A Tweet from President Donald Trump on Saturday has led many to believe that the White House is planning to attack North Korea as the rogue nation prepares to test a nuclear missile that could hit the west coast of the United States.
“Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid,” Trump rightfully declared.
The president then took a major step towards war (whether you agree or disagree is irrelevant here) by declaring his belief that “only one thing will work,” a statement perceived by many as implying that his administration believes a military strike on North Korea is the only real solution to the ongoing nuclear situation.
Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid……

…hasn’t worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!

Amazingly, Trump seems to be directly at odds with his own Secretary of State when it comes to North Korea, as Tillerson has looked to calm the situation while the president continues to make clear he does not believe diplomatic discussions will work.
“Last weekend, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told reporters during a visit to China that the US conflict with North Korea is “overheated” and that the first priority was to calm things down. He said that the US has a direct line of communication open with Pyongyang over North Korea’s nuclear tests,” reported Business Insider.
“Trump diverged from the US State Department later that weekend and said Tillerson was “wasting his time” opening up talks with the North Korean regime. The president added that being nice to Kim “hasn’t worked in 25 years, why would it work now? Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed. I won’t fail.”
The increased rhetoric from Trump indicating a possible upcoming military attack on North Korea comes at the same time as the rogue nuclear nation is preparing to test fire a missile that can reportedly hit the west coast of the United States.
According to a report in The Mirror, a Russian lawmaker recently returned home from a trip to Pyongyang with news that the nation was “rather belligerent” and planning their next nuclear test.
North Korea is set to test-fire a new “high range” missile capable of hitting the US mainland, a Russian lawmaker claims.
Anton Morozov revealed Pyongyang’s plans as he returned from a five-day visit to the hermit state – where the mood is “rather belligerent” – with a Russian delegation.
He claims North Korean officials gave the Russians mathematical calculations showing that the intercontinental ballistic missile could reach targets on the US west coast.
It comes just days after a CIA official revealed that Kim Jong-un’s regime could launch a new missile or carry out another nuclear test next week.
Morozov told the Russian state-run news agency RIA Novosti: “They are preparing for a new test of a longer-range missile.
“They even gave us mathematical calculations that they believe prove that their missile can hit the western coast of the United States.”
President Trump has obviously found himself in a rather tough spot. On one hand, he knows past U.S. moves against North Korea have failed miserably and that the nation is openly threatening the country with a nuclear attack while on the other he has to balance this fear with not starting a conflict that could possibly end up becoming World War Three.
Regardless, each and every day it seems as if we get closer to some sort of actual confrontation with North Korea – at this point it seems to only be a question of when rather than if.

Just keep rocket man looking over his shoulder and sweating and wondering what the US is going to do. They might just crack for a change. Doesn’t cost anything to jerk his chain. He knows we can erase his country away. Keep him on his heels.
As commander-in-chief Trump does have the authority to shoot down a missile if Porky launches one. Not sure what will happen afterwards. I’d still rather see China or Russia handle this but I’m not holding my breath. I think Porky is going to force Trump’s hand.
I say Total Bullshit. Yeah just like Saddam Hussein had WMD’s. This perpetual war scam to fleece US Tax payers is draining our ecomomy all to enrich the NeoCons and their MICM- Military Industrial Complex Mafia. Trump is a fool who is being played by the CIA and all their fake intel propaganda. America is leaderless and run by psychopaths. Will this needless constant costly War BS ever end?? Every Nation on the planet has a right to defend itself from asshole nations attackig it. The US government of thugs is the Provocateur with tens of thousands of US Troops lined up on the S. Korean border for 7 decades poking and prodding N Korea into needless conflicts. How many Nations have been destroyed by the US in the last 60 years all for our Fascist US Corporations Global Monopolies? Dozens. And how many Nations has N Korea destroyed or attacked. Answer is ZERO.
While Trump plays Checkers with North Korea. The Chumps that attacked NYC on 9-11, and who the Bush crime Family cozied up to, are now doing this below with Russia, read the article below. I would say it is the perfect time to release the 28 redacted pages of the 911 report and start filing massive Trillion dollar law suits against the Saudi’s fortunes.
Russia Signs $3 Billion Arms Deal With Saudi Arabia
10-06-2017 • http://news.antiwar.com, by Jason Ditz
Russia and Saudi Arabia haven’t always been on the best of terms, with the Saudis long in the US sphere of influence. In what Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called a “real turning point,” however, Saudi King Salman has visited Russia, and come out with a $3 billion arms deal.
The $3 billion arms deal includes the purchase of S-400 Russian air defense systems, following Turkey’s own recent purchase of the system. These acquisitions represent a growing interest among US allies in buying Russian military tech.
This probably isn’t going to sit well with the Trump Administration, which has been trying to secure massive amounts of arms sales within the Middle East. Having to compete with Russia in future sales will likely be unwelcome news.

Well, there’s always South Korea to consider.
In case you are historically challenged, North Korea started the whole war thing and South Korea was almost destroyed losing something like two thirds of its unprepared military before the UN condemned it and Truman reluctantly sent American forces to aid them (along with the UN authorizing forces from 15 other nations).
North Korea started the conflict and North Korea continues to propagate it.
Hey dumb ass, if hussein did not have wmd’s, how did he use them on the Kurds??
Yes sir. It sucks. Why get stressed about it? Nothing we can do.
All of us are going along for the ride. Nothing but spectators once again.
JIV – Only it doesn’t work that way with psychopaths, like Rocket Man for one.
Psychopaths don’t get scared or angry, they get even.
They are impulsive and at the same time lack impulse control. And they don’t have a conscience. So, there’s that too. They are not at all hardwired like normal people and therefore cannot be approached as if they are normal people who are power-hungry control-freaks with serious anger issues. It’s a thousand times worse than that.
If Trump isn’t removed from the WH soon we’re all dead. It’s just a matter of time. Preps won’t do any good at that point. No, that doesn’t mean I think she is better. She is not. But the fact that she is worse, doesn’t mean Trump is qualified to handle what he apparently is screwing up.
At this point Trump has proved to me that he is not on our side, and he is not capable of keeping us safe.
Anyone who thinks this will end well (for US) is badly mistaken!
The END DAYS start in North Korea…!!!
I agree, however we cant sit idle while kim ‘rocketman’ arms terrorists
kev, Yes but Trump has also been taunting Kim the Rocket Man. Rule #1: Never taunt and antagonize a psychopath.
Psychopaths do not have a conscience, so anything goes. I disagree with Trump agitating Kim Jong Un. I think it’s a poor strategy and a real bad idea that will end badly. But then Trump wants to be known as a War President. Too bad it’s going to be at our expense. Not just that of NK.
The END OF DAYS IN KOREA is the end of the Fat Kid’s Regime. That’s all. China and Russia will sit it out. They have no skin in the game to protect NK, because the alternative is a nuclear armed Japan and South Korea.
Kim is a liability to EVERYONE and he will join the ash heap of history alongside of his father and grandfather. 🙂
Yeah, somethings need to be done. but… nuclear war/capability is nuclear war/capability. The little fat ‘un’ has that. And all this rhetoricc is doing is getting us closer and closer to a nuclear exchange. As the saying goes, “close is only good in horseshoes, hand-grenades and atom bomb fights”. What the great orange one needs to understand is that all the dying ahead isn’t some game. Same as the fat-boy needs to grasp. Maybe if the Trumpster had his sons on the line (or not to be gender biased…… his darlin’ girls for that matter) he’d not be so eager to shoot his mouth off and/or start WW3. I may not particularly like the Asian races but they’re human beings with their own lives to lead. I’m no God to determine whose life should go on and whose should end. Unfortunately the US and NK are both being led by men who think that they are for some reason superior to us all. So, ‘bobane’ – I agree with you … “anyone who thinks this will end well…. is badly mistaken”.
USA should get a photo of a cruise missile & on it showing KIMS name on the warhead & taunt KIM.
With phrase ‘go ahead punk make my day’.
Blow it up before it leaves the pad,,
Nail,
If our missile defense works, I would take the
NK missle out.
If it doesn’t work we need to know now! So we can
devise another defense scheme. Use it or lose it.
Our military spends way to much time planing to fight
the last war and not the impending one.
TPTB using their chief enforcer the US has run roughshod since 911. On a stretch Afghanistan might be salable, Iraq a fraud and Libya a travesty as the highest standard of living in Africa has become Somalia. Its no real leap of logic for a nation to desire nuclear weapons, the big stick, to prevent such an action upon themselves. NK had a historic practice of shaking down the world for money, oil and food and the world capitulated. Their attempt at continuing this has escalated to boisterous threats from them that have coincided with their increased nuclear capability; that is anything other than productive.
Its my take that I see a lot of miscalculation from both sides and with it at some point, words becoming actions.
If little rocket man launches a missile toward the USA or that can hit the USA the UISA should shoot it out of the sky. No questions asked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The latest I read is that the anti ballistic missile system is not 100%. There are flaws in most new fielded weapons that get lots of tests and I think cost keeps testing down with this type weapon. The contractors, thieves that they are, will sell anything. Being this is like a doomsday type weapon I can just envision a board room of executives saying, “Well if it doesn’t work as well as we would like the post war environment would not be conducive to a law suit anyway”.
Sarge,
I’m a sarge also or was so, I guess I retain that title,
since I earned it, SSGT.
Agreed! Use our stuff to shoot down the NK missile.
If it doesn’t work now is a good time to find out.
I think we parked a SSGN off the coast of NK. They can carry
“specials”. I don’t think this will spark WW III as it has already
begun( Moslems vs the world) but it will put a dent in Chinese Hegemony.
i agree the real war is with islam, and muslims, they will control the usa by2050, us citizens will be living under shariah law before its over, Im just glad i wont be here to see it. us citizens are too fukn dumb to have a country of their own anyway.
This entire situation is bullshit planned by the deep state. I see why Trump brushed aside the Vegas event with nothing more than a brief fake bowed head appearance there. His mind was set with rapt anticipation on how to begin his own slaughter. He could not give a shit who or how many die in service to the evil demons he serves. He has no regard for one single American outside his family.
A,
You are really stupid if anybody thinks your life has meaning.
When disasters occur those there do the most heroic things imaginable. If they had time to reflect they’d dump people like you.
You run towards the danger, you may die, but you certainly will
lose if you don’t gain some sort of understanding of what is going on. You run away when you have figured it out and it is no win.
You drag the wounded with you.
Bullshit,
And what, you think hillery would be better. Fuck that
Nailbanger… I have not indicated any such thinking about Hillary as you suggest. I have spoke against both sides in every remark without fail.
Well then theres no better option so ????
Yes we had a choice between a stack of turds and a pile of poop. Voting will never solve anything.
I agree.
Aljamo you also probably think that if Rocket Man hits the U.S. with a nuke, that Trump will get us in a war. Trekker Out. How Dare He!!!
Correct Aljamo. Its all total BS. Theatrics and bravado. Only fools believe this crock of propaganda. Even this website plays and profits off contant fear of a boogieman. Know the difference between fact and fiction. Ignarant fools buy into fiction peddling. NK has No capability whatsoever for delivering ICBMs from NK to the shores of the US, or has any Nuclear weapon capability. This is all a fraud. Just look at the gullible suckers commenting here who buy this rocketman BS, hook line and sinker. LMFAO!! Idiots!!
No need to worry about Kim arming terrorists, the USA already has plenty of Nukes.
More bullcrap.
So the Norks show some politician some numbers. It’s a scam. It’s been established that the previous NK missiles were basically hoaxes with lightweight nose cones and no armament so they could go further than they could if they had actual warheads.
Trump is a moron. He has no knowledge whatever of the history of US-NK negotiations or he wouldn’t have said what he did. The US HAD a deal with North Korea back in the 90’s – which THE US RENEGED ON. Which is why NK restarted its nuclear program which HAD BEEN SHUT DOWN.
The North has TWICE offered to shut down its nuclear weapons program if the US would back off and normalize relations.
If the US starts a war with NK, there is a distinct possibility that the US will LOSE. And it will certainly lose if China enters the war. China has explicitly stated that it will not allow regime change in North Korea. They do not want US bases in North Korea on their borders. Russia will likely sit it out, but China will NOT.
You cannot trust nor believe The FAT gay rocket boy at all. They are radical, crazed dogs over there. Got to spank that ass’
Oh no!
Kim is going to bomb the ocean again
2016 newspaper: Investors are waiting to see where Tesla will get an estimated 25,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide per year to build 500,000 electric vehicles per year by 2018. ANSWER: NK
The right thing to do would be to wait for NK to hit us with a nuclear weapon before we respond.
And the right response would be an immediate US surrender.
Why cannot we get to the root of the problem? We all know who and what it is. Attacking symptoms will never address the disease. To make America great again America has to be remade. We need to become that which it was never allowed to be. A Constitutional Republic utilizing a sound currency. Who is the real aggressor here? The USA or North Korea. Who has the last major undeveloped resources of rare earth metals? Who stands in the way of a middle east to Europe pipeline? Where is Libya’s and the Ukraines gold bullion? Who profits from these foreign policy misadventures? Who is attacking sovereignty? We all know the answers but how do we get a voice in these goings on? As long as we are so easily diverted we never will.
Tillerson/Trump is like the good cop/bad cop technique of suspect interrogation. Trump plays the bad cop who has to be calmed down and Tillerson is the good cop who does the restraining. Maybe they are hoping that the North Koreans will make more concessions with Tillerson. I watched a show on North Korea hosted by Lisa Ling on National Geographic. In the book “Alice in Wonderland”, Alice falls down a rabbit hole into an alternate reality. Similarly, in “Wizard of Oz”, Dorothy is transported into another alternate reality (Land of Oz). Compared to life in America, North Korea is such an alternate reality but without any redeeming features. North Korea would not only imprison/shoot Antifa/BLM rioters but all demonstrators as well. You definitely do not want to live there!
The either-or and black-white type of thinking on here is hard to believe; if someone is disappointed in Trump or doesn’t like what Trump is doing then they must like Hitlery or they must think she would have done a better job. Wow. It doesn’t get any stupider. I guess some of the posters on here are dumber and denser than I had originally thought. The either-or people on here, you know who you are = dumb.
Solve the global warming and balance the budget by reducing the US population by 50%. Can we send all the illegals and all those of working age that collect entitlements over to NK first before nuking it? BONUS, also send over to NK those that believe in taxation of legal citizens, and those that believe in obortion and gun confiscation of non-felon naturally born legal taxpaying citizens.
Bert.. They already sent most of the living wage jobs out and brought in scads of illegals for cheaper labor. Reduce the population by sending the invaders back from where they came. Those that believe in taxation of legal citizens would be anyone involved with federal and state government from top to bottom.
Aljamo, those foreigners are exempt from FICA and SS taxes unless and until they become naturalized US citizens. All they do is bleed us taxpayers. They don’t contribute anything. They’ve got it made in the shade with all the special treatment they receive from DC.
In the words of the Dotard, “We’ll see……….”.
If it’s true that N Korea got some missle related technology from the Clinton Administration. It’s obvious we the people are Not important.
No jail time for either clinton. A trail of dead bodies and no one seems to care.
Those that go after them often have a
accident it seems.
Is rocket man & trump secretly friends?

W Clinton gave/sold US missile technology to China not NK….
He should be charged with TREASON for that….
I used to really believe in the country and what it stood for but anymore, not so much. All we are is a form of tax revenue period. They no more care about us than the man in the damn moon. We mean utterly nothing to them. The Gov’t is a joke. Gov’t and politics is nothing but corruption and incompetence.

While the news media and U.S. intelligence community continues to focus on North Korea’s missile capabilities, one expert warned on Sunday that we are ignoring two North Korean satellites currently orbiting the U.S. that could be used to carry out a devastating electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack.
Such a “surprise” attack could paralyze the U.S. electrical grid and critical civilian infrastructure, resulting in the death of large numbers of Americans.
Off topic but who said “lock her up” before and “shes good people” after? Just pointing out the fakery of the entire election debacle passed off as the people making their choice by voting. The overwhelming criminality of Hillary just fades out as yesterdays news. What happened to the election DNC head Wasserman-Schultz info and inquiry of illegal corruption with the Awan brothers from Pakistan? High criminal acts with Hillary the obvious connection. Trump won on the lock her up shtick. Past activity by candidates have no bearing whatsoever as the lies overflow into a mind numbing flood of total deceit where it is impossible to hold anyone accountable. Abject and total Fascism the fully shown reality. So clever, classless and free. News becomes old news quickly.
Most may NOT have read a posting on Steve Quayle’s posting last week
Report: Russian hackers breached NSA, US cyber defense compromised; highly classified info stolen.
Now, for those of you who have read David Wilkerson’s book, The Vision, he wrote that he saw missiles shot at The U.S.A from Both Coasts and The Gulf of Mexico.
He also wrote about a slow, hindered response by our anti-missile defense system, meaning that the computers had been inflected. He spoke in 70’s terms not knowing the proper cyber terms.
Just a observation
Trump cant lock her up…he does not have the authority. Only the AG can issue an indictment. However, if we get into a SHTF scenario, marshal law will likely be imposed….and the administration will become a total dictatorship. Then your going to see indictments for treason, and hopefully the Clintons and hundreds of others will be executed or locked up in Leavenworth.!!!!
Send the lil boy an EMP
