Jason reports on the latest developments as a result of recent North Korean missile launches.

We have seen the mainstream media often in a fervor over this story, as they say, that missile launches could reach the United States. The fact that they are usually referring to Alaska is always a side note.

This is alarming not because of their missile launch capability, of but because they have been able to do this for some time.

In 2003, the Korean Times revealed that South Korea had conducted an investigation into North Koreas capabilities, including discussions with the United States, Japan, China, Russian and the E.U. During their investigation they uncovered documents from Washington indicating a long-range missile was found in Alaska. In other words, North Korea had previously tested these types of weapons, and they had already reached Alaska. There has not been any mainstream coverage of this story.

What is the significance of this story? Well, there are several aspects, one of them being that the level of North Korean technology has not improved that much in the last 20 years. The fact that all this fear mongering is now taking place shows that the United States is possibly preparing to take military action against North Korea. This is problematic for many reasons.
