Looming north korean threat

[Doc8404]

'WARNO: prepare cruise missile strike.' This is the order given to a US destroyer off North

US warship 'was given secret warning order to prepare to fire on North Korea'

“If North Korea launched missiles at Guam, Japan, or South Korea, you would certainly want your Tomahawks ready in a fast-moving scenario like that should the president or secretary of defence make the judgement to respond with an offensive strike."



I would call that defense.

It sure seems ominous that additional resources have continued to be deployed into to the region for some time and more just keep getting brought in.

It seems more substantial than just posturing or deterrence.

Yeah, but how much of this is just because of Trump's visit?

I'm guessing another test was in the works.

I wonder if they'll do it and I wonder if we will try to shoot it down?

Since their mountain just collapsed it may be more likely than before to test a missile and warhead into the Pacific.

They haven't really made too many empty claims, pretty much every major story/claim they have followed through on.

Should be interesting....

Here's an update on what happened to the now disbanded EMP commission and what Dr. pry thinks..

Interesting he thinks the deep state deliberately undermined the commission.

NK has been officially declared a state sponsor of terrorism

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Nk just had their most successful test yet

North Korea fires ICBM into Japanese waters

Early reports are this launch would have had a range over 13000km if fired at a normal angle. Basically all of North America is in range.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson Indicates Upcoming U.S. Naval Blockade of North Korea…

During several months of discussions deep in the weeds of President Trump’s geopolitical strategy toward the North Korean nuclear missile crisis, CTH extensively outlined a particular economic approach that would likely surface ONLY AFTER President Trump, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley walked methodically through the sequential elements needed.

The most important part of that sequence involved getting China and Russia to accept the cornerstone of a denuclearized DPRK. They did. The “Unamious” U.N. Security Council resolution against the DPRK was passed.
The next phase was to get the international community to agree to the strongest ever massive economic sanctions. They also did. As this was occurring, Defense Secretary James Mattis positioned U.S. Navy assets forward into the region, and close-quarter drills began in South-East Asia ocean trade routes near merchant vessels.

Evolutionary talks between President Trump and the newly empowered Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping established the framework for President Trump’s zero-sum economic position; both President Trump and Chairman Xi were clear on the possibility. Following their meeting, China sent an emissary to the DPRK and the U.S. State Dept. labeled North Korea a state sponsor of terrorism.

As anticipated, in the State Department response to the latest ICBM test, we now see the elements of a pending U.S. naval blockade. [Paragraph #2, Sentence #3]

[…] In addition to implementing all existing UN sanctions, the international community must take additional measures to enhance maritime security, including the right to interdict maritime traffic transporting goods to and from the D.P.R.K.…

[Blimey]

I have called for a naval blockade AND Chinese lock down of border for NK for months. It is now or never. Now now now. Either US attacks NK, or it crushes their economy—which it can do via all cessation of trade (this will sink them into a terrible depression and result probably in significant starvation of their population), or we just allow NK to have the nuke. No more time.

Eradicate their international trade and the regime will collapse. It is not a country that can exist without trade.

A blockade is an act of war. I wonder how one would be received by China and Russia?

Stunning Leverage Created by President Trump Over Little Dragon – Draft U.N. Security Council Resolution Targets N-Korea Economy…
Now we see China and Russia holster their U.N. Security Council veto power, because it is in their economic interests not to oppose the U.S. sanctions. Brilliant strategy:

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – A U.S.-drafted United Nations Security Council resolution aims to slash by a third North Korea’s $3 billion annual export income by banning the country’s exports of coal, iron, iron ore, lead, lead ore and seafood, a council diplomat said on Friday.

The diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there was a “high confidence” that Russia and China would support the draft resolution.

The United States is aiming for a vote on Saturday to impose the stronger sanctions over North Korea’s two intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) tests in July, diplomats said. A resolution needs nine votes in favor, and no vetoes by the United States, China, Russia, France or Britain, to be adopted.

The draft resolution would also prohibit countries from increasing the current numbers of North Korean laborers working abroad, ban new joint ventures with North Korea and any new investment in current joint ventures, said the diplomat. (link)

When it comes to the use of economic leverage to create U.S. national security outcomes, well, we are learning at the knee of an economic master player.

There is no solution to this short of reunification. We can't occupy Korea forever, no matter how righteous we fell about it. The best we can do is extend reunification 50 - 70 years down the road and in stages.

I could care less about reunification. Its not my business.

I can't personally accept a psychopath dictator with nukes capable of hitting America. That's my problem

He didn't attack or invaded anyone, you listen to propaganda and think you are informed.

Everyone who lived on the farm there has worms. It's pretty common, but our propaganda reports it's a sign of poor diet. Where the fuck did they get this from? This is just one small example of how we are propagandized.

So dramatic medical conditions, as long as a lot of people are afflicted, is ok? I mean it is common, right? The worms these people are dealing with are due to them mixing human waste into their soil as if it were fertilizer.

A lot of people in Love Canal (Niagara Falls) suffered from leukemia due to toxic waste being dumped. Since it numbered in the 100's that should be ok?

Bullshit literally and figuratively. These parasites come from farm animals and it's not just in Korea, pretty common in Europe as well. Yes it's ok. Except for some rare species they are not dangerous. You speak about things you know nothing about and draw idiotic parallels.
