Here a future solder trains to attack the evil big nose American. Notice how big the evil American's nose it. Isn't it big?

The mainstream media, and some officials who should know better, continue to allege North Korea does not yet have capability to deliver on its repeated threats to strike the U.S. with nuclear weapons. False reassurance is given to the American people that North Korea has not “demonstrated” that it can miniaturize a nuclear warhead small enough for missile delivery, or build a reentry vehicle for an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of penetrating the atmosphere to blast a U.S. city.
Yet any nation that has built nuclear weapons and long-range missiles, as North Korea has done, can easily overcome the relatively much simpler technological challenge of warhead miniaturization and reentry vehicle design.
Indeed, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un has been photographed posing with what appears to be a genuine miniaturized nuclear warhead for ballistic missiles. And North Korea does, in fact, have two classes of ICBMs—the road mobile KN-08 and KN-14—which both appear to be equipped with sophisticated reentry vehicles.
Even if it were true that North Korea does not yet have nuclear missiles, their “Dear Leader” could deliver an atomic bomb hidden on a freighter sailing under a false flag into a U.S. port, or hire their terrorist allies to fly a nuclear 9/11 suicide mission across the unprotected border with Mexico. In this scenario, populous port cities like New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, or big cities nearest the Mexican border, like San Diego, Phoenix, Austin, and Santa Fe, would be most at risk.
A Hiroshima-type A-Bomb having a yield of 10-kilotons detonated in a major city would cause about 200,000 casualties from blast, thermal, and radiation effects. North Korea has tested a nuclear weapon having an estimated yield of 20-30 kilotons. The Defense Department assesses that on January 6, 2016, North Korea may have tested components of an H-Bomb. H-Bombs are much more powerful than A-Bombs and can produce much greater casualties—millions of casualties in a big city like New York.
The notion that North Korea is testing A-Bombs and H-Bomb components, but does not yet have the sophistication to miniaturize warheads and make reentry vehicles for missile delivery is absurd.
Eight years ago, in 2008, the CIA's top East Asia analyst publicly stated North Korea successfully miniaturized nuclear warheads for delivery on its Nodong medium-range missile. The Nodong is able to strike South Korea and Japan or, if launched off a freighter, even the United States.
In 2011, the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Lt. General Ronald Burgess, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee that North Korea has weaponized its nuclear devices into warheads for arming ballistic missiles.
On April 7, 2015, at a Pentagon press conference, Admiral William Gortney, then Commander of North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD), responsible for protecting the U.S. from long-range missiles, warned that the intelligence community assesses North Korea's KN-08 mobile ICBM could strike the U.S. with a nuclear warhead.
And on October 7, 2015, Gortney again warned the Atlantic Council: "I agree with the intelligence community that we assess that they [North Koreans] have the ability, they have the weapons, and they have the ability to miniaturize those weapons, and they have the ability to put them on a rocket that can range the [U.S.] homeland."
In February and March of 2015, former senior national security officials of the Reagan and Clinton administrations warned that North Korea should be regarded as capable of delivering by satellite a small nuclear warhead, specially designed to make a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack against the United States. According to the Congressional EMP Commission, a single warhead delivered by North Korean satellite could blackout the national electric grid and other life-sustaining critical infrastructures for over a year—killing 9 of 10 Americans by starvation and societal collapse.
Two North Korean satellites, the KMS-3 and KMS-4, presently orbit over the U.S. on trajectories consistent with surprise EMP attack.
Why do the press and public officials ignore or under-report these facts? Perhaps no administration wants to acknowledge that North Korea is an existential threat on their watch.
Whatever the motives for obfuscating the North Korean nuclear threat, the need to protect the American people is immediate and urgent:
The U.S. must be prepared to preempt North Korea by any means necessary—including nuclear weapons.
Launch a crash program to harden against EMP attack the U.S. electric grid to preserve American civilization and hundreds of millions of lives. This could be part of President Trump’s infrastructure modernization project.
Beef up national missile defenses. Revive President Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), the unfairly derided “Star Wars.” Space-based missile defenses could still render nuclear missiles obsolete and offer a permanent, peaceful, solution to problems like North Korea.
I spoke just yesterday to the author, Bill Forstchen, a friend for many years, and he mentioned EMP by the NORKs. Said it would mostly affect WA, OR, and CA.
Not sure if that’s bad news or good news. I’m in AZ, and you can be prices for food, water, and ammo would go up in a hurry!
You laugh... last I heard our nuke launch codes are on a 8” floppy.
My personal thought on that is, N. Korea doesn't have a computer system advanced enough to be affected by such a virus.........LOL!
As a side note, google N. Korea's air force. The majority of their air force are poorly maintained planes from the 1950's and 60's with only a handful of jets made in the 1970's.......
Central American countries such as Honduras have more modern jets than N. Korea........
The only reason that S. Korea has put up with NK's constant sabre rattling rather than confront them with war is that once SK kicks NK's ass, they will then be responsible for feeding and caring for all the NK citizens...............
Kim is angling for some kind of communist martyrdom... A small version of Stalin crying because of German invasion... But this time by an America in a civil strife hardening on its populace...
This is the political plan.
I totally agree. Let's not forget Iran is just as much of a threat. One day one of these maniacs will go ahead and set in motion a terror attack that dwarfs 9/11 a thousand times over.
There is no compelling reason for Kim to drop an H bomb on us. That would guarantee his almost immediate incineration from both us and China.
He is crazy but not suicidal.
Why is everyone in DC hell bent on us starting a war. They really need to stop.
“”Didn’t you hear...Little Kim went to the Sun and back in one day!””
No, silly! That’s not true. He SENT a man to the sun. This super hero doesn’t have time for such trivial things.
My fear is that some left leaning intelligence stooge could be convinced that by facilitating an attack on America in a devistating way the people would turn against Trump and look to the Democrats for leadership.
Excellent points!!! Thanks.
Interesting thought.
I feel all Trump has to do is telling China to knock it off!!!
High altitude EMP attack at 2 or 3 locations across the U.S. credible analyses predict up to 90% deaths in a year or two. You are blasted back to the 1700s in an instant. No power, no water, no sewage, no fuel, no heating, no cooling, no pharmaceuticals, no transportation, no machines to farm land, no trucks,or rail to deliver food. No control systems in factories, refineries, transportation systems. No hope of rebuilding electrical transformers for a few years.
Read “One Second After” and “One Year After” for a glimpse.
There is no need to think about hundreds of nukes delivered to cities.
And we’ll see the flash from what’s left of nk
“Korea is likely still using 1980’s CRT’s for its computer monitors...........
They’re so far behind the technological curve that any threat they may make needs to be mocked..............”
We managed to make multi-megaton bombs with computers less capable than the one that runs your microwave oven, and long before it was possible to display a single character on a raster scan CRT.
Interesting / thanks for the link.
Here’s another one, on non-nuclear EMP-bombs, you might find interesting: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/report/1996/apjemp.htm
They upgraded to the 3.5 inch floppy disc?
