Elijah Macias- North Korea threat: US ‘monitoring’ claim missile could carry nuclear warhead

Summary: America is keeping an eye on North Korea after their recent missile test with a missile that North Korea claims to be able to hold a nuclear warhead and could reach the U.S. One day after Kim Jong Un’s dictatorship reported a successful test flight of its KN-17 missile, state-run news agency KCNA reported the “U.S. mainland and Pacific operations” were in range of North Korean weapons. A senior administration official said the White House was warily assessing the latest news out of North Korea, given the country’s propensity to push misleading and exaggerated propaganda; however, the official said if the latest claim is true, it “would be a cause for great concern.” It also should be noted that the recent missile flew longer than any other Korean missile in history.

Analysis: I wish these tensions would die down already because i'm sick and tired of it. Are we going to solve this diplomatically or are we going to launch ourselves into another war? Trump has already shown his quickness to act, so i hope he doesn't screw it up for the rest of us here. Nuclear war would be absolutely terrible and would alter the course of history forever.
This is very similar to the Cold war in that they both are nuclear arms races with no real end in sight.
