North Korea shows every sign of becoming the trigger for World War 3
American Thinker ^ | 1 Feb, 2024 | Thomas Lifson

The prospect of Joe Biden being defeated by Donald Trump is a signal to every hostile foreign power that the next 50 weeks may be their last opportunity to take military action exploiting POTUS's and his national security team's weakness, Indecisiveness, and incompetence. Our degraded military preparedness, the presence of possibly tens of thousands of saboteurs and guerillas who came over our nonexistent borders, and the failure of Team Biden to adequately punish the Houthis for 160+ attacks on our troops all beckon aggression.

China has made no secret of its plan to take over Taiwan, and Iran wants to destroy Israel with the nukes it is preparing. Even lesser lights, such as Venezuela, threaten a neighbor’s oilfields, and, now North Korea is radically escalating its threat to invade South Korea.

Helen Raleigh writes in The Federalist:

The disturbing signs that North Korea’s dictator, Kim Jong Un, may be preparing for war are too many to ignore.

It all began in November. Kim Jong Un claimed that his country successfully launched a spy satellite into space on Nov. 21 and any interference with its satellite would constitute a declaration of war. South Korea responded by launching its own spy satellite and partially suspending an agreement about military cooperation with North Korea. Kim retaliated by announcing he would withdraw from all measures “taken to prevent military conflict in all spheres, including ground, sea, and air.”

Since then, the hostile rhetoric and proactive actions by North Korea against South Korea have intensified. Kim told his subordinates at the end-of-year policy meeting that he needed to “make a decisive policy change” because “the two Koreas were belligerent states at war, not counterparts for reconciliation and unification.” He also warned that “it is fait accompli that a war can break out anytime...

I do think he’s crazy enough to launch h-bombs at us. I don’t know if either Biden or Trump will stop him. And if he does, do we have any idea what to do next?

It will never happen because Trump is the only one that would get us into WWIII

“I do think he’s crazy enough to launch h-bombs at us.”

There is not even a rumor that North Korea is trying to develop a fusion weapon.

WWIII is coming soon, but not yet.

WWIII is when everyone in the world is killed (save a small Jewish remnant).

North Korea?

I’d bet Hamas/Iran or CCP. Even the USA as Biden blunders us dangerously close to instigating WWIII.

He’s Beijing’s lap dog even if he is rabid. They like him that way.

Kim’s gotta Kim.
Send him a few tons of wheat and corn, he’ll settle down for a while.

If North Korea does anything, China will step in to defend it.

Part of the Putin-(Kim Jong) Il alliance/weapons transfer no doubt included the latter creating a distraction on the other end of Asia.

I just don't see North Korea as a major threat.
They can barely take care of themselves.

I think this looks at it all wrong. The Russians, Iranians, Chinese and NORKS are all terrified that the warmongering maniac in the White House will attack THEM before Trump can have the opportunity to save the world.

Not to worry. If Korea nukes us, Pedo Joe and his woke military leadership will fart in Kim’s general direction.

Our enemies were afraid of Trump because of his military buildup of conventional and nuclear forces, and Putin was well aware that most of that was being built up against him.

Our enemies saw Trump as a threat who wasn’t afraid to fight them, he was not seen as a nice guy who agreed with them.

North Korea needs a war, it’s people are eating grass or whatever they can find and if the citizens complain they disappear.

“what to do next?”

A five-megaton blast will take out an area equivalent to what is inside the Capital Beltway.

Metro LA is an area about 40 times larger.

I agree—the Big war is coming—but North Korea will not start it—we will. (False Flag CIA/FBI plot?) Why?
1. Keep Deep State in Power.
2. Elect Joe Biden.
3. Keep Trump from the White House and Justice.
4. Keep the American Empire cash flowing.
5. Unify the American People.
6. Stop MAGA cold.

They hope for a short war, US Victory with a UN peace. The gravy train will keep rolling—with more money to rebuild. They do not think we just might lose. It will not be like Iraq, or Ukraine, or Kosovo—it will be mean and ugly with many deaths all over the world including the USA.
