Donald Trump puts Australia on North Korean rocket alert

SHARRI MARKSON, National Political Editor, The Daily Telegraph April 10, 2017 11:00pm

AUSTRALIA and its allies have been put on standby for the possibility of the United States shooting down test rockets launched by North Korea.

Intelligence sources told The Daily Telegraph that North Korea may launch ballistic missile test flights around the birthday of Kim II-sung, the founder of the rogue nation, on April 15 or even sooner.

The United States, which has a fleet headed to the Korean Peninsula, is understood to have notified Australia that it is fully prepared to shoot down these rockets. The Australian-United States joint facility at Pine Gap monitors North Korean missile launches, and is on standby.

For her sake, she dies before NK regime falls. Better to die as a heroine and buried with honor now. Things won't be peachy for her after the current regime falls.

"Way down upon the Yalu River, Far, far away, That’s where my Seoul is burning ever, That’s where the old NORKs play. All Pyongyang is sad and dreary Everywhere I roam, Oh Silla, how my heart grows weary, Far from the old Chosun home."

Me rike.

Oh the sun shines bright
When the Trident finds Yong Fat's home
And you can see Pyongyang
from 100 miles awayyyy

Come on. You mean the US ONLY notified Australia and if we did WHY? I think this whole story is a great big pile of BS.

Here we have President Trump telling the Nation in his first big media showing that he would not BROADCAST to ANYONE his intentions around military actions. I would call this a military action. Why would our President tell anyone.

I believe he would just shoot it down and let the pieces fall where they may and explain his actions later. He may notify the heads of State but under complete secrecy. Not some lowly low life in the ranks

So one day both Iran and North Korea launched nuclear missles at the USA. On that day, Boston, SF, LA and Seattle were all hit and had millions of casualities. The city dwellers were blocked by those farmers in the heartlands, turning them back into the very hell they had created before the attacks to wither and die. The radiation no-go no-departure zones marked a turning point in the revoluntary politics of the Left who had used both the Clinton and Obama administrations to transfer the knowhow and money to produce the weapons - the city dwellers had put them in office. Forcing them to die in place was a government decision accompanied by the slogan, Elections have Consequences, and the left lost their hold on Mass, Cali, and Wash State. The best part of the short war was that America rearmed to meed emerging threats and the nation once again had a NATIONAL POLICY rather the Political Party Policy on National Defense - now that’s change We (the People) can Live With!

I don’t think the idea was for the Norks to attack Australia. I think the idea was to test a nuke over the Pacific. But since Australia is in the vicinity (and has lots of monitoring equipment), we wanted to give the Aussies notice so they would know what is going on and not freak out if they saw something incoming from the US.

I suspect Japan is also going to be on high alert. I wonder how many of fat boys close officials are preparing to jump ship now.....one has already defected in the past months with a host of information for our officials. Heentioned the fact they he had done so successfully others may very well prepare to do like wise.
