The cooling of tensions between the United States and North Korea appears to be over as things begin heating up again. Kim Jong-un’s regime has now launched a trio of missiles in response to joint US and South Korea military drills.
Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, may have spoken too soon. Just last week, Tillerson attempted to dial down tensions even more by noting that there had been no missile tests or “provocative acts” from North Korea since a United Nations Security Council resolution sanctioning Pyongyang was passed earlier this month. Less than one week after Tillerson praised North Korea for showing “restraint” in its weapons program, the rogue regime launched three missiles. Pyongyang fired three short-range ballistic missiles from the Kangwon province, the US Pacific Command said. US Pacific Command, in its initial assessment of the launch on Saturday, said North Korea’s first and third missiles failed in flight. It later amended its statement to say the missiles flew “approximately 250 kilometers in a northeastern direction.”
The second missile launch appeared to “blow up” immediately after the launch, making it hugely unsuccessful. “We will continue to work with our interagency partners on a more detailed assessment of this latest launch and we will provide a public update if warranted,” command spokesman Commander David Benham said in a statement. But officials continue to claim that North Korea’s missiles are not a threat.
Even though North Korea says it now has the ability to send missiles to the United States mainland, US defense officials said these three short-range missiles at least did not pose a threat to North America or Guam. North Korean state-run media said the country’s military could strike the US at any time and that neither Guam, Hawaii, nor the US mainland could avoid the “merciless strike.”Although these launches were no threat to Guam, it reminds us that we cannot be complacent,” said George Charfauros, the homeland security adviser on the US territory. “We place confidence in our US Department of Defense capabilities and continue open communications with our federal and military partners.”
One day before the joint exercises with the US and South Korea began Monday, Pyongyang warned the US was risking an “uncontrollable phase of a nuclear war.“

Kim Jong Un is a crazy little fat shit, but if he didn’t have nukes, our government would have invaded, stole the natural resources, and absorbed the country into our wishes and needs.
And this is why he won’t give up his missiles. He saw what happened in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, etc.
Kim is crazy, but he’s not stupid!
Yea, just like we “stole” all of the “resources” in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, etc. Seriously, my liberal friends have said the same thing about the “stealing” of resources by the US for years. Hmmm, just what did we steal again?? That’s right……..NOTHING.
The US Stole OIL from Iraq, Afghanistan and a lot of Gold from Libya.. Russia has satellites in the sky watching ISIS steal Oil from Syria, take it to the ports in Turkey and load it onto ship that the sailed to Israehell. That’s a FACT!!!
How come you love Israel so much boss man? Do you want to convert and wear that cool lil hat on your head?

Yes resources are stolen

However maintaining the oil peg by inducing chaos into functioning governments using terrorists to achieve said goal is both the preferred method and common reason. Freedom, terrorism are just ostensible excuses.
N Korea or Kim Job Un can do what ever the F*ck they want, to defend their country from Oppressors, invaders or those who threaten to attack them.
Its No different than you or I carrying a gun because and hitting the practice range, because of the hood rats lurking out side your property throwing daggers at you. As long as the US Keeps Poking them in the eye, they have a right to defend themselves.
NEXT Subject!!! –>>> Move along folks nothing here to see.
I think kim is more full of shit than a christmas turkey.
Rick: True, he will NEVER, ever give up the nukes, no matter what. That is the only thing keeping him alive and that crappy nasty country of his.
The China Free Trade negotiations are gearing up. China needs the North Korean chaos to show the Us how badly they need China to tame down NK. This is just a strategy to support Chinas position. Once this is all over, providing China benefits all of this will disappear. Depending upon its advantages or disadvantages the official story will be presented and spun for public consumption.
Its all a rouse.
Our nation has nothing to fear except fake fear itself.
Fear is nothing more than a cheap tool to easily crack open the will of weak minds.
Banker: You will go broke. Purchase my services.
Teacher: You won’t get a job. Help me keep my job.
Politician: You will lose your rights. Vote for me.
Pastor: You will go to hell. Toss some coin on the plate.
Doctor: You will die. Buy our meds.
All your life you will encounter people whom will leverage something that you will lose, if you do not agree with them and choose.

“Fear is pain arising out of the anticipation of evil.”
-Aristotle
All Fear is, is the unknown uncertainty. That’s why we Prep, stay well armed and read a lot of info so nobody can BS you with phony propaganda. Because you already have the facts. So put more certainty in your lives and you will be just fine. Want to predict the future? Create it yourself. Those who wait for good things to happen, only get the left overs, from those who hustle.
Correct, CSS. Interestingly enough, many of us here didn’t need all this “forecasting” to be preppers. We do know shit happens: Fires, floods, outages and earthquakes.
For some it will be tragedy, for others, an unplanned camping trip and a few days off from work.
Should it become a permanent vacation… whatever. We’ll do our best.
Where’s my post ??

The real “threat” or military capability from North Korea is NOT mini nukes or ICBMs, but their massive conventional artillery machine which is able to “Dresden” Seoul in less than 30 minutes and also US troops on the Korean peninsula. That is their Samson option against Yankee aggression.
Darn!
They missed Honolulu!
Those rockets are 1950’s versions. They mean nothing. they can be taken out.
N.K. is where we where in the 1950’s with their rockets. Now if they had 21St. Century equipment I would be worried.

Israeli defense contractors are counting on new 50+billion dolly American defense contracts for their white XMAS, Trump has to have a good cock-and-bull story to con-vince the pubic. NK, Iran, Syria, rinse and repeat.
I’d love to know how much help the North Koreans have received from other countries on developing nuclear weapons and when they got it!
don’t worry about NK. This is all just talk. I am more worried about the US starting a war with IRAN
American business provided assistance to Hitler in WW2. Skull and Bones members all involved with the Rockefeller bankers in aiding and continuing that war effort. The Korean and Vietnam wars had just as criminal underpinnings. It can’t exist without the divide and conquer stranglehold separating Americans, right vs left keeps it going. The people played like fools.
The world can blame insane McCain, war monger of the dark state, for the success of North Korea’s missile program and subsequent ability to attack the US.
“The last time Donald Trump was in Moscow was in 2013. He came to promote his Miss. Universe beauty contest. The last time John McCain [son of Cain] was in Kiev was less than two weeks ago. There, he met with many of the soldiers who are slaughtering civilians in Donbass as well as leaders of the fascist regime. The contrast could not be clearer.
“Donald Trump has few significant connections to Russia, whilst McCain has many profound connections with the fascist regime in Kiev. He helped them get into power, he was there cheering on the coup. Therefore, why has no one accused McCain of being a Ukrainian agent, working to destabilise American democracy in the name of a corrupt foreign power?
“[McCain] helped, in a very personal capacity, to overthrow the legitimate government in Kiev whilst acting as a cheerleader and assistant to the rise of a fascist regime, currently engaged in ethnic cleansing in Donbass.”

“North Korea’s success in testing an intercontinental ballistic missile that appears able to reach the United States was made possible by black-market purchases of powerful rocket engines probably from a Ukrainian factory with historical ties to Russia’s missile program, according to an expert analysis being published Monday and classified assessments by American intelligence agencies.”

Many thanks for that posting.
Please watch Kevin Shipp on all news pipeline. It’s long but one of the best articles/videos I have ever seen. I would have sent its link but not very good at using technology. Please please watch and reply on your thoughts
Scanned through it. Assuming he isn’t a disinformation plant he is lucky to be alive.
McCain is a monster turd and always has been. To bad he could really make it in the military like his father and grandfather did, they were Admirals and what was he, some punk Lt, aahhhh and allowed himself to be captured by the dinks’. I like WINNERS not losers – As The Donald once said Next. Hope McCain’s tumor gets him sooner than later.

Son of Cain yes thank you for pointing this out
The simple-minded FAT BOY just won’t be happy until we are forced to bomb the living hell out of his limp-dick self.
Thank you Sarge for the information on Ukraine. If Ukraine helped North Korea with rockets, how much have they helped Iran? The Federal government kept reassuring us that North Korea was no threat to the continental United States and then reversed that opinion. If they were wrong about North Korea, they could also be wrong on how far along Iran is in developing their nuclear program.
