That looks like a very clear signal to me.

Be prepared.

They will probably try to detonate an EMP device to put the States in darkness for a few weeks or months.

The military has tempest-hardened electronics, so it’s a suicide move by the Norks, but they must be thinking they’ll get something out of it.

norks do not have that technology and they have no way to get it over any area within the USA to detonate it. norks can hit Seoul with artillery and invade parts of the South... and they may be able to send a nuke by freighter or some lumbering aircraft but I even doubt that. They can start a world war however.

Reminds me of the old joke:

"Stand back! We don't know how big this things gonna' get."

Or

"Hold me back, fella's. Hold me back...fella's...fella's"

This is what two cowardly bullshit artists fighting looks like...Yawn.

The Norks have at least one satellite in orbit.

The only technology they may not have is miniturization of the device.

However, I read recently that a relatively small and unsophisticated device, even smaller than the Hiroshima bomb, detonated at high altitude over the midsection of the U.S. could darken much of the continental U.S.

Perhaps you know more about this and can fill us in.

That’s the first thing I have heard that would make me worry.

You’re both assuming they didn’t buy or steal a nuke from Russia a few years back.

” send a nuke by freighter “,
In conjunction with Iran or some other rogue state that is what I fear.
Since this fat little punk has been able to put a missile on a truck, why can’t he stick one on a ship?
Either that or simply put one on a ship and send it to the mouth of the Chesapeake and set it off?
Just saying.

What do you think of all this?
Do you think it may be some strong-arm/bribery tactic to force the U.S. to drop sanctions and get more aid, while making himself look powerful?
Or do you think the power & position has gone to his head & he might actually try something stupid?
I think if his aunt & others near the top thought he was actually going to start a war & get them all killed, they’d assassinate him.

the US SecDef does not share your estimate and that is why missile defense system has been deployed off California and Alaska

http://freebeacon.com/shield-up/

NK’s successful Dec launch of a “satellite” into orbit made at least some doves reevaluate their condescension obama is now in command of deploying systems he and Hagel tried to kill or slow leak for the past decade

My guess: This is Tactic #5 in the “I'm So Ronery” handbook for projecting strength when your million man army is malnourished and your “reader's” biggest military decision was whether you should buy another case or two of Chivas or the rocket fuel.

Of course we have Sparky the “Wunder Prez”, and as Long Shanks stated in the movie Braveheart, “... the mere sight of him would encourage an invasion.”

Dear friends in Pyongyang: If you didn’t pack lead underwear, we suggest you go on a brief visit to your homeland.

Message to North Korea: You are all cowards. You threaten, you show missiles, you do NOTHING. You are LOSING FACE. You couldn't hurt a small fly. We are laughing so hard at you, we're crying.

You are going to LOSE FACE no matter how this turns out. You have pushed it so far that the world is LAUGHING at you.
