In previous months, North Korea tested numerous intercontinental ballistic missiles with enough range to bring part parts of the western United States into range, but Pentagon brass doesn’t think the missile has much in the way of accuracy.

  • “What the experts tell me is that the North Koreans have yet to demonstrate the capacity to do the guidance and control that would be required,” Army Gen. Paul Selva, the vice chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

  • (Analyst Comment: Interestingly, Gen. Selva was also asked what the United States’ next move in the region ought to be. He offered that a preemptive military strike is an option that ought to be considered. This adds to evidence the Trump administration wants other nations to perceive that this option exists, rather than dismiss it out of hand like previous administrations.)
