How quick would the United States respond if North Korea attacked the United States?
If the Navy or the Air Force stop the attack in air, what would happen next, would the US retaliate?
Well, Obumber said he wanted to level the playing field. Wonder how he likes it?
We are taking this seriously and are concerned, we are giving it our utmost attention.
