Yes. I think it's a sort of "passing the torch" gift from daddy nut job to son nut job.
I'm with the others about theirs being strike 2. North Korea is playing with fire.

North Korea is probably doing this because they know America won't stand up for South Korea under the current administration.  They are laughing at us.

Joe Biden had said that Obama would be tested by foreign leaders. What he didn't say is that Obama would fail every test.

and the dangers just keep multiplying.  the whack job president of iran is watching the north koreans get away with sinking other nation's naval vessels, and lobbing artillery shells foreign countries. these are overt acts of aggression.

and don't think that he isn't taking notes.

U.S. condemns N.Korean shelling, shows restraint

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States condemned North Korea's artillery attack on a South Korean island on Tuesday but said it was too soon to discuss ways the U.S. military might deter the reclusive state from another strike.

Schumer: U.S. needs to pressure China to intervene

QUEENSBURY -- The United States should pressure China to intervene in a military clash between North Korea and South Korea, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said Tuesday morning at a stop in Queensbury.

"The Chinese could shut down the North Korean operation. But as usual, China doesn't help us at all," Schumer said Tuesday at a visit to the Hannaford supermarket in Queensbury.

Schumer said the U.S. could use its trade relations as leverage to pressure China to intervene.

"We ought to say to China, ‘You've got a lot of advantages by trading with us and working with us. You'd better step up to the plate and put the heat on the North Koreans,'" he said, during a press conference about regional and national issues.

Schumer, responding to a question from a reporter, said there "is a real danger" in North Korea or Iran having nuclear weapons.

Apparently, according to Fox News & Megyn Kelly, N Korea has turned this into a full blown shooting war. US State Dept spokesman says, " North Korea has been very, very bad".....   :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :mental:



WE, Japan won't accept "special weapons". Hell, they barely allow our ships in there.

I'd be scrambling fast-attack boats out of Pearl as fast as I could.  Tomahawk-armed, all.

Why?  You've got the boats out of Guam and those attached to 7th Fleet.

Personally, I'm curious as to where the GW battle group is right now and what orders they have.

Oh, and hate to say it, but SSN's are damned near useless off the Korean coast--water is WAY too shallow.

Analysis - North Korea likely needed outside help for centrifuge

North Korea probably needed external assistance to build a uranium enrichment site, which could offer it a second source of weapons-grade nuclear material, but from whom and where remains shrouded in mystery. Skip related content

Have your say: North Korea

Nuclear experts believe North Korea might have secretly obtained components and material from several sources to help it set up a centrifuge facility at its main nuclear complex, which Washington has condemned as a provocative move by Pyongyang.

A U.S.-based think-tank, the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), had said in a report last month that North Korea had used China either directly or indirectly, as a transshipment point, to procure items for enrichment.

they don't have to accept them.  they just have to make the russians and the chinese think that are threatened enough by the north koreans that they are willing to accept them.  presto!  the game changes.

Trust me, having been on an SSN that did several upkeeps in Yoko, the word "nuclear" in any way, shape, or form is a big no-no.  They'll let our nuke ships in there, but they're real picky about monitoring, etc.

I guess we all think we have our personal experience, and we are all sure that it's right;  I spent years in japan, years ago, and I believe the thought of a nuclear equipped north korean aggressor would change all manner of japanese thinking.

and, one more time, they don't have to actually become a nuclear power, they just have to make the russians and the chinese think that they are willing to become a nuclear power.

of course.  a "unified" response.  "multilateralism", and all that.  anything else would be uncivilized.  (and effective).

so lets see how much a$$ we have to kiss to get the chinese to allow so much as a disapproving verb out of the useless UN security council.  the united states is no longer the leader of the free world.
