The crisis surrounding North Korea’s rogue nuclear program is reaching a boiling point.
War could break out at any moment.
And one top general delivered a shocking prediction about the outcome.
Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley delivered a speech at the National Press Club in Washington.
He described the threat of North Korea’s nuclear program in dire terms, but made a prediction about what would happen if Kim Jong Un provoked war with the United States.
Milley said America would wipe them out.
Newsweek reports:
The U.S. would “utterly destroy” the North Korean military in a war, the U.S. army’s top uniformed official said on Thursday.
Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley warned, however, that war in the Korean peninsula would be “highly deadly,” bearing a high cost in terms of human life, infrastructure and economic fallout.
“War in the Korean peninsula would be terrible, however a nuclear weapon detonating in Los Angeles would be [even more] terrible,” Milley said in a speech to the National Press Club in Washington, about America’s security threats. “North Korea is the single, most-dangerous threat facing the international community and the U.S. today”
Tensions with Pyongyang have ratcheted up since the communist nation successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
The ICBM stayed in the air for over forty minutes and traveled hundreds of miles.
Experts estimated this weapon is capable of striking targets as far away as Alaska.
The last hurdle North Korea needs to jump is working out how to attach a nuclear warhead to an ICBM.
In his speech, Milley warned that this development means the clock is ticking toward zero hour in dealing with North Korea.
Newsweek also reports:
“Milley warned that, given Pyongyang’s progress with it’s ICBM testing, the time to stop North Korea from obtaining nuclear weapons, a key point in the U.S.’s security strategy, had shortened significantly.
“Time is running out, North Korea is extremely dangerous and it gets more dangerous as time goes by,” he said.
Milley said he did not think there were any good options when considering measures to contain the threat from North Korea.
“Choices will have to be made, one way or the other. None of these choices are particularly palatable, none of them are good. The consequences of doing nothing is not good, the consequences of accepting them with a nuclear weapon that can strike at the United States is not good, the consequences of armed conflict is not good, the consequences of a collapsed North Korea is not good,” he said.
“But it does not relieve us of the responsibility of choice. We are going to have to make conscious decisions that are going to have significant consequences,” he added.”
While Donald Trump is working to peacefully resolve the situation, his team is preparing for all options.
We will keep you up to date on any new developments in this story.
Pull out the US Military personnel from SK. If the fat boy starts something, eradicate NK!!!
Please remember that what stopped the Korean war was an ARMISTICE and not a peace treaty…..
It wasn’t a war. It’s considered a “conflict” and is called that today.
Except F0R US !
Sad fact, but we need to deal with it. My prediction is, by the middle of August a confrontation will ensue, probably started by an accident or miscalculation.
I hope someone takes him out before that
Find out who killed Kim Un’s brother in Indonesia and pay them the bounty!
good idea!!!
Don’t be surprised to read he choked on something and had a heart attack.
can’t wait for that to happen
Or, one of his missiles fails and comes right back home to the chicken coop.
I’m going to Vegas in Sept, what until Oct and have an “accident”.
Find a dollar machine with two winning placards on it, and bet the max for at least twenty-five spins. I am psychic. Send me ten percent of your winnings for this tip.
Time to act is at the Proper time. It is coming to that time. They need to be wiped off the map. Just maybe
Iran will give up their NK program once they see what we will do to North Korea. The USA has taken their SHIT long enough. Shoot the Fat Slob.
As good a President TRUMAN was, he got his HOOF IN MOUTH by dismissing MAC ARTHUR when
he wanted to bomb Manchuria and stop the Chinese “volunteers”,as it would have stopped the war
and set Communist China straight…..
Now, we built China into the biggest world power and we have to face it …..
The other “thing” Truman did on micromanaging the Korean conflict was telling our men to bomb HALF the bridge spanning the Yalloo River. Flat out stupid.
Nuke the SOB!
Hmmm. Nuclear attack by N. Korea would be terrible, but, their taking out Los Angelos? What’s the downside of that? I’m not sure nuking L.A. by N. Korea could even be called an act of war.
Hey, Ken! The problem with nuking LA is it would also affect other counties that have some GOOD and sane people in it, mine included! At least give me some time to move out of this hellhole!
That brought a grin to my old face. Sometimes we in the Heartland don’t stop to realize there are really a lot of good conservative people in rural California. The liberals love to huddle in the urban areas like LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Baltimore, etc. We need to spare all the good guys we can find. The rest, oh well………..
What about the entire US population. Take a look at the links above.
Well,,,”she it” happens!
How about the entire country? Please see above.
If you hurry you can sell in CA for good money and buy a better place in TX for 50% less money. Way nicer neighborhood in places like Frisco, McKinney, Anna, Van Alstyne, West Plano etc. All super nice.
Texas new and improved now with SEASONS. They get actual winter and summer free if you act now!
Texas is where moronic clowns and Demodouches live. ……..oh, and where punks like you live who know NOTHING about California. ……..and, Plano????????????? A freakin DUMP!!!
I’m sorry your momma didn’t give you enough teat. Then you had to live out your life as a conservative internet troll living in California. Short people can still have fulfilling lives just not in CALIFORNIA BAHAHAHA!
Get going. Head east my man.
Please get out while you can. If you aren’t a progressive nitwit you are welcome in Texas. Just don’t bring the lunatics with you.
THE REMOVAL OF LOS ANGELES AND SURROUNDING CALIFONIA WOULD BE A BLESSING ALTHOUGH MANY INNOCENTS WILL PERISH ALONG WITH THE RUBBISH, ILLEGALS AND DEVIANTS
It would take only one to bring America to its knees. See above.
One Nuc on American soil would signal SHTF!
Democrat facilities would become burned out or bombed.
Many Democrat Congressional offices would be shuttered.
MSM would become a carnival of fake news and fake video.
Stocks of firearms and ammunition would be exhausted.
Cities like Chicago would be killing fields, everywhere, all the time.
All food, medicine, waters, sugared drinks, beer etc would get scarce.
Democrat mayors and Democrat Governrs would react the wrong way.
All transportation hubs would be jammed with returning former immigrants.
Traffic to the borders would become insane.
The markets for Equities, Bonds, Derivitatives, Commodity, would crash.
Even if Kim puts his bomb right on the Nevada Proving Grounds, SHTF.
Hey Grumpy Grandpa thanks for the reply, I just don’t know what the acronym “SHTF” stands for so can’t comment back too well. Ha!
IF you’re serious, Wilson, do a simple “Google.” Then maybe you’ll be able to comment.
It means “Ship Hittin’ the Fan”. Replace the “p” with a “t” and you will get it.
Beer would be scarce? Now your getting serious. How can Democrat officials be any dumber? Give stupid Lib college kids something to protest.
More like a thank you.
YOU SPEAK SO CAVALIERLY ABOUT WAR! I was born during the depression after WWI and lived through WWII, Korea and Vietnam. I am a Military Widow and very familiar with the costs of War both in lives , destruction and financial aftermath. War is nothing to joke about and once committed you fight it to the bitter end.
I remember Vietnam, the liberals wouldn’t let us fight to win when we were there. Then they made us leave with our tails between our legs. Also I remember Korea, there was no ending, no peace treaty. Dolly, I think you better read some history.
If I ever see some snotty progressive liberal spit on a military man/woman, like they did to our military men coming home from Vietnam, I think I might be forced to punch someone.
AND REST ASSURED THE ONE HAULED TO JAIL WILL BE YOU, BECAUSE
THAT PIECE OF EXCREMENT WILL BE EXERCISING HIS 1ST AMENDMENT FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION RIGHT….!!!!!!
That sounds about right. Seems wrong is right and right is wrong these days.
Jail me! I welcome it. The publicity for someone defending our military personnel will play well in my state of Missouri. We don’t much go in for that progressive BS in the part of the state I live in. Really, St. Louis is the only part of this state to be considered liberal.
He’ll still get his azz kicked. The cops ‘ll have to drag us off him.
Vetteguy, I think you’re misreading Dolly’s comment. She’s not talking politics. She’s talking about war itself, not rationale for getting into it or how we got out of any of them. And as for your “read some history” comment… you “remember” one, but she’s lived through all of them and doesn’t need a warped history book to consult. And BTW, how many spouses have you lost to war?
How many people lost their spouses when the World Trade Center came down? How many people will loose their spouses if the mad man dictator in North Korea is allowed to used a nuclear weapon on us. Sometimes war is necessary. Sometimes the bleeding heart liberals have to keep their mouths shut and let the military do what they do. That is what happened in Korea and yes I was around then, and Vietnam. When the bleeding hearts saw villages getting bombed they went nuts and just wanted it to end. Remember Vietnam was the first war fought live on the 6:00 News every night. During WWII all they had were newsreels at the movie theaters that were so edited to only show the good stuff. No body wants a war but when it is necessary you have to be ready. You have to do what has to be done.
I’ll say the same to you again and as I just told Traveller… you are misreading Dolly’s intentions. I’m WITH you, as is Dolly.
General MacArthur and Gen Patton had it right”There is no substitute for
The U.S. SAVED many spouses by dropping both bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If you will look up Japanese people and their all-encompassing worship of their god-emperor Hirohito and past god-emperors, you will understand WHY we dropped them. They don’t teach it any more in History class.
I remember that shameful history and how they spit on those vets when they came home. War is Hell and I and you should never take it lightly!
Dolly: you are dealing with many Vietnam vets on this blog. Those who physically fought over there, lived through LBJ’s “bull-chit” and micromanaging OF the war, having sent them rifles and machine guns made of sub-standard materials, expecting them to work when in actuality said materials only made things worse. Unless you’ve physically fought over there against a population that expected us to fight their war FOR them, for which they did not appreciate and did not like us over there to begin with, you don’t have a leg to stand on. You better ask a few Vietnam vets what actually happened over there before spouting off your mouth. I could be more disrespectful, but I’m trying to be nice. War is nothing to spout off about, unless you’ve been there and done that. You better get your Vietnam history straight before someone else rips you a new one.
All of you are misreading Dolly’s intention with her comment. I believe that she, and certainly me, is with you in your anger. We know war is hell and it is not to be taken lightly. And as I’ve stated, she is looking at war not as some political tool to be used at the whim of politicians or liberals, but from the human standpoint of misery and loss, but once into it g-damn it let the military do its job! Don’t take war lightly, but when it becomes necessary DON’T politicize it! Don’t put gloves and restraints on us, get the f**k out of our way and let us do what we have to do.
Tell ;ittle kimmy to aim at Hollywood, since it is the excrementing orifice of America.So no more sh-t comes from there.!!!!!!!
Hey, IDIOT, in your wildest, most treasured dreams YOU WISH YOU COULD LIVE IN LOS ANGELES!!! ……..and, it is obvious that you would just LOOOOOOOOVE to live in Watts!!!!
At one time I would have accepted WWIII to be settled by two A bombs:
One on Moscow and the other on the ROTTEN BIG APPLE…!!!!!!
Better San Francisco.
These confrontations are what the NeoCons , Deep state and Central Bankers cheer for.
Why wait for the next display of their supposed weapon’s capability? That man is nuts. We already know what their lift-off rockets look like and that that nut case with the odd hairdo would like to wipe the United States of America off the map. Give then a warning shot with one of our lesser a-bombs the next time a rocket capable of carrying a load as heavy as even their weakest Atomic bombs–and warn them a finger is already on the “next” button. If you just sit by and do nothing, you, not that little freak will be responsible for Armageddon!
Actually, the one who should be set straight is CHINA, who is the one holding NK’s leash….
How about raising sky high import tariffs of Chinese goods….??????
After all, isn’t Dollar Stores merchandise made at China’s “reeducation camps” from their Army…????
McCain is supposedly a hawk. So ask him to elaborate on what he thinks needs to be done. It is not his decision so just running a poll to find out what others think. Including many sports persons and celebrities should be helpful to T. Also it will be helpful for T to act like a democrat and blame others if his popularity should slips and NK makes a big mistake and attacks us. He can act like a democrat and only want his legacy, his popularity to stay high instead by being PC instead of trying to do what is right for the country.
I say turn NK into a giant lake
Do you have any idea how many Democrat Bizzillionaires are already eyeing all of NK as “assemblers” for their tech gadgets and stuff. Why they could easily make another $100B while the stupid taxpayers “saves” them from starvation.
You want to destroy North Korea. Drop Ovomit and Whoreillary on them. Ovomit would raise their national debt so high they wouldn’t be able to finance nuclear endeavors. And Hillary would sell all their nuclear material material to Russia then they couldn’t build a nuclear bomb. Problem solved. And we would get rid of both of them. I think this is a win win for all.
Yep! Get Hillary or Obama to replace Kim Jong Un as NK President. Problem solved. They would destroy that country, from within, in LESS than 8 years! It has been PROVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Killary dressed in KIm Un Scum’s military uniform, who could tell which is Witch!
Send enough nuclear warheads to N. Korea to totally obliterate it within minutes and then turn around and address these ass hole Arab/Muslim animals and ask one simple question. Which one of you is next?
I like your attitude.
NOW somebody has the right idea!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPOT ON!!!
You get MY vote! Are you in?
I wish. The only problem with that is: One-the prevailing winds, and two-it would get SK as well. SK is our ally in all this mess.
T will be criticized no matter what he says or does. And the polls are the way to really find out who you should vote for so why not just have a poll of the liberals, muslims, singers. opinionators and QBs to find out what a president should do. After all they act like they know everything? It is unfortunate we didn’t have this type of poll in place when O was in office. They, he and HRC, wouldn’t have made the mistake of saying an LA video maker caused the Benghazi massacre and his prodigy birth certificate that was lost, then found would never have been lost by the State of HI?
If NK decides to start things, I would suggest that, militarily, their best start would be to take out Guam and the Hawaiian Islands. This would take away our major military bases in the Pacific, both naval and air, thus limiting or even crippling our ability to fight effectively a war in the Far east. Although attacking LA or Alaska would cause heavy casualties the major effect would be psychologucal.
OK you want NK to take out American military bases in Guam and the Hawaiian Islands in the major military bases in the Pacific both naval and air. It would be limiting or even crippling our ability to fight effectively in a war in the Far east? So you want a war and America to fail? Do you live in America? And I don’t know if you realize that turning against America in the time of war as stated in the Constitution is TREASON! What’s you point exactly?
Pattie, read more carefully. I am not saying I want America to fail, I am only trying to point out that we should be more concerned.about places other than LA or Alaska which would make us more vulnerable.
I would send Rdman over with aone way ticket.
If we have submarines with missile launchers, why can’t we take down their missiles when they are launched and over North Korea while they are testing before they are armed ?
If NK attacks us, the United states must respond with no more force than was used against us..
That’s right the Obummer is gone.
These backwards Asian Hillbilly’s.will be completely destroyed.
Thank god for Donald Trump !
Leaders of the governments of both Korea and Viet Nam have just cause to hate the USGov. They fear an additional attack by USA war-mongers, again under false pretenses. Former CIA station manager of Angola, former marine major, John Stockwell, summarizes the destruction of 3rd world countries by the CIA from 1950 – 1980. https //www youtube com/watch?v=l1_3ayrwkc4
Compared to the leadership of the USA, the leadership of Iran gets a clean bill of health for trying to mind Iran´s own business instead of that of other nations. Except for threats and bribery, such as “the
October Surprise of 1980“, by George HW Bush/CIA/MOSSAD, Iran has not interfered in USA politics. Even in 1980, Iran´s leadership cooperated with Bush, who fraudulently presented himself to be representing the USGov.
You mean in 1980, when Jimmy Carter couldn’t get the job done?. You say that Iran minds it’s own business. What do you call holding Americans hostage for 444 days?
We’ve been waiting and watching North Korea for years, what’s a couple more months or years? We wait and they build more nukes and do some major damage to us. The time to hit them is yesterday, last month! If we continue to simply talk about the problem without addressing the problem, it will be too late for millions of people.
No one below has mentioned that NK also has the technology for building and EMP attack. Our electric power delivery system needs to be protected from terrorism, electromagnetic pulse attack, and natural Disasters. Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) caused by a nuclear explosion high over the United States –REPRESENTS an Imminent danger to the U.S. All it would take is a couple of explosions to send America back to the 1800s.”
Thanks to Jimmy House-builder Carter we outlawed the EMP bomb as it kills to many people and leaves non living things standing. Oh! Carter can rebuild them while he glows in the dark!
Hi Steve,
Thanks for this info. I had no idea that the EMP was outlawed for production in the USA under Carter. I want to know more because I am wondering why, when it would not be too costly (in the overall scheme of things) to protect our electric grids and other machines. Legislation has been “out there” a long time and has gained no tractioneven though the threat has been proved real.
Not enough money in it to pad the senator’s pockets first.
I believe that the reason NK is testing such high altitude ICBM’s is not to attack LA, Hawaii, or even Chicago. It’s to create a high altitude EMP that would knock out much of our power grid, communication equipment, etc., and create total social upheaval throughout the country. Especially worrisome is that we reportedly do not have a system to knock down high altitude ICBM’s. Best chance with the least world wide political aftermath is to take out the crazy fat boy that leads the country. Hope we still have some good snipers or CIA left to do the job after Obama decimated much of our defense capabilities.
Good thing the Islamic Marxist puppet isn’t still president, i can just see that traitor making a decision. Then again, L.A.? Be a shame if the fat little jerk wiped out the southern half of Communist California..
Funny yow so many are worried about their own personal rights to use other peoples money and are not paying attention to what is happening in the world… wake up buttercup…
Read whole article. Long before retirement in 1993, our small group assembled a space borne, all beryllium telescope with a scanning mirror that when integrated, an IR sensor package and computer, could detect, track, discern the exhaust temperature and its speed, and probable zone of targets it could reach. By 1993 laser system demonstrated lock onto and knock-out of missiles and satellites.
. With today’s technology, if that capability has not been integrated into operational systems aboard every ship and a constellation of satellites, then the Bush’s, Clinton’s and Obama’s administration should be charged … for allowing our defenses to deteriorate and allow our citizen to be vulnerable to foreign threat that is reported today.
Prayer remains our best defense. Pray very specifically for what you desire out country to become. It is hard work but look what happened to the last election.
I wouldn’t worry about North Korea or Iraq or Russia taking out anyone. The west now has technology that can stop intercontinental missiles or satellite missiles or submarine missles. The fact is that these countries are now in their final throws and living viability. But don’t take my word.
During the Cold War in the 1950’s General Curtis LeMay of the Strategic Air Command said in a leading Magazine: If the Russians bombed anywhere in the USA, they wouldn’t have a Country to return to. Do we still have the same capabilities?
Trigger happy rogue nation leader with an attitude… not good ju-ju.
A parallel to the Israeli 6-day war comes to mind, but with bigger bombs.
OH yes, nothing would be left of North Korea. For certain, should they lob a missile anywhere in our direction, including South Korea.
But I must say, Kim Jong Un is the MOST GOOFIEST tyrant I have ever seen, next to oBama.
Can’t use Nuclear against NK because of Nuclear agreements with the nations. 3 MOB’s would set them back and make them quit a nuclear program. 1 on Fat boys home and 2 on the mountain entrances. The shock wave would kill anyone underground and close off access. Cruise missiles on his missile launchers and it’s over.
Only problem is they have thousands of missiles on the Southern border, they would need to be taken out at same time. Hard to carpet bomb the whole border. Could try.
You only need to take out the long range missile sites/launchers, after you get our ships out of the range.
John McCain is Looney Tunes. He should go to and join the Democrats.
The block headed little fuck will be the one responsible for whatever must happen.
Farting around with this issue as it has been from time immemorial suggests that what will end up happening
again is probably another Pearl Harbor….!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And what about the one holding their leash, that is, CHINA…?????
NOTHING BUT THANKS FOR ASKING…!!!!!!!!!!
its children I am concerned with. why should they suffer because grow ups are so dangerous.
Re-start the darn draft. Put some millienials in the krap.
War with North Korea means war with China. We may just have to wait till China realizes they don’t want to mess with us either and wakes up or North Korea tries to attack us.
Veterans of this “conflict” should be the judges of what in hell it was, not the rotten politicians….
“CONFLICT” MY ASS…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To Bruce Allen Johnson:
I saw it happening in N.Orleans to a veteran who hit with his cane a piece of shit wearing an American flag sewn to his fly…..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Politicians make the wars then send the military in to clean up their mess however they are determined to tell the Military how to do the job of cleaning as well!
