The USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group, which includes Aegis-equipped destroyers, is headed for the Korean peninsula in anticipation of North Korea’s sixth nuclear test
Headline:
US Conducting Military Exercises with North Korea.
Kim has been threatening to start a nuclear war and we’re worried we might make him mad?
“two sources briefed on the planning told the Guardian”.
FIRE THEM!
In order for them to get shot down, they have to first get off the ground.
An unarmed missile test while provocative should likely not be shot down lease it provoke Kim into all out war. An artillery and missile attack on Seoul would be a likely result and quickly escalate to an all out war. An armed missile launch would be another matter.
.....”officials worry that ‘intercepting missiles’ could escalate tensions and risk war”......
What a stupid statement!....would they rather just let them fly and reach whatever Ol Kim chooses to target?
Do it, President Trump!
Those whom the gods would destroy, they first drive mad................
We just showed the norks how to launch a rocket. Period. Done. In your face.
Just an opinion on the matter:
I think the carrier groups are being positioned to bait the Fat Boy. They will likely be setup in patrol boxes that runs across the NORKs possible missle test flight paths. I am making a big assumption but I think that their test firings do not fly over SK air space. So any test that flies over US military ships would be an act of war. At which point, we could then strike hard and fast.
Why would anyone float this idea? If you want to “test” our missile defense system, try it against the NORKs test. If it fails, don’t say a word, it works, let everyone know...
Missiles are the greatest air weapons that threaten us and all our friends.
We are rapidly developing many really capable counter weapons, including lasers, defensive missiles, satellite weapons, etc.
Within a short few years we will have a comprehensive international defense that will likely be naval based.
We need NK and Iran to continue firing missiles so that we can test our counter measures. Live fire is the only way to know if our defenses are thoroughly working.
Once our defenses are deployed world-wide to hot spots, those regimes will be shown to the world and their own peoples as morons and not worthy of support.
“As Pentagon looks for strategies to pressure into denuclearization, officials WORRY that intercepting missiles could escalate tensions and risk war....”
The PENTAGON is not paid to WORRY......they are also not paid to maintain globalist engineered stalemates......
....(the globalists want to keep the NK nuclear threat in place as the trigger for WWIII....Russia & China just aren’t ready)
need a dot release of Stuxnet.
This assumes the missile ever gets high enough to need shooting down.
President Trump apparently thought it was heading there last week.
It was not.
We cant tel what is on his missles..Shoot them down as self defense.
If this wasn't an authorized leak, the sources should be hunted down.
From now on don't let a single NK missile fly. Knock every last one of them out of the sky. Rob North Korea of all in flight research data and target their launch facilities.
