Strike on North Korea - Page 41

"He was convinced that the threat of war would fade as the U.S. came to accept North Korea’s nuclear power as a fact of life.
“We now have all these nuclear weapons to defend us. I believe in a few days there will be news that will mean that the U.S. will not attack us"

Wise words representing a different viewpoint.

And I was about to write BREAKING

Because the title on a Danish news papers FB-page was breaking

and with the text "The United States sends bombers against North Korea"

When I clicked on the link it wasn't that dramatic as one would expect.

Here is what it was written

"The United States has sent bombers across the international airspace east of North Korea on Saturday to demonstrate their seriousness and strength."

I was like-What have Trump decided to bomb NK, when I read the headlines.

Flying bombers close to DPRK airspace in a time of heightened tensions, I'm sure that there's absolutely no possibilities of mistakes being made whatsoever.

Sure wouldn't want to be a merchant in the Pacific right now...

If launching test missiles in international space is a provocation, what is sending bombers to a border region??

Is this one of those "mom, he did it first!" things?

It is like a little brother "I'm not touching you...does this bother you? I'm not touching you"

Annoying when it is your little brother, scary when it is nations

Some hours ago I heard this in the news

(from my memory and translate)

"North Korea's Foreign Minister at UN: Rockets on American Mainland 'inevitable'

Then I was thinking:

Now what will Trump's twitter say, after this statement from the North Korean Minister ?

Many times over....poor guy.

I was wondering if the U.S. will see a missile go "generally" towards a U.S. State or possession and determine it a threat and shoot it down.

Where will it lead, though?

Came up in a discussion, thought to bring it here.
