U.S. Air Force Says Latest Missile Test ‘Not Related to Any Real World Events’

But Americans seem unlikely to give this latest test much thought anyway. There’s plenty of other stuff to worry about on the homefront, including outright assaults on freedom of the press, and a worsening constitutional crisis after Attorney General Jeff Sessions was fired yesterday.

And all of that is to say nothing of the continuing gun violence that plagues the country. A gunman killed at least 12 people and himself at a bar and restaurant in Thousand Oaks, California overnight. The last thing we need right now on top of all this is a new war.
