North Korea keeps tensions simmering
North Korea kept tensions around its borders simmering Thursday, reviving the alarming but improbable threat of a nuclear attack against the United States and continuing to put pressure on a joint industrial complex where hundreds of South Koreans work.
Pyongyang's latest salvo of ominous rhetoric, warning that "the moment of explosion is approaching fast," came soon after the United States had announced it was sending ballistic missile defenses to Guam, a Western Pacific territory that's home to U.S. naval and air bases. North Korea has cited those bases among possible targets for missile attacks.

Are we not just egging them on by our *announcing* the delivery of ballistic weapons to SK?
Kim Jong Un versus Barack Hussein Obama. What an historical comedy. This is like the bewigged and stockinged Louis XVIII slapping Millard Fillmore. What pathetic characters we have in leadership roles. It's a shame that they have nuclear weapons.
JFK & FDR Would roll over in they're graves at the way the US is handling this and on top of it all the guys Dennis Rodmans Buddy WOW talk about a strange situation the Media keeps saying who's in charge in N.K. ? It's " Dennis Rodman " and the jokes on us! 🙂
Catch that little boy. Make a pyon egg roll out of him. Then,
FRY IM!
So far, US response has been very responsible, very measured. I don't know why China is so worried about "Backing NK into a corner." No ultimatums have been issued. US and SK are playing it cool. As for deploying weapons, that's just good safe policy.
Bombo I totally agree. It is like darned of you do and darned if you don't. I would feel much better knowing that our troops are ready and our "resources" are pre positioned, just in case. Sadly I really think that NK will have to strike first, resulting in loss of life, etc.. But, IF they do then what "stop gap" measures are in place to keep it limited?
Very responsible??
Military exercises right at North's doorstep, sanctions, our continued military presence. B22s , warships. Hardly coducive to a rational scenario.
And yet if the United States did nothing at all, there would be complaints about that, too.
"Oh, BO is a failed leader". "Oh, he doesn't have the courage to stand up to NK."
"Oh, this...oh, that..."
The POTUS cannot win by these standards. This is ridiculous.
Its not just China that is worried about provocation, its the general consensus.
The possibility of an inadvertent war is now all time high because of 'provocation'.
Who's doing the provocating, saywhat? Who continues to be the aggressor? Who continues to poke the giant? The giant will wake up. Are we not to answer when someone threatens, no matter how small you consider that threat to be? What is your answer to NK?
We DONT need nor WANT another war!
The aggression comes from North Korea. The USA does not have to whimper, "oh, please, don't hit me."
Writers in this forum who often criticise USA actions on other continents may think that my nation should punish itself by becoming weak and scared. I support a strong USA, not a weak one.
JIF: RIGHT ON! IF we are weak, and do nothing, then the rest of these two bit countries and their worthless leaders will try us!
BREAKING NEWS-dit dit dit-–dit dit dit-–dit dit dit--BREAKING NEWS
We interrupt your regular scheduled commenting to bring you the latest in on our wires.
In a further escalstion of the rhetoric coming out of North Korea, Kim Sung Un, also reffered to as Glorious Successor, has vowed to place his entire miliary on a diet of Kimchi and Makgeolli as an efficient weapon in any close quarter fighting. The breath that results from these items can make air freshener refuse to come out of its can.
As a defense to these new threats, the US has ordered all military personnel to keep their gas masks on hand at all times.
We now return to your whatever,
you kno i am agreement with that great jewish high priest, caiaphas whom advised his leaders; while under the influence of the holy spirit, "that it is better that one man die than permit a whole nation to perish...if his threats are credible...he should not be permitted to see it fulfilled...
