If somebody threatens to kill me, I’m not going to wait around for them to try it.
One day, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is threatening a nuclear strike on the United States and its interests. The next day, he says he’s targeting Seoul, South Korea. The day after, that he’s telling Toyko, “You’re first.”
The entire world recognizes that this immature bully is a problem. We just don’t know how serious he is about carrying out his threats. Many people feel it’s all about saber rattling for this young egomaniac in order to gain attention and remove the sanctions that are crippling his country’s economy. Others think he’s crazy enough to do something rash if he doesn’t get his way.
Our government continues to declare that North Korea will continue to isolate itself from the world community with its rhetoric of war. Even if there were such a thing as a “world community,” I seriously doubt if Kim Jong-un would care about becoming a card-carrying member. And I think we all know by now that if North Korea launches another missile, the United Nations will do little more than meet sanctimoniously and then decide to send the country a sternly worded text message.
Once again, it’s up to the United States to do something. People all over the world badmouth us and say we have too much power, but when it comes to dealing with a world bully, they all want to take cover under the American Eagle’s wings and then look up to us to save them. OK, fine. That’s our role, so let’s step up to the plate and fulfill it.
We need to remember that North Korea has threatened to fire nuclear weapons at us and our allies. Should we be sitting around waiting for them to make good on their threats? You can read more about this issue at CNN here.
What would your response be to North Korea’s threats if you were the U.S. president? What does the U.S. need to do in order to get North Korea to start behaving in a civilized manner? It sure seems like talking isn’t working. Please take a few minutes to let me know how you feel about this potentially explosive situation.
My suggestion:
Everyone (including POTUS) needs to reread Article I, Section 8 of our beloved U.S. Constitution for the answer to this ever-evolving question.
My 2 cents: Okay, lets say we take out ALL bombs in that bully’s country. Then what? Nothing? Do you think any of the other countries in the world will stand idly by as we bomb the crap out of a country that, in point of fact, has done no damage, other than verbal threats. And btw, FRANK, if I threaten your family, and you come after me, YOU’RE GOING TO PRISON. FREE SPEECH and all that crap. Yes, I know it sucks, but if I want to, I can stand on your curb and curse at you and your family and there is nothing you can do about it. Call the cops? Perhaps. But they’ll say WE ARE ALL ENTITLED TO FREE SPEECH. Other than running into a firehouse and yelling”movie” that is, ;) we are all free to speak our minds. Yes, even the degenerates can speak their minds too.
Just remember this, (a pun), that God must love assholes because he made so many of them. ha!
Is there anything I have written here that is not 100% accurate? This has nothing to do with perception either. Or that ‘truth’ is in the eyes of the beholder. Bullshit!
A TRUE killer, rapist, murderer, bomber, etc, will NEVER tell you they are coming. They’ll just do it. The ones that announce themselves are generally harmless. Still, I am not saying to ignore them but for now, no action is taken until the degenerate in question crosses that imaginary line into madness. Until then, what can you do? What can any of us do. Stay vigilant! Always be aware of your surroundings. Yes! Take no-one for granted. Absolutely. And NEVER, EVER HIT A WOMAN!!!
Looks like Johnny Depp crossed that line into madness, huh? But that’s no excuse for him hitting a woman.
EOL
Rich, it actually is against the law to threaten someone. Duh!
Even though the Constitution guarantees the right of free speech, that right is not an absolute one. The law has long recognized specific limitations when it comes to speech, such as prohibitions against slander and libel. In some situations, speech can even constitute a crime, such as in the case of criminal threats. A criminal threat, sometimes known as the terrorist threat, malicious harassment, or by other terms, occurs when someone threatens to kill or physically harm someone else.
I would put nukes up in key posutions and make sure he knows it so he won’t be stupid to fire his. Or take aim at his sites
So far, it seems, we are able to see the missile on the pad before they fire. If this continues to be the case. When they threaten and start preparing the missile, blow it up while it’s on the pad.
He must be taking out of office
The government of the USA has been meddling with everybody else for the last century. That is why we are in the trouble we are in. The only thing that will save our bacon is to get the hell out while we are still strong enough to defend ourselves. Stop giving the whole world reason to hate us. No more involvement in affairs that are not ours. No troops on foreign soil. If Japan doesn’t have the means to defend herself from a nuke tossed at her from North Korea, we could have a ship off her coast, ready to shoot it down, but I doubt that that is the case. Otherwise, we should only have a diplomatic presence. Start following the Constitution.
Ron, I’ll grant we have t times gotten too involved in some areas, however, please show us in the Constitution where it says we must be an isolationist Fortress America? The restriction, and one that sadly hasn’t been met since after FDR and WW II, is that Congress, and only Congress, has the authority to declare war.
As for deploying troops, Madison and Jefferson both did so. But I take it you believe we started WW I, WW II the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War. Like it or not, and I understand many don’t, the US was thrust into the position of becoming a superpower with grave responsibilities. Have we always exercised tat burden responsibly? I’d say no.
Still, isolationism has never worked and never will. I wonder if you realize that an isolated America wouldn’t survive long in this world. Do you really think that being strong economically and militarily is meant to win a popularity contest. We’ll only be “popular” when we’re prostrate bowing down to some foreign power, likely an Islamic Caliphate.
Bob, I don’t think Ron is proposing that we isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. But having a military presence around the world of over 700 outposts in 134 countries, not to mention our huge Naval presence around the world, is 180 degrees from that.
This is gross overreach, and moreover, how’s it working for us?
Not very well. The fact is, since the turn of the century, it’s had a big part in turning what was the greatest creditor nation in the world into the greatest debtor, with a national debt now of more than 250% of GDP. As a result, our economy is in shambles, and is presently on the verge of the greatest collapse in our history.
All the great empires eventually collapse in a sea of red ink, and then try to bail themselves out by debasing their currency. This is being repeated, right now, here in what was once the land of the free and the home of the brave.
I don’t think there is the political will in Washington to reel in the empire; it’s going to have to happen by default, and few Americans will be ready for it.
Show us in the Constitution where the Federal government is supposed to meddle in other sovereign nations? The Constitution is a document that allows the federal government certain functions, and prohibits all others. And, isolationism worked pretty well in the past. We are supposed to be defending our own borders, not everyone else’s. I am not the Ron N who wrote the original post, but I agree with him 100%.
I’m ex-military retired. I read all the stuff you say about the North Koreans, and what the U.S.A. is doing and how badly the military is doing? I will agree that the military personnel has depleted, however, our military weaponry, and war strategies are among the best and wises, in the world. North Korea, is simply a fly, which is not even in the soup. The USSR Knows how built up we are, in our war machine, the have spy’s all over. I personally have seen the weapons we have in the military arsenal, and they scare me. The wises thing for a great nation to do, is not to react, but to respond in the wises manner possible. The military weapons are always evolving. The Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy. We are a force to be reckoned. If North Korea, jumps? We would Zapp them in 3 days time. Our military machine is ready for any body, I know. Regardless of who is running the country. China will think N. Korea is a pawn. We owe China lots of money. I’m not saying china isent going to be pissed. I think the possibility of losing all that money might make them re-think on jumping. I think China is keeping Kim Jung-un in check. Our military might is there like a Giant sleeping. That is why we wait in the shadows to make others think we are weak, when in reality we are strong. The Military has weapons that could see you 1000 miles away, and they have bombs that can clear an area of one quarter mile square in seconds. I have seen this in action. I fear no one nor any other nation. I see our military might every day. We can even shoot around corners or from remote locations. Our war machine is ready and standing by waiting to be activated. For now it sleeps.
We are in a tough spot with this little dictator and if we take him out his sister would likely take over or they may have a military coup. It is hard to say but I do think China could get involved and we can not afford to start fighting another war. We are 17 trillion dollars broke now. If he does try to attack us let him have two nukes right in the capital city dead center. If that does not get his attention let him have two more in the next largest population center or maybe where he has the most troops located. In the mean time keep the peace if possible.
feel a non-violent way is best,we don’t want to give these war-mongers a reason to start another war.Hack their systems.Let a sniper take Kim out 2 miles away.There are many
Because N Korea is so unpredictable, I find them to be a greater threat than Russia at this point. They are really a loose cannon. Short of assassinating Kim (who would just be replaced by another bully clone of his father and grandfather) we could risk a confrontation by putting a couple of carriers off N Korea coast in the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea; We could even blockade N Korean ports so they could not take in or send out any shipping. Of course they could still get air shipments from Russia and China, but these 2 countries are not exactly comfortable with the unstable midget in Pyongyang either.
He’s both a threat & a Physco but the day we send strikes against him without him firing first will be the day China may strike us…? The Lil’ Physco got help & tactical nukes from China. Sure he could try an attack but we’ve got enough defensive measures to stop most of what he’d send…lol, plus the World is tired of the USA being such a “Bully” & we are. Look at all the Wars we’ve been in over the last 20+ years! When we get it the whole World will be glad the Big Western Bullies are getting the same thing they’ve been doing to others. That’s sad too but you & I didn’t do this. It was these big Defense Department Corporations with ties to Government that have driven this Big Business & we the people couldn’t stop it. Just like the War on Drugs, the “War on Terror” is an open ended money pit which can never be defeated, only fed more cash & lives! peace to all
So you are worried about North Korea, WHY? You should be worried about the Ukraine and Russia. This is the hot spot. If the Western World, NATO, doesn’t do anything to prevent Russia from annexing the Russian influenced part of the Ukraine; then the USA and NATO is in for a world of hurt. When Hitler and Russia invaded Poland in 1939; the world powers at the time, England and France fail to do anything about it, except talk about how horrible it was for Germany and Russia to invade Poland. This inaction indicated to Hitler that he can do what he pleased and the rest of the world will sit on their hands and do nothing to help Poland. Well, I guess we forgot that lesson didn’t we. Russia having learned this lesson in 1939, has done the same thing again. This time Russia has invaded the Ukraine. What did todays world powers did about it? The USA told the Russia President Putin, “We will FREEZE your personal funds.” The USA also said, “We will FREEZE your friends personal funds too.” What did President Putin said in return? “Go ahead, make my day.” “I don’t care. I will still annex parts of the Ukraine.” President Putin said to President Obama.
This is the start of the end for the USA as a world power. Russia, China and other nations do not want to have the would currency tied to the US Dollar anymore. It costs them too much money. These countries are doing their best to make these changes. China, for example, has refused to use the US dollar for goods and services when dealing with other countries. They are using their own currency in lieu of the dollar. They have the gold to back it up. Quite a few countries are now accepting the Chinese currency.
Russia is using their oil and diamonds to back their currency. With their influence over their satellite countries; the Russian ruble is becoming more and more accepted.
So, Russia told the USA to go pound sand. The whole world is watching and waiting to see what the USA will do. If the USA doesn’t “put boots on the ground” to show that we mean business; then expect to see an increase of punk-ass countries like North Korea to act up. Just like a room full of high school students giving the substitute teacher a hard time; if that teacher doesn’t get control over these students but quick, than that teacher will lose control over the entire class. The USA must get control over Russia or the entire world will become uncontrollable. The USA will lose world respect. There is no one to blame except ourselves.
The USA can not be “Uncle Sam money bags” anymore. The rest of the world must put in their fair share to help maintain this control. They too must be held accountable because it affects them too. But, the USA can not be a cheapskate either. “War is hell.” It should be used as a last resort. However, you should never be afraid to put boots on the ground. The USA must realize that the cheap comes out expensive. It cost money to fight and maintain a superior military force. Laws are needed to have this military force supplied at a reasonable price. Corporations must control these higher prices instead of increasing them. Right now, these higher costs has made it almost impossible if not difficult for our country to maintain this military force. For example, 500 million dollars for one jet, 55 million dollars per tank, $100,000.00 for one bomb. This is Bull S@#t. This has forced the USA to use drones, economic and political world pressure methods which takes years and has failed time after time. Look at Iran. For over 40 years, the USA has in place economic sanctions against Iran. They have learned to do without. Russia and China are larger and they are for the most part self reliant. Any sanctions against these two countries will be seen as a childish gesture, to be laugh at.
So, you are worried about North Korea. North Korea has a policy of harassing the South Koreans by shooting at their ships while in South Korea waters. The South Korean’s, on the other hand, fire back at the North Koreans. The South knows that if the North Koreans ever attack them; then the USA will support the South Koreans 100% with its military might. If North Korea goes after Japan, the Japanese know that the USA will also support them 100% with its military might.
The USA knows that the cost of involvement will be extremely high. This is why the USA is willing do what ever it can do to defuse these situation(s) at all cost.
If the USA allows Russia to invade and take control over the Ukraine do as it pleases, then North Korea and other countries will also try our resolve.
Again, I say to you why worry about North Korea when you should be focusing on Russia first.
I’m afraid you are “fighting the last war”, as they say. The sorrowful fact is that the U.S. can’t afford another war. Incredibly enough, we squandered trillions in the past two wars, more than all other wars put together. We’re broke, and everybody knows it. Please consider the following:
1. Our Founding Fathers had a standard for “boots on the ground” (that is, declaring war). It MUST be in the critical national interest, and you do not EVER place a deterrent force. That is what they were so critical of European countries doing. It WILL eventually box you into a corner where the rationale for war is FORCED upon the U.S.
2. How did the U.S. win the cold war? Reagan purposely pursued a strategy of antagonizing the USSR into having to place troops all over the globe AND to get them into an arms race. That is, he used economic tactics, and it broke the Soviets. What does it look like our foes are doing to us today? What you propose is playing into our enemies’ hands.
I know it is against our natural instincts to stand up for what’s right, but we need to save our economy and our society first. We are becoming sick and weak. Strengthen our country first.
And that all leads to North Korea. We have had “boots on the ground” for well over 60 years. How has that worked out for us? I don’t think that we need to insert ourselves into more conflicts. In this case, besides the direct cost of keeping troops in South Korea, we have placed an armed contingent on the border. No wonder we have become North Korea’s focus.How would we feel with 10,000 North Korean troops entrenched along our border with Mexico? I don’t believe we could ever tolerate North Korea OR Mexico.
Please, people. We need to heal and regroup.
Osito, it really saddens me to hear your remarks. I feel that I must set you straight.
First, I am not fighting the “The last War” but rather trying to remind you as well as others of the mistakes and lesson learned from a similar situation(s) by sighting the invasion of Poland by Germany in 1939 and how it was done and looked upon by other nations.
When a “bully” is confronted by a group of people and that bully perceives that this group of people will get involve; then this bully is apt not to act aggressively, out of fear of attack from that group of people. This is the nature of a coward.
President Obama and NATO could have moved its troops and equipment close to the Ukraine border, calling it maneuvers, to be in range to render assistance if asked by the Ukrainian government. It is the same tactic that Russia was doing on its border with the Ukraine. If NATO matched Russia’s movements; then Russia would think twice about invading the Ukraine. NATO would be to close for comfort.
Your history, as to the down fall of the USSR, is a bit off. The USSR fell not because the USA was being antagonistic, nor having USSR troops all over the globe, or even having President Regan applying some sort of economic tactics against the Russians; no sir-re-bob, it is because the USSR put itself into an economical bind by telling its manufacturing plants to dummy the output reports with a positive surplus and growth when in fact they were not. Russia had gambled that this will keep the country from falling on its face. Unfortunately, when it was discovered that Russia had “cooked its books” Investors and manufactures started to pull its financing and corporations out of the country. This left Russia holding a bag of lies and debt. The Russia’s money began to inflate beyond the country’s ability to control. Russia also began to renege on its financial obligations. This is why Russia fell. The USA just seize upon this opportunity and took advantage of the situation.
Lastly, you need to realize that the North Korean’s constantly harass the South Korean’s by shooting across their border and the DMZ. From personal experience, I have seen tunnels that the North Koreans have build under the DMZ. It is their hopes that when they invade the South, they can use these tunnels to move troops, supplies or use as a forward operation base, known as a FOB. Russia is the North Korean’s ally. If you can control Russia you also control North Korea. This is why facing down Russia over the Ukraine is so critical to the USA interest in Korea and Japan.
Osito, you speak of trillion of dollars that is spent on our military and other things; when this money should be spent on ourselves. Well Sir, I agree that a lot of money has been spent on things that could have – no should have been better spent on. My objections is not that the money has been spent on our military; but that our country has been over charged by the contractors. Our Government has allowed themselves to be taken to the cleaners. These contractors have been over charging our Government for years. The Government in turn has over charged its citizens. The USA does so by, or in most cases; the USA prints more money and charges its citizens with inflation and low interest charges.
It is infantile to think of yourself first when there are more pressing matters in this world that need our immediate attention. If you turn your back on your allies when they need you; what do you think will happen then when you need your allies? They will remember that you were not there for them, so why should they be there for you. If anything, when the USA gives its word to another country the USA will keep its word. And before you tell me or give me examples where the USA failed to keep its word; it is the intent of our government to keep its word at all times. If you have a guard dog on your property do you think a crook will take a chance that it will not attack? This is why the USA is on the DMZ.
Osito, you say that the United States is becoming sick and weak. I disagree with you 100 percent. What we need to do is to rethink where we are spending our monies, are we getting “BANG FOR OUR BUCKS” and controlled spending. We need to be accountable for our spending and see to it that we fix our spending problems. Even if the problems come from our own corporations or government.
if i was the president, i would have a meeting with china and s, korea and japan and russia about this punk. i would not put it past him to push the button and nuke us. that sattelite they put up over our country has a nuke in it. they could detinate it and cause a major EMP on our country. i would send a few B2″S and a squadren of f22 raptors and take out his whole army and all his weapon istallations. pound that lil dictator into the ground. even if civilans must die , this is the only way to stop this phsyco.
I love the movie Swordfish for one reason and that reason is for situations just like this. The United States is the world power and always has been since the day we took our freedom and made it our own. Our current government is doing everything they can to make us appear passive and weak and unfortunately our situation is such. However, it does not take much to show the world (Puttin) that the United States of America will not bow and we will not be allow any country to threaten the foundations of our freedom whether they mean it or not. We need to show the world that we are still a country united by common bonds and simply take care of the problem. However, in order to do such we need to elect individuals who merit the Constitution as part of their souls and remove the current aristocracy whom represents themselves and could care less about “We the People”!
I’m not sure we’re on the same page, but I essentially agree with the sentiment. I’m sick and tired of people trying conflate non-interventionism and isolationism. Our Founding Fathers were staunchly non-interventionist, but for aggressive economic engagement with the world. But let’s not forget the “shores of Tripoli” from the Marine battle song. The U.S. was against war, but would not tolerate the Barbary Pirates, and we sent the Marines to exert just enough force to resolve the problem. This type of thing we can do. I don’t think that is a viable solution to the North Korean problem right now. If we can regain our fiscal and societal health, we can regain our standing.
Sadly, the truth is that many ARE pushing non interventionism as part of a neo-isolationist policy. The idea that we can trade our way to bring peace with hostile nations and beliefs is lofty, but naive, dangerous, and won’t prevail.
The issue isn’t whether we should abandon interventionism completely or meddle in everyone’s business, but when and how should we use force in keeping with Constitutional principles and the long standing concept of Just War.
So, should we then attack N. Korea now? I don’t think there’s enough reason to do so. Unlike some Muslim leaders, the leaders of N. Korea aren’t suicidal. They want their country to survive. Of course they’re playing a dangerous game of saber rattling as we might at some point take them so seriously as to resort to a preemptive attack.
By the same token, showing weakness to these bullies won’t work either. There’re other options than war.
It’s not going to happen…NOT obama’s agenda. Defending America isn’t his game plan. Breaking her, cutting her off at the knees is what this is all about. He will do nothing…not exactly correct. He will go golfing or perhaps on a vacation…more important to him than any ole silly World war! Wake up Americans…he’s playing you!
It is time for the US to stop buying things from China, Russia and any other country we feel are ripping us off. and then the get our own industries to wise up also. I am for free enterprise, but lately it has been only free for everybody else. We don’t need oil from the far east, we don’t need cheap junk from China, we don’t need fancy high priced junk cars and parts from the rest of the world, What we need to do is get our own spending under control and stop wasting money on give away funding of every rinkydink country that will not carry their own wate.
If I’m not mistaken it was America that gave n. Korea the nukes. They were sold by Donald rumfelds company with the permission of the Clinton administration.
Oh, And if You extended your Hawaiian vacation at the expense of a Veteran, raise your hand. I see. Only One.
This new young bully needs to be stopped now. All he is looking for is to make a name for himself, who murders his own uncle cut him up in pieces and feeds his body to starving dogs, doesn’t the world see this is an crazy man that wants and needs attention from the world and will not stop at anything to get attention. I am a veteran,that being said someone needs to take him out of the equation ASAP.
Yes, I’ve heard these stories too of how kim jung un got rid of his uncles and dad’s closest advisors. But, I also have to remember people seem to feed on “fear mongering” (N Korea is a good example). However, I worked with an educated woman from Bejing, China. Chine keeps a ‘tight reign’ on N. Korea. For most Chinese, she tells me, N. Korea is like an embarassing neighbor. We should be very careful and “..exhaust every diplomatic means from going to war.” Tsung Tzu. Never forget how the media got most of us behind going to Iraq? That’s when I could seed who was a “sheep” just following the heard and those of us that don’t forget how our govt. has gotten us behind going to war. WWII and the Korean war, I feel, were the only 2 “good fight” wars of the 20th century. Maybe we should ban military recruiters from attending high school graduations in their “dress blues”. They get first pick of our “best intentioned young people”. They should be here on our soil fighting for OUR freedom and not under the guise of fighting for freedom in the middle east. We’re over there for their resources, nobody’s freedoms have done anything but be lost to those men and women who fought, killed and died only to have them taken away from us. “Anyone who trades ‘security’ for freedom, deserves neither.”. B. Franklin.
No more boots on the ground. The government does not even take good care of our disabled G I’s who has come home from Iraq and Afganistan. Lets start using some of the weapons we have in our arsenal to let the world know, we mean business.
Won’t happen. bho HATES our military and any confrontation. Look how he handled Benghazi…he went campaigning after he knew our Consulate was fearing for their lives and needed additional security. WASN’T IMPORTANT TO HIM…Korea isn’t important to him. Maybe he can go golfing with the Premier of Korea. Better know how to play a handheld Gameboy! the Premier is very young, but has an advisor that is helping him make decisions. bho’s mentality will match that of the kid’s. Aren’t we lucky to have a President like bho? Duh………
Well I would think that Nuclear retaliation is not the why! If we can make a James Bond Movie then Go For it!
Take him out! Blow up the plants ! They act like they can’t do that! We train special forces all day every day just for this!
Just getterdone!
I agree. Maybe I watch too many movies, but can’t we just send so secret special forces in there and snipe this dude? Or like the videos on the Internet where someone in complete darkness gets OBLITERATED by an aircraft flying at several thousand feet away by a serious spray from heavy firepower. To me, it makes sense to get rid of this guy before he causes a global disaster. Fukushima hit close enough to home. I worked at many nuclear facilities including F1-U1,U2,U3, and U4. That accident caused global contamination, and it was relatively contained, but still releasing more every day. It’s not so much a big explosion. Radiation in some types has a “half life” of hundreds of years.
Maybe I’m dreaming, but he’s definitely in need of a serious spanking.
Remember your history. We did not defeat North Korea in the 50’s. There is not treaty that ever was signed by them with the US. They only agreed to stop fighting for the time. North Korea is considered by China as their problem child and South Korea their lost child,who they would love very much to have back. We get involved battling N.Korea we will also be taking on China. We can’t afford that type of war any way you look at it and N.Korea’s knows that. So Kim will keep shooting his mouth off until China shuts him up. And they will
I agree with bejed. Cut the red tape and use measurable force that is smart. We didn’t destroy Japan or Germany but we crippled them. Target their weapons depots, major factories, power plants, ect. Bring the country to it knees. The only way to destroy a bully country is to strike fear into them. This is something I wish we would do with Our current leadership. Above all be ready to protect yours from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.
Amen!
It seems that only the poor peasant has to take the blows to shame the rulers of the county to wise up from the international shame of their actions. How about getting the citizens to rise up in protest of their leaders actions. Look at Egypt, We need to support the people of the country and make life tough for the loudmouth that is ruining it.
I say the US goooobermint is more of a threat to the American people than Kim Jung Un. If the American people don’t have the guts to take their goooobermint back with a coup, then they CERTAINLY can’t do anything about a spoiled brat overseas. Anyway, if they want to defend themselves against Kim Jung Un, they will first have to engineer a coup in order to get enough power to do something abut the little weasel.
We all should be very cautious in what we ask for, The leader of the greatest and strongest nation of the world at this moment has his head where the sun don’t shine and can’t remember, was not told, did not hear or any of the rest of his excuses and is not who we “Americans” want to lead us in to world war 3.
Drone strike….That is what Obama knows best, chances are it will be too late. He did self-describe as being lazy..or hold on a minute, He didn’t know about it….WWIII, God Help Us…
Don’t provoke it with words just be ready to pound the crap out of them if it becomes necessary. Unfortunately I feel that with the current things going on no one really wants a Third Word War. However being prior military I know quite well what the surroundings in Korea are and know that it would be difficult to rout them out of the bunkers and tunnels that are in place.
I’m not sure about CNN or watching it on CNN But I’m more worried about what we done to provoke it Or is he just being a real bully Cuz if he’s being a real bully then yes Or if we’re being a bully then… and I’m not talking about we the people
Korea has always been a tough opponent in any war. These people have a determination and resolve unlike Americans…if they say they will do it, they do it. They persevere…don’t give up easily. Ask any Vet who was in the Korean War…challenging to say the least. Personally, Korea has a very young leader with raging hormones, so no telling what he will do. Just think of your older teenage son trying to find a place for himself in this world…except add many advisors, a huge military that he controls, a fancy uniform, and other military personnel clamoring for his attention. WOW! that would give any kid a huge ego!! Let’s hope he has a large conscience to match it.
Our World situation is precarious at best. America “used to be” the Super Power, but after bho’s destructive elimination of a huge percentage of our Military and WEAPONRY, we just aren’t that powerful any more. If we make any strikes, we damn well better make then dead on. Our supplies are nothing like they used to be…thanks to the playboy King in the Oval Office.
Actually, the best move Americans could make today to ensure our Country is strong and protected — IMPEACH OBAMA which will remove all his criminal appointments and legislation (including obamacare) from our land — and hopefully his name too! There’s your solution. Once he is removed and a new morally strong, patriotically directed President takes over, our Country’s Military will be rebuilt to the strength it once was…and we would be rid of the horrible stink coming from Philadelphia ave.
Don’t hold your breath about the Korean situation…bho has gone golfing. Korea is in the basket to be “filed” in the round file.
FYI: bho recently was the speaker at one of our Country’s prestigious Military Academies Graduation classes such as West Point or the Naval Academy. That night is one the cadets will never forget. Bho told these excited graduating Cadets that he alone handled the Ukraine issue and is also responsible for taking care of Iraq and other world issues. The Cadets knew these were lies and that began a night they would never forget. Many Cadets just shook their heads in disgust. Then when bho pretty much told them their services wouldn’t be needed to protect our Country, but would be needed to control the U.S. citizenry if they didn’t obey our Environmental Laws, the Cadets mood swung to silent anger…all expressed on their faces. But did bho notice that his audience’s applauding was only being done by 6 out of hundreds? No, he didn’t, because hearing his own glorious voice was all that mattered to him that night. Instead of creating hundreds of new dedicated Military personnel ready to defend the United States at all cost, he turned them away and made them enemies of his cause. Nice going Egoman! Many cadets refused to accept that they would be used to control their own people and their angry faces expressed just that thought — but that is exactly what bho said in his speech…the murmurings of a quasi-dictator slipped out that night.
MY OPINION OF THIS WHOLE MESS IS THAT NORTH KOREA IS NO LONGER AFRAID OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THEM IF THIS CRAP CONTINUES. WE DON’T HAVE A MAN LIKE REAGAN OR JFK LEADING US NOW AND N. KOREA LIKE ALL OTHER COUNTRIES THINK THAT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR. IT’S PAST TIME TO STEP UP. WE HAVE TRYED TO HELP EVERY OTHER COUNTRY TO THE POINT THAT WE CAN NO LONGER TAKE CARE OF OUR SELVES. WE NEED TO DO WHAT WE SAY WE WELL DO AND BE READY TO DO IT. WE DON’T NEED TO SEND ANY MORE TROOPS ANYWHERE. WE NEED A LEADER THAT WE BELIEVE IN. NOBODY HAS TRUSTED THE SOCALLED LEADERS WE HAVE NOW FOR A LONG TIME, BUT THATS OUR FAULT FOR PUTTING THEM IN OFFICE. I THINK THAT IS A FARCE TO, OBAMA DID’NT WIN THE POPULAR VOTE, BUT I GUESS THAT DOESE’NT MEAN ANYTHING. STAND UP AMERICA, TRUST IN GOD.
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! But, unfortunately we don’t have one and the 2016 elections are too far away. This situation is here and now. However, I believe bho will just go golfing instead of address the issue. His arrogance and egotistical behaviors condemned our Ambassador and Seals in Benghazi to grisly, torturous deaths…and he still doesn’t care what happened to them. More people need to know what happened to our Ambassador and Seals because their deaths weren’t swift and quick…they lingered after being castrated, sodomized, beaten, burned and drug through the streets. No one wants to hear what happened to them because it is so sick and twisted and barbaric…but it happened…because bho and Hillary refused to do their duties as assigned to them by our U.S. Constitution…it was their dereliction of duties that killed our Americans. Come on…6 weeks before it happened, the White House was notified many times requesting additional Security…all ignored by the “Boobsy Twins”.
So my question to you is, “If ignoring our American Consulate’s plea for more security is how they play the game, why should their motives and actions differ in this case”? obama will just go play golf and ignore Korea until it goes away or makes an action. ‘WHAT ME WORRY”…I’ve got golf time, see you later! American people, you are on your own!
North Korea is pretty small as far as countries go. Even one nuke would have severe negative repercussions to our allies in the region. That leaves only one viable option. Pound their little section of the peninsula to dust with conventional weapons and don’t let fear of civilian casualties get in the way. Kim’s young-un won’t let concern for civilian casualties stay his hand from lobbing a nuke into So. Korea, Japan, or even the mainland US if he get his hands on a delivery system capable of making the trip. Hit their nuke sites first to destroy them before they can be put to use. That’s the only viable solution I can see. Unfortunately, with out military capabilities so heavily degraded by the policies of the man-child currently squatting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, we might not be able to do it.
Remember we also have an immature bully, and a lot of other things, at our helm. Obama is more interested in helping his beloved Muslim Brotherhood and his power than saving any lives, except his own.
Agreed. And bho has purposely removed high ranking Military Officers with experience and knowledge about war strategies. Some were just asked to leave, others left on purpose because of bho’s military policies and his reduction of our Military and weaponry. From his first actions around our Military and its traditions, bho and mo have shown no respect nor honor during any Military event. They act like little children whispering and giggling…another RED FLAG bho is not presidential material! Like the blogs say, let’s just end this Korean testosterone game with a few strategically placed missiles. Once we do this, not only will Korea know that we mean business, but so will Russia and the Ukraine. It will speak volumes to the World community. However, I truly do not think this will happen, because bho’s objective is to tear America down from her pedestal, not defend her or give her more strength. You need to read about “One World Order” — he’s really trying to do this…and having the U.S. becoming the elite world power again is not the goal he has in mind for America! Google it….
I am from a military family, I am military myself. We protect ourselves from deviants of the US by carrying weapons with us. Sorry to say if you are not packing then you will be a victim in this country sooner or later. I would have no problem eliminating a threat to my family or me. It is a good thing I am not the president, this send in more troops to be mangled/killed does not work for me. keep our people safe and eliminate the problem. this ideal of using the least force necessary to get the job done, does not work. It doesn’t work here with police, as evident by our crime rate; and it sure doesn’t work with the military.
I agree. I think we need to find everything with wings, load it with ordinance, and turn it into a parking lot. After that, next stop – Kremlin. Can you hear us NOW?
I agree, but our military personnel are expendable to bho…he HATED them from the moment he took office. Remember the first time he had to watch our Marines, etc. parade in full dress uniforms in front of him, saluting their Commander-In-Chief? I watched every second of that event. bho never saluted them or stood at attention or even put his hand over his heart…nothing. He stood there looking completely bored and disrespectful. That was the first RED FLAG that he was NOT presidential material! So in answer to your blog, I do believe, from bho’s past Military track record, he will just send in more Military personnel, because they are expendable to him…he doesn’t look at them as being humans with families and lives, but he thinks of them as drones, robot like drones…expendable. I, too, wish we would end this mess before it gets really out of control. But bho just isn’t capable of doing that. Remember when our Military got Bin Laden? Did you see bho’s face and body language? Very, very uncomfortable, almost panic stricken…tried to hide it, but that kind of stink slips out no matter how hard someone tries to stop it. But then again…bin laden was a brother muslim. Hmmmmm.
