#2 That should be stated as "allegedly" capable of hitting Guam, as many Perts on the MSM-Net say the"Musudan" + follow-on was never properly tested - IFF TRUE, THE DPRK WILL BE LUCKY IFF IT DOESN'T BLOW UP BY ITSELF ON THE LAUNCH PAD OR THAT IT LANDS SOMEWHERE IN WESTPAC BETWEEN GUAM + THE PHILIPPINES. A direct hit at this distance by any untested LR Missle Sys is so improbable as to be considered "miraculous".

CHINA's LRBMS, OTOH,, have been well-tested - iff Guam is indeed hit, I'm inclined first to believe its by a PLA 2nd Arty LRBM disguised wid DPRK markings, + fired by the Chinese commander of the DPRK's strategic rocket forces.
