Entire (all 100) US Senate called to White House briefing with Sec of State/Defense, others

a reply to: Iscool

I doubt that China would cut off their cash cow. I'm worried when it comes to silent Russia but can't imagine anyone starting nuclear exchange because even if US alone would get nuked the fallout would be the problem of whole planet. Fallout from destroyed cities would be nothing next to the fallout released from crippled nuclear plants and that would go for years like Fukushima. Then again there's plenty of countries that would remember what Russia or China did for generations to come and it would be even harder during harsh fallout years.
What is worrying is that NK has many merchant vessels. They're often changing names/owners to be harder to track and they might use it. When I saw Gotham Shield I instantly thought about NK nuke going off in NJ's port. Unfortunately radiation from nuclear devices is too hard to track from space and even on the ground one has to aim special instruments in close proximity.

I've been digging for about an hour and can't find anything.

Has anyone ever found another example of the ENTIRE SENATE being called to the White House for a meeting with the President of the United States?

I can't either. What Senator McConnell has requested is unprecedented.

It sure looks that way.

Gee, I wonder if they might be worried about nuclear war on the Korean peninsula?

We should be more worried about a EMP. That would create worse impact than a single nuke.

they not stupid they can tell exactly were the bomb came from so they can not be tricked like that.china is more sophisticated than people think.

Wait so this is related to the power outages?

I don't know. It could be as simple as McConnell wanting to have all Senators brought up-to-speed on what they weren't privy to, while on their 15 day Easter vacation.

True. Very true.

I believe he wants to show them the live nose picking, porn viewing feed from the flea & tick drones in Jongy's inner sanctum as well as the bio data from the recently deployed colon polyp drone. Also to inform them that they've been given the same but with an added Andrew Breitbart tested stinger.

On a serious note he's likely going to completely dominate a given regime in NK, Syria, Iran, Chicago or all at once.

If the whole North Korean thing is authentic (I have my reservations) and a truly organic conflict I suspect it will all be over within a typical Western blue collar lunch break, though perhaps, the highest 1 hour Sea & Air military expenditure in world history. 3 carriers could certainly pull it off. The Chinese & SK's can mop the floor thereafter.

Whatever it is I feel the world will be a very different place at any moment now.

What is bothering me me is;

What might Kim have already in place waiting to be unleashed? And where?

Remember folks Kim Jong is just the latest in a dynastic line that has been ruling, not governing, ruling NK for three generations.

He has almost absolute power, and has been raised to expect nothing but absolute obedience from everyone.

Everyone.

In aspect, Kim's family is more like the Borgia's of old, but they are more dangerous because the Kim's have made it a point to have studied the Borgia's and improve on the ruling model.

The North Korean's have actually kidnapped people in foreign lands, and gotten away with the crime.

They have infiltrated countries and, most recently, committed murder in broad daylight using nerve gas agents.

Do not think for a moment that Jong has not gamed out this confrontation with the West for a long time, and has positioned his assets accordingly.

I for one fear that the term

"Detonate on Detection"

Will become an ugly, and crude, epithet.

a reply to: SBMcGno the un has no say in how we do things also if they did have a problem with our response what could they do in response. i think a wet noodle might have more stopping power than the un.

Trump is an idiot... straight moron..

I got this feeling that we are seeing a repeat of Bush admin claiming Iraq has WMDs.

If Kim Jung really has a nuke and hits South Korea or Japan with it, would the USA get the blame, if we simply left the area right now?

I respectfully disagree. It's much worse.

There's no way the US will leave the Korean Peninsula now. There's way too much at stake.

I hope it won't go nuclear but it appears to be headed that way. If it does, I hope it won't go worldwide.

It's looking more and more like the Lord's return will be soon.

Looks like Lil Kim is going to get some US visitors in the form of bombs.

Looks like the US is gonna get some ricin in the form of fried rice and black bean sauce. ~?

And you would probably be correct.

Still -- I am searching for an historical example of this ever happening before and am coming up short.

Doesn't the Bible say that the next time life on Earth is destroyed, it will be by FIRE? But that war is supposed to begin in the Mideast. Time will tell. Let's live life to it's fullest, while we can.

Thank you for including both links.....which were quite interesting!

I didn't see a reference to land attack cruise missiles in either report. Is this something that NK is capable of?

According to what I read, they do have chemical and bio weapons capability. Even if they don't use nukes, the other weapons will - if used - inflict much damage (to put it mildly).

I will look for your other post. Thank you.

Yes, the DPRK has chem/bio weapons which is why if you have ever visited the underground portions of Seoul (which actually makes up a huge portion of the city) you would know that it's common to see storage lockers spaced about 100 meters apart at easily accessible locations containing gas masks, bio suits, and combat meal rations. Like I said, just because they don't have nuclear tipped ICBM capabilities yes doesn't mean they aren't a formidable adversary. They have usable neuclear weapons, they have bio/chemical weapons. US troops and our allies are in the crosshairs should Pyongyang decide to green light some kind of first strike. It's also safe to assume that at least some of the nuclear arsenal is mobile. What form that takes (eg: truck mounted mobile SCUD like the Soviet R-17?) can only be imagined... SCUD, suitcase bomb, dirty bomb, IND.... none of the options are very pretty. But, the DPRK has all of the above at it's disposal.

Furthermore, lets look at the Stratfor files. The publicly available assessment is not very reassuring: STRATFOR North Korea Assessment

*I responded to this reply directly. I haven't finished catching up with the thread since i parted this afternoon. Forgive me if this doesn't jive with the current conversation*

Hi

I wasn't sure if I should post a new thread about this or just share in NK posts. As you know some North Koreans use cell phones and they can't access internet like us but some of the information they get can be seen. Below.

These are a series of news pieces for this week only published in North Korea.

I was under the impression they May obtain information from blackmailed or threatened JMSDF soldiers. This is only speculation but really an educated guess based on their history with Japan and how they obtain what they want in the past along with some other leads.


Let's hear what you guys and ladies think.
