The US Air Force behave America ’s first successful intercontinental ballistic missile ( ICBM ) test of the yr , firing an unarmed Minuteman III from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California yesterday morning . The projectile put down in the Pacific Ocean at an unrevealed location .
The test derive in the wake of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un proclaiming that his area is suspend both ICBM and nuclear tests for the foreseeable future tense . Kim is go quick to meet with President Trump in the comingweeks or month . An exact date and location for the historic get together have yet to be determine , though neutral countries like Sweden and Switzerland are gamy on the inclination of probabilities .
As the Air Force Timesnotes , this was the first American ICBM test sinceAugust of 2017 . Another test was in the beginning planned for February of this year but was postponed . After the last psychometric test in 2017 , Air Force officials announce that the intercontinental ballistic missile had traveled roughly 4,200 stat mi to land near the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands . No announcement was made about where this unarmed missile landed .
you could watch video of the teston YouTube :
While North Korean projectile tests on a regular basis make front page headline in the US , American missile mental testing do n’t have much coverage at all . But you could wager that it gets attention in North Korea .
Kim ’s meeting with Trump is n’t the only high - profile meeting that ’s coming up . On Friday , Kim will walk across the air that divides North and South Korea to fulfill with South Korean president Moon Jae - in . And it should be an interesting preview of what ’s to come when Kim and Trump ultimately meet brass to face .
The White House has sent sundry messages in late weeks , as President Trump often mischaracterizes Kim ’s pledge to stop the country ’s tests as a pledgeto denuclearize . But the North Korean authorities has n’t made any such hope .
Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Fake News NBC just stated that we have give up so much in our negotiation with North Korea , and they have given up nothing . Wow , we have n’t given up anything & they have agreed to denuclearization ( so great for World ) , site block , & no more testing !

Diplomacy is good , but here ’s hop that Trump ’s consultant , like the uber - hawkish John Bolton , are n’t put the president up to fail . If Trump walks away from his meeting with Kim without a plan for all over denuclearization we can only hope that it ’s not positioned by the Trump regime as a total red ink . Otherwise the stalemate between North Korea and the US could turn into a very real war . John Bolton , who has openly call for a first smasher against North Korea , is waiting in the wings for his luck to swoop if anything should go incorrect . In the meantime , it look the US will keep to conduct missile psychometric test as common .
