Question. Why is the US sending its sea based X-band radar closer to the Korean coast if the threat isn't real?
Question. The N. Korean missiles MIGHT be able to reach the West Coast but the volleys of missiles fired to defeat them from our Aegis cruisers would surely destroy them, right?
Fact. The N. Korean's launched an unknown payload into space last December.
Fact. A nuclear device that is exploded over Nebraska would have the capability to knock out all electrical devices in the US. It would cost 1 to 2 trillion dollars to get the grid online and take upwards of 10 years for full recovery.
I won't dive into this. Its way outside my lane. But some required reading...

One thing is certain. The US military has acted extremely aggressively and its getting only casual attention.
Consider. A B-2 flight. A flotilla of warships. A large X-band radar on the move. F-22's repositioned.
And that's what we can see. We don't know what the S. Koreans are doing, we don't know what the war load is on those ships and we don't know what SOCOM is doing.
We might be looking at a modern day "Cuba Missile Crisis" but our news media is just missing it.

Is US nuke force under higher alert now? I don't think so. A B-2 flyby, a pair of F-22s show of force, plus a purely defensive radar movement. Does that kind of reaction matching a full naval blockage? Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
ReplyDeleteread the history of the crisis. it didn't involve the US raising its nuclear level until the closing stages. as it is the Soviet Union never declared war. the N. Koreans have said that the truce is over. you might not want to be blind to the obvious.
DeleteThe Object the NorKs have in orbit could very well be an EMP bomb.
ReplyDeleteIs that getting ahead of our selves?
NK put a pile of cow crap into orbit last year. No, seriously. Remember Dennis Green's famous quote after his Cardinals got their a@@ whopped by the visiting Bears? "The bears are who we thought they were!" Well, The North Koreans are are who we thought they were. LOL. let's not crown their a@@
ReplyDeleteLOL Yup, as was done during the run up to WW2 when we thought the Japanese didn't have the gumption to go. Recall Pearl Harbor?
ReplyDeleteWhat rule of combat is "Never underestimate your enemy" again?
