Business Insider: How long it might take North Korean missiles and nuclear warheads to reach major US cities

* President Donald Trump is meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore to discuss nuclear weapons.
* The stakes are high: US weapons experts believe North Korean missiles can strike anywhere in the US.
* A North Korean nuclear missile would take about 40 minutes to reach New York City once launched.
* However, very little is publicly known about the capabilities of North Korea's missile technologies.

As President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un meet in Singapore, it's worth remembering a key impetus for the summit: North Korea can likely strike anywhere in the US with its nuclear weapons.

In July and November, North Korea test-launched intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs, that can reportedly deliver nuclear warheads to targets thousands of miles away. US intelligence officials also believe North Korea can miniaturize its warheads to fit atop those ICBMs, according to news reports — and not just any nuclear weapons.

While the exact capabilities of North Korea's latest hardware remain in question, few experts deny North Korea is now a credible nuclear-armed power, and a thermonuclear one.

According to Dear Leader there is no more nuclear threat. See how easy that is.

I suggest we put $20 billion in a rocket and fire the rocket into the sun. It'd be a better use of money than building a wall.

I apologize Aiz, I forgot that Dear Leader is never responsible for anything. Though R's control congress, all they have been able to accomplish is a regressive tax cut that blows a giant hole in the deficit where "fiscally responsible republicans" used to exist.

In the mid 20's the bill will come due, a future administration will have to raise taxes and trim spending and we'll get to hear R's again talking about "the children" and all the debt they will be saddled with. Until they get in power and blow another hole in the deficit with another tax cut for rich dudes.

See, easy.

Remember when Obama doubled debt and helped Iran finance their terror operations? Didn't happen of course. Not in your reality.
Remember when Obama weaponised the FBI? Didn't happen of course. Remember how Obama had more gag orders than any prior president used on the press but still got a free ride? Didn't happen of course. Remember when Obama got a nobel peace price but then had more drone strikes than even gag orders? Didn't happen of course. Go back to watching cnn

Late last month, The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman sparked a debate when she referred to two of the president’s growing collection of publicly uttered untruths (3,000+ of them, per one recent count) as “demonstrable falsehoods” rather than outright lies. The paper’s logic, as her Times colleague Michael Shear later explained, was that a mere observer of Donald Trump—even an extremely knowledgeable observer like Haberman, who has covered Trump as a reporter for two decades—cannot claim to understand the intention behind the falsehood. Perhaps he willfully misled; perhaps he was merely confused. You can’t know for sure; therefore you can’t say for sure.
