensive and offensive capabilities on Earth,” said U.S. Secretary of Defense
Jim “Mad Dog” Mattis (right).

“The DPRK regime’s actions will continue to be grossly over-matched by ours and would lose any arms race or conflict it initiates,” said Mattis, shown here with his South Korean counterpart. Many believe Kim’s continued launches are intended to frighten the United States and its allies.

Yet some experts fear Kim is so twisted he may still launch an attack — even knowing the retribution would almost certainly destroy his regime! “They’re hoping that we’ll be so shocked, we’ll simply stop,” said Jeffrey Lewis of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey.

Although
Kim’s desired targets are Hawaii, San Diego and
Washington, D.C., Lewis believes he’d aim for New York City — and Trump Tower (left)! “If you’re Kim Jong-un, you know that you and your entire family will be killed, so you will try to kill Trump and his family,” Lewis said.

In the event Kim launches missiles, the
U.S. would launch a counter-strike within eight minutes from underground silos in Alaska, which are part of “the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system,” according to
Laura Grego of the Global Security Program.
