1/1 CAV Americal DIV I CORPS RVN 68-69.
What branch were you?
It also caused the Tokyo metro to stop for 10 minutes so it wasn’t a complete failure from a psychological perspective.
Hmmm.... Interesting.
LOL!
The military dacha class supports him
He can’t back down unless he has a death wish at home as well
The only thing North Korea is proving is that they don’t have any missiles that actually work.
That’s assuming the destruction was accidental and not accomplished by some other agency.
God bless you and keep all of us safe from the wrath of the crazy short fat guy in NK.
True, but if they can hack NK missiles like that then I can imagine what they would do to one that was tipped with a nuke, not that NK even has that capability in the first place. I think NK could be completely brought down in an instant, they are just waiting for the word.
I think Trump is doing, is he is setting that scene, he’s setting Kim up, playing Tombstone with Kim, playing Wyatt Earp with Kims Johnny Tyler - He is calling his bluff because he knows Kim is a coward and a bully and he’s bitch slapping him, calling him on his threats for once after decades of threats from the Kims and I think Kim is going to fold like a cheap suit and he is gone, just like the scene and there will be a united Korea.........

Well China and Russia will have something to say about that as they still want N.Korea as a buffer zone..... The only way they would agree to such an arrangement is if the US was out of the Koreans entirely.....and S. Korea has become very comfortable economically by having the US as an alley....do you think they'd trade this off for reunification and responsibility for N.Korea's citizens??????
I say this because full unification of Korea will take at least two full generations. .... it will be difficult at best and costly in every sense of the word. .....if they “free” N.Korea you can bet there would be a mad rush to S. Korea.......that impact would be devastating to S. Koreas entire infastruture. So how are you going to contain the people there.....not to mention the problems of the millions in the gulogs??????
But Trumps using the right vocabulary N.Koreans and Kim understand. Saying they were ‘disrespectful’ of China was perfect. Respect is high on N.Koreas measuring rods. So Trups just told them they insulted “their main source of food” and support. 80% to 90% of N.Koreas ability to survive comes from china.
That’s a very good point.
You do know the Norks put a satellite over Levi Stadium right after Superbowl 50. Do a quick internet search on that. There were numerous threads on FR. It’s still up there, approx 300 miles in altitude which is perfect for maximum effect from an EMP. You can track it live < HERE.
But is it still “alive”? The electronics might have been fried by us. Maybe the X-37 paid it a visit.
Trumps excellent when it comes to driving wedges and shaking out those who hide behind masks.......I love it...he throws things out there on his twitter and then waits for the reactions.....this way they show themselves pretty fast and then he moves them from there.....
Kim and his cohorts are watching everything Trump says and does right now.....as well as China and Russia.....Kim knows he cannot survive without China.....and China and Russia both want their Buffer zone, they could care less about Kim himself. So everyones playing ol Fat Boy while he plays with fire..
At any rate Trumps tweets are “language” specifically with purpose....he’s very careful when he tweets now....his mind and gamemanship is really quite stunning. And the left just doesn’t understand LOLOL
I’ll bet they missed the sky.
That’s a good analysis.
Do you think Kim will back off and give up his nuke program due to Chinese pressure or we knock out their nuke capability?
That is the US Army.
Please disregard my “That’s US Army”.
We’ll likely have to knock out his facilities unless china gets him to do so willingly.and I can’t see the later happening any time soon.
Kim needs an “enemy” to sustain the peoples loyalty. So I generally see his antics evidencing he’s been loosing their loyalty and needs to show he’s their great protector etc. and the outside world is about to destroy their country.
So he fires missiles...and you can bet the failures isn’t what the n..Koreans are hearing. Gets the Us irritated ....and it’s back to square one all over again. In the end Kim retains his people loyalty.
