This article completely misses the point. They're focusing on Russia when they should be focusing on the missile itself.

It travelled 30 minutes, we don't know how far down range, but it rocketed to an unsually high altitude of over 1,200 miles.

This is very worrying, especially if it is an SLBM.

This would mean that North Korea is preparing for an actual preemptive attack against the mainland United States. If they got one of their subs within a couple hundred miles of the US West Coast, then they could launch an SLBM that could potentially out-run our missile defence technology, allowing them to successfully lob an EMP-centric nuclear weapon over our mainland, and detonate it.

If they did that, they could theoretically cripple us so heavily, that we would not be able to mount a reciprocal counter-attack.

The time is quickly approaching where we will be forced to attack them first, on our terms, before they kill tens of millions of innocent Americans.

Putin isn't worried about NK.
