Mattis reinforces POTUS

[P-Marlowe]

Unfortunately they don’t need to pursue them. They already have them.

This is not going to end pretty.

It seems to me that it is in the interest of just about every NK with the exception of Fat Man/Little Boy and his closest collaborators of doing things that do lead to the end of the present regime. The change may be painful, but the present system is virtually unsustainable.

[The Westerner]

“...Mattis added that while the State Department was making diplomatic efforts, the United States and its allies have the most “precise, rehearsed and robust defensive and offensive capabilities on Earth.”...”

Good to hear the certainty in his voice.

I see what you did there.

Mattis reinforces POTUS

I believe Rex Tillerson did also....

“What the president is doing is sending a strong message to North Korea in language that Kim Jong Un would understand, because he doesn’t seem to understand diplomatic language … I think it was important that he deliver that message to avoid any miscalculation on their part.”

[YouPosting2Me]

I see what you did there.

Enola Gay time.

What if Trump and his administration just went silent on North Korea while continuing to build up assets in the theater?

[SandRat]

I get the feeling, from “MAD Dogs” words of warning, that if FAT-UN doesn't calm WAY down on his getting nukes, he'll get nukes, dropped on his fat butt!

The shoe fits so well, I’m suprised no one else has used the nomenclature before. It has been stirring in my (warped) brain for some time.

I call BS relative NK. This is a distraction from something more sinister /tinfoilhat

Back during the Reagan Administration, Haiti was a dictatorship ruled by Jean Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier.
Reagan sent some people there with instructions to explain how a cruise missile works.
The dictator was shown how we could send a missile through a window in his palace, without touching the frame of said window, and take him out.
He left on a U.S. Air Force plane in 1986.

Trump needs to send a diplomat and a General to explain to Fat Boy the workings and capabilities of an Ohio class submarine.
Stress that we have 14 of these submarines that are nuclear capable, and we only need ONE to remove NORK and all of its population from the face of the Earth.
Pyongyang would be transformed into a smoking hole in the ground that glowed in the dark.

"Lil Kim, we only need ONE".

I see what you did there.

Enola Gay time.

Calling Paul Tibbets and Curtis Lemay. I think our capabilities are much greater now, than fat man and little boy.

This is what is called “Fair Warning” before we bring the pain.

[Col Frank Slade]

Could be over for NORKS in about 30 minutes from launch.

McCain to Mattis: “Not only are you not authorized to speak on this matter, but you can’t make any move without my expressed permission. I am the war expert here, and I say we don’t have the ability to do anything”

The US knows which rock you hide under

Such as?

No worries...”China urges calm over North Korea...”

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/china/china-urges-calm-over-north-korea/articleshow/59987100.cms

Do we take Chinese words as we did the last head of the executive branch? Just negate it and that is what they mean?

[Moleman]

No idea what may be lurking in the background. Just seems lime an all of a sudden “Hey look over here!”
