A modern day Cuba Missile Crisis?


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.
