Those Belicose NORKs

"Here is what the NORKs fail to realize. Even though we have President Bystander in charge right now, the wheels have been put in place long ago. Our allies have not been left defenseless." 

They are an odd lot they are. These North Koreans. They remind me of the James Dean movie, Rebel without a Cause. Why do I say that? Because they have no reason to rebel against anything. They would be welcomed into the community of nations if they just acted like grown ups. But when you keep threatening to beat the crap out of all the kids in the neighborhood, you will be shunned. And they are.

In the past couple of days, the NORKs made a surprise development. After some failures, they were able to get a rocket up to 600 miles. That got Japan's attention. This now shows the NORKs have a delivery system to deliver something bad and ugly to the neighborhood. 

Here is what the NORKs fail to realize. Even though we have President Bystander in charge right now, the wheels have been put in place long ago. Our allies have not been left defenseless. If a launch happened and was aimed at Japan, Japan has AEGIS ships in their self defense forces. The South Koreans have the Patriot missile system plus other things. AND (this is a big one), we have treaty obligations. An attack against any one of our friends in the WESTPAC will be considered an attack against us. I don't need to go into detail what the retaliatory response from us would look like.

One more thing which might bear repeating. It has been a commonly known fact for years the NORKs would love to send us back to the stone ages by delivering a EMP burst over the country. Two things. First, we have known about this threat for a long time and have been preparing for it. That being said, there is always a possibility a EMP launched bomb might do damage. Second. Our forces have equipment which is EMP certified. How do I know? I worked on some of it. Our forces would survive that attack and rain down holy hell on the NORKs. There would be nothing left of North Korea but glass.

It should not have to come to this. Like I said, most nations want to welcome the NORKs in - not exterminate them. But exterminate them we will, if they stay on their current course. It will lead to a conclusion they will not win at. In fact, they will lose everything. Nobody wants that conclusion - especially not us. 

We will never start this war - if it comes to that. But we will end it. Take that to the bank.
