"Senators Told North Korea Nuclear Threat Is Urgent
BY: Bill Gertz - April 26, 2017 5:57 pm
The Senate took part in a rare White House briefing on Wednesday to hear what senior leaders described as "an urgent national security threat" posed by North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.
The hour-long secret session for all senators was held at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, next to the White House, and included a brief appearance from President Trump who made short, introductory remarks.
Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also took part in the session. His presence is an indication that military options for dealing with North Korea likely were discussed. "

Not if they fire off an EMP.
They’ll probably nuke Hawaii, Alaska and possibly California first.
>It may be strategic for the Norks to nuke Hawaii or California, but why Alaska? What is strategic there, Sarah Palin’s house? Outside of Anchorage, there’s hardly anybody. Less than 1% of Alaska is inhabited, for heaven’s sake.
Anchorage does have a Joint Elmendorf AF/Richardson Army base.
Did the two presentations have the same details?
I would imagine they did. Why would they be different?
Barrasso said he favors increasing sanctions, including sanctions on China.
Sen. Chris Coons (D., Del.) called the session "very clear-eyed, sober and serious."
Still only a rumor, but now shaping up with this above comment: The signature of NKor last nuclear test was that of an advanced design that can now be greatly miniaturized and placed atop smaller, faster ICBMs. The west has been painted into a corner where elimination of this technology and threat is mandatory. Everything sux now.
see which sieve is leaking
It makes you wonder why Fat Kim thinks he can get away with it.
We have strong intelligence that the NK’s recently sold a nuclear weapon, and we don’t know where it is. It could be anywhere.
That’s what I’m guessing.
*snort*
Yep. Been on base. My brother was stationed there.
How many in the intelligence community are actually agents of the Socialist Democrat party of America?
A few at MIOBC. 1/3 at MICCC. Circa 2008.
Where will they go?
To their new version of the Greenbrier! They don’t care a wit about Americans as long as they survive to rule.
From Julius Ceasar,
Act 5, Scene 1, Page 6
...I don’t know if we’ll meet again. Therefore, accept my everlasting farewell. Forever and forever, farewell, Cassius! If we meet again, then we’ll smile. If not, then this parting was well done.

because China has been playing the USA since year minus one when it comes to NKorea.
There is a repeated pattern of NKorea “acting up” when China is under trade or other economic pressure from the USA.

Trump has finally said it out loud.
We would have had less war and bellicosity with hitlery!
This is just unreal. Makes the dubya betrayal pale by comparison.
NK, Iran, Russia, China...
Esau alert.
According to Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, Iran signed a formal agreement with North Korea just two months after the Obama administration secretly offered to open a direct channel of communication with Iran.
The Obama administration permitted planes from North Korea to fly directly to Iran w/o having to stop for nuclear proliferation inspections.
Every time I hear anything about NK I think of Obama and Iran nukes.
Trump is out of control, he is mentally ill and will send the whole world back into an nuclear holocaust induced ice age./S
North Korea has a right to nuclear arms as a sovereign nation! /S
Obama’s comment.........(crickets).
China has been exploiting NK against us since day one. No way NK exists without China.
