North Korea has begun testing it’s military might with the test launch of 7 missiles including a long-range Taepodong-2 rocket,which is capable of reaching targets on the U.S. West Coast.

The US is also particularly angered and outraged by North Korea’s tests,especially the testing of
the long-range Taepodong-2 potentially capable of hitting targets on the U.S. West Coast,although it appeared the test had failed on its first test flight after only 35 seconds and before it entered the second of two-stages and landed in the sea of Japan, dealing a blow to the North Korean missile program, Japanese and U.S. officials said.

North Korea has said it wants a non-aggression treaty with Washington before it makes any move. For its part, the United States is keen to see the standoff resolved but is standing firm amid concerns expressed by top officials that the nation is a “rogue state” holding the world hostage to nuclear blackmail.
