Yeah, it has been so unlike Zero lately. Time to go back to his true nature. :-)
Sorry Tiger, but a whole lotta people could get killed, most of them your countrymen, if the Norks decide to make a demonstration. I sympathize with your view, but I really don’t want to see the SHTF in your country.
God bless, and keep you safe.
I keep wondering if the world would miss north korea and the answer keeps coming up no. So why is it still here?
You guys believe China would be ok withe Norko closing ports on the West Coast?
This is kabuki to get public support for a military tech alliance with china
It does not help to react too sensitively. It is basically rewarding their behavior.
B1s, B2s and E-6s deployed to Guam and South Korea, but a missile test targeted nowhere near North Korea is an issue? Who arrived at this notion, Hagel or Kerry?
Hagle has no original thought.
It was probably Jon f’n (Nothing bad happened after we left Viet Nam) Kerry.
And they just DID.
Well, maybe not.... Let’s now see if Kim fires something....
I don’t think Kim and his crew will see this as “enough”.... I think he’ll carry on just the same.
