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...

Every single person who voted for Biden, or who helped him steal the last election, will be solely to blame when the world erupts in chaos. Period, end of story.

If I were North Korea I would wait until China invaded Taiwan—and at that exact moment I would invade South Korea.

If it never happens then it never happens.

WWIII launches when

a) We along with the Holy Spirit are jettisoned outta here to meet Jesus in the sky to go to heaven and
b) instantly much of the world will invade Israel (and lose by God’s miracle).

BTW, WWIII will end seven years later at Armageddon where the whole world is gathered together against God and will be liquidated by Christ when he returns (with us).

Does anyone know, do all declared nuclear nations have the more powerful Hydrogen bombs now, over the earlier atomic ones?

The Norks could attempt to lob a few missiles that would do little to no damage.

As a result, they’d be bombed back into the 16th century.

This sounds like neocon garbage blown into the ear of the dutiful neocon writer of this tripe.

North Korean personnel had been workingin the Syrian lab Israel bombed some years so.
North Korea has been working on hypersonic missiles.
And North Korea and Iran have been exchanging scientists.

Don’t forget N Korea is tight with Russia more so than China. Russia uses the Norks and usually some West African dictator to act as a distraction to keep the US frozen in place.
