North Korea warned that a nuclear war “may break out any moment” as the U.S. and South Korea began one of the largest joint naval drills off both the east and west coasts of the peninsula.
Kim In Ryong, North Korea’s deputy ambassador to the United Nations, said on Monday that his nation had become a “full-fledged nuclear power which possesses the delivery means of various ranges” and warned that “the entire U.S. mainland is within our firing range.” He also called North Korea “a responsible nuclear state.”
“As long as one does not take part in the U.S. military actions against the DPRK, we have no intention to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against any other country,” Kim said, referring to his country’s formal name.
The comments are similar to other warnings North Korea has made over the past few months as tensions have increased with President Donald Trump’s administration. Kim Jong Un’s regime has repeatedly said it needs the capability to strike the U.S. with a nuclear weapon in order to deter an American attack.
So now there are two megalomaniacs with itchy fingers just waiting for a reason to start World War III.
And our only hope is that cooler heads will intervene before either of them decides that their manhood is being questioned and slaughters thousands, if not millions of people, to prove that their dick is the biggest.
Billions would die and suffer.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot.
ReplyDelete75 hours clean and counting, I quit smoking predawn Sunday after 45 years. And already those sneaky, internal conversations, known to everyone whose been through the effort, are asking me, 'what could be semi-catastrophic enough to make you just off the wagon...?'
Treat your good efforts as a prayer for peace.
DeleteResist and stay strong.
DeleteGood! Those who are stilling smoking risk a 90% chance of getting macular degeneration, my husband's ophthalmologist told him, so he quit on the spot after 40+ years.
DeleteIf that isn't an incentive, I don't know what is. Save your eyes, smokers!
It is never too late: in 3 months your lungs will be pink again. :D
If the Syrian people can fight for their human rights and country so can the North Koreans. Throw the bum out!! Rebuild your country for future and peace.

Why oh why must we have war? Can't we negotiate peace? I mean a war means a point of no return. Of coarse it was Einstien who supposedly said, every 20 years man must war. But even so, I think if people put their egos in their back pockets and did some serious thinking about the consequences of nuclear war, it would not be an option. It is also said that only a cockroach would survive such a nuclear contamination of our earth.

Delete'239 Years
The U.S. Has Been At War 222 Out of 239 Years. This morning, I discovered an interesting statistic, America Has Been At War 93% of the Time – 222 Out of 239 Years – Since 1776, i.e. the U.S. has only been at peace for less than 20 years total since its birth.

This fucker can’t act like a human being even when comforting a soldier’s widow. How the fuck can you screw that up??? And all the time complaining about how unpatriotic protesting NFL players are. I hate to break it to you, Mr President, but making this widow cry is as unpatriotic as it gets, you SOB!
