The United States is planning to build a new missile defence shield in Asia to contain threats from North Korea and counter China's growing missile capabilities.

A defensive array could include a new radar system in southern Japan and possibly another in South East Asia, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The news came after an unnamed US official told Jane's Defence Weekly that China's People's Liberation Army tested an intercontinental ballistic missile on July 24 which has the range to strike any city in the United States.

The DF-41 missile can carry ten separate nuclear warheads, each of which can be programmed to strike at a different target, the magazine reported.

2. or provide proper care for those returning home.

Or to give up some of their funding to fortify SS/Medicare/Medicaid.

4. Exactly. Our men and women who defend our country deserve better.

When will the corporations who benefit most from our military ever understand this? Do they even care?
