Let me propose that we congratulate them and welcome them to the Nuclear sovereign nations club with open arms as we have no intent of doing a damned thing as they jeopardize the lives of every man ,women and child in this country with the clear and present danger of articulated intent to destroy us. But let us do nothing but bang gums and divert our responsibility to the Godless communist Chinese. Yeah— Dats it!

In 1950 , both MacArthur and LeMay wanted to use American nukes to decimate the on-coming Red Chinese Army and retreating NK forces . Truman disallowed that and went on to fire MacArthur . For lack of American forceful resolve to WIN the war and crush the enemy ( before they too developed nukes ) brought on the present day situation on the Korean peninsula , established the Communist state of the PRC in China , resulted in the ‘Cultural Revolution ‘in China , resulted in the Chinese takeover of Tibet and sustained challenges to India . Resulted in the VIETNAM WAR ....Is resulting in the slow motion Chinese take over of the entire South China Sea and hegemony throughout SEA , and will probably result in a limited Pacific region ‘world war’ at some point in the future . Truman should have listened to LeMay then . Is it too late now ? Probably . Seize victory when it is first available . Don’t wait .

As terrible as the use would have been, in the long run it would have saved lives. In the Old Testament, war was to be fought as conclusive victory, which makes mercy valued and appreciated.

Japan has decided to develop Tomahawk type missiles thanks to NK. Also Japan is looking to expand the number of Aegis Destroyers it has.

This is a good thing -- it will help if there needs to be a showdown with China in 5 to 10 years...

Stupid Dimwit Democrats need to approve Defense spending...

I get your sarcasm, but there is truth in your jest. The enemy is China, Fat Boy is the puppet.

Folks we have General Mattis confirming this is an ICBM with range to reach anywhere in the world.

It is also a solid fuel rocket with a mobile launcher. Our worst nightmare.

The pinnacle of ICBM survivability.

This is very, very bad news.

Thanks....I knew it involved accuracy and a host of other particulars to pull off.

Not to worry. In regard to the Norks, it would most likely be misguided.

To add to that: TOW, Hellfire, Maverick, Durandal, Exocet, Silkworm, Penguin, Tomahawk, Phoenix in direct attack mode, Buk, LAW, Dragon (when it worked) - lots and lots of non-ballistic missiles.

"2. Preparations for a high altitude nuke test."

When I saw today's parabola, had the exact same premonition. That's the last piece of the damnable puzzle.

I will say this .... North Korea has been a country since 1948 and up until now I can’t think of another country that has given the middle finger to the world more than North Korea, yet North Korea is the only country I can think of that since 1948 has never been attacked by another country or suffered a terrorist attack and that includes all the super powers.

The North Korean regime seems untouchable regardless of what they say or do, not even the terrorists want to mess with them.

There is no doubt in my mind that they will become a legitimate nuclear power in the very near future with total capability to strike anywhere in the world. What is there to stop them ??? Tough talk and verbal threats and sactions ? That hasn’t worked for 70 years why would it suddenly work now when they are so close and can taste it ....

They know once they become a full nuclear power that they will become not only a super power but possibly the #1 super power because even though countries like USA and Russia and China etc. have nukes nobody believes any of those countries would actually use them but everyone believes North Korea would in a heartbeat so they will be the ones that every other country will bend over backwards to appease.

Amazing really how a country so poor and isolated has risen to be the most feared country in the world. On second thought more sad than amazing but the time to do anything about it was long ago. Now in America we have no choice but to just sit back and hope and pray North Korea doesn’t decide to send a missle our way.

You forget.

1) The United States remains the only power in existence which has ever nuked civilians.

2) Trump be Cray-Cray, according to CNN/MSLSD/ESPN, the Dems, and half the GOP-e...

Nike Hercules, saw a picture at the Air Defense School while it was at Ft. Bliss, the Herc was extremely accurate, it showed one landing in a barrel out at McGregor range.

That sounds like a good option.

Possibly another option would be to randomly shoot them down. That way the Norks don’t know if/when we are going to shoot.

Beta male? 0vomit?

He was WAY further down the alphabet than beta. I’ve seen little old ladies that were far more macho than 0vomit.

Yes, I’m glad Trump is in the WH! I like having a President who doesn’t act like the world’s doormat.

MAGA!
