In response President Obama ordered a ballistic missile defence system be moved to the nearest U.S. military base to the rogue state
North Korea dramatically escalated tensions with America tonight by warning it had approved nuclear strike plans.
"The moment of explosion is approaching fast," the North Korean military said, warning that war could break out "today or tomorrow".
In response, President Obama ordered a ballistic missile defence system be moved to the nearest U.S. military base to the rogue state.
The U.S. defence system will move to Guam, the nearest American military base to North Korea, 2,000 miles south east of Pyongyang in the Pacific Ocean.
U.S. defence secretary, Chuck Hagel, said: “Some of the actions they have taken the last few weeks present a real and clear danger and threat to the interests of our allies starting with South Korea and Japan.
“Also there have been threats the North Koreans have leveled at our base in Guam and Hawaii.”

We had just such a plan in the 60’s and 70’s if the USSR invaded Western Europe and we were getting the worst of it. It works. I know someone who worked on the program. Question again is, could they get it here, detonate it at the right altitude and deliver enough of those explosions to spread it over a wide enough area? But you are right, that is more within their capability range right now.
Stalin always expected Hitler to attack...he just figured he'd be bogged down in the West, he couldn't see France falling in six weeks....He knew he couldn't have the Red Army ready until 1943, so he was just trying to stall for time.
We don’t want the war thing, man! Rodman said something like that, didn’t he?;)
Maybe Zero could negotiate with Ronery Jr
... um... Austin?
Okay, but you have to take Ithaca and Eugene too.
Then they could have a beer summit in the hot tub.
This illustrates just one of the innumerable dangers of having a weak, Leftist “President” like Zero. Everyone on Earth knows he’s weak and will therefore continually try to ‘test’ the USA under his ineffectual ‘leadership’.
Also, Zero knows that everyone else knows that he’s weak and spineless, and so may do something rash and stupid which has implications and repercussions far beyond what he thinks he understands.
Weak, loudmouthed juveniles will quite often get into a fight at times when strong, thoughtful adults would not.
is that like rioting for EBT cards?
> I’m thinking that Dennis Rodman carried a message from our leader when he visited NK.
> The blustering and threats sure picked up since then.
Maybe Rodman delivered a teleprompter that receives texts from Obama’s Blackberry.
he did say we could absorb it
One Second After? Good read, but William Forstchen is an optimist.
Shall we dig up all the times that The One and his running lackeys (that is Obama and our socialists, not Kim and his socialists), said that missile defense was a waste of money?
Not only that, which is plenty bad, but any first strike on NK would be the same as an attack on their guardian, China. That's probably the reason we didn't take out these bothersome pukes years ago.
Only if all the troops go to one end of the island.
what is going on in that picture I can’t even tell
