Obama warns North Korea of US military strength

President Barack Obama said on Saturday the United States did not use its military might to “impose things” on others, but that it would use that might if necessary to defend South Korea from any attack by the reclusive North.

The North warned last month it would not rule out a “new form” of atomic test after the UN Security Council condemned Pyongyang’s launch of a mid-range ballistic missile into the sea east of the Korean peninsula.

Obama and South Korean President Park Geun-hye presented a united front against North Korea at a joint news conference following their summit on Friday, warning that they would respond firmly to any “provocations” by Pyongyang which routinely threatens the United States and South Korea with destruction.

“We don’t use our military might to impose these things on others, but we will not hesitate to use our military might to defend our allies and our way of life,” Obama told cheering US forces at the Yongsan garrison on a sunny spring morning.

When Obama talks tough it means he's getting ready to wimp out.

Uh, guy? Your entire administration has been predicated on open contempt for our "way of life" and a burning desire to change it. Now, if you'd said "We'll nuke you on behalf of all the oppressed gay people in Pyongyang" then I might believe you.

Isn’t amazing how many warnings zero has to give about America’s power since he has taken the residency? Maybe it’s because everybody knows what a weak irrelevant resident he is.

Weak and foolish Democrat presidents always wind up causing needless mayhem.

Despots everywhere rejoiced when Obama was re-elected.

They are safe from Obama’s retaliation as long as they don’t insult any muslims.

Okay, help me keep this straight.

So far we’re poking at Putin, pulling at N. Korea, rattling our saber at China. We have troops and assets in Afghanistan, who are sitting above Syria and Iran and to the west of a grudging friend and of course below and between China and Russia.

How is this supposed to end well for us?

Another “red line.” No wait, a blue one, no a purple one, no a green one, no a plastic one, no wait, a Turkish one, no a rainbow one, no a black one-—sorry, I finally crossed the line, a nonexistent one.
