Vice President Pence jets into Seoul as Korea tensions ratched up; British officials are told Washington is considering a preemptive attack.

US Vice President Mike Pence will arrive in Seoul Sunday, flying into a geopolitical maelstrom amid a possible North Korean nuclear test and harsh warnings about a military response.

So all you pearl neckless clutchers had better hold on tight to them and/or assume the fetal position.


“Pearl neckless clutchers”. What a BS term. People who are concerned aren’t clutching any pearls.

There are plenty of combat vets here who are concerned and we certainly don’t clutch any pearls.

This would be a good time to use the hypervelocity rod bundles, AKA “Rods of God” - if we do have them deployed. There was speculation that the Tianjin explosion was a U.S. space-based weapons test involving a “Rod of God” weapon dropped from orbit. Dear Leader needs to be hit with a big stick.

Yup. There’s no turning back this time. The operation has to be quick, massive with overwhelming force.

Plan B could be to let North Korea blow up its own nuclear missiles, they seem to be pretty good at that.

From “Natural News” :

Conclusion: The Rod of God concept seems feasible, but we can’t know the Pentagon’s secrets to confirm it
Here, I’ve shown that the kinetic energy delivered by a “Rod of God” weapon could reasonably match the first explosion observed in TianJin. I’ve also explained why the orbital velocity and atmospheric re-entry objections are not show-stoppers.

The biggest question, in my opinion, is whether a rod can survive the extremely high forces of friction with the atmosphere as it plummets toward its target at very high velocities (Mach 12, for example). This is primarily a materials question, and there’s no way we can know for sure what sort of exotic materials the Pentagon has developed.

One thing we can know with 100% certainty, however, is that the Pentagon doesn’t publicly disclose its space weapons secrets. If it does possess a Rod of God space weapon, it sure isn’t going to announce it to anyone. Especially given how amazingly useful such a weapon would be for the stealth striking of enemy targets anywhere on the planet.

Remember: if this weapon exists, it puts a weapon on target while producing no apparent launch signature. This is, in every way, a stealth weapon that no one can stop once it’s launched. You wouldn’t even be able to see it approaching, either. Dropping through the atmosphere at Mach 12, it would strike the target like a bolt from the heavens, causing enormous destruction and leaving quite a large crater in the ground, just like we saw at Tianjin.

Not the hats, I hope. We have to save the hats.

I don’t know which is the better bunker/tunnel buster.

I presume we’re going to need a lot of them to take care of fat Kim’s nuclear program.(he told China media to stop calling him fat-lol)

No, because they only have to get one to work properly for the US to suffer a terrible consequence.

Exactly. It only takes one.

Never underestimate the enemy.

Probably not until after the start of hostilities. Evacuating civilians would be tantamount to announcing imminent attack.

President Trump needs to drain the swamp, in particular, he needs to remove every residue of Obama’s administration. The leakers who are letting this story out, true or not, are traitors.

Getting it done means sacrificing all of Soul and its millions of inhabitants as 30,000 NOKO arty tubes let lose on it - entire city gone, rubble in minutes, and later mass burials of found pieces and parts.

Not a decision to take lightly ...

Such ordinance cannot be used there - requires total air dominance and absence of manpads.

FOAB is supposed to be thermobaric, not fuel-air. However, the whole Russian test may have been staged: there was no actually shot of the bomb dropping out of the TU-160, nor or any bomb descent, just the plane with the bomb and then the ground explosion.

Thermobaric tech is something the Russians have been using for 40 years or so and have made portable in the TOSS-1A system deployed in Syria.

Plan A would be the Chinese taking out Kim, not the US as Soul would be destroyed and millions dead.

Yes. If need be, North Korean artillery near the DMZ could be accurately wiped out quickly enough to surprise the world.

North Korea would try to use a small number of unreliable, inaccurate conventional missiles and a small number of inaccurate artillery pieces with rocket-assisted rounds to reach an area with a large population. Those would be gone very quickly.
