| Report: North Korea readying nukes |
| 2016-03-03 |
| Temper tantrum that will get people killed en masse? North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered his country's nuclear weapons made ready for use at a moment's notice, the official state news agency reported Friday. Kim also said his country will ready its military so it is prepared to carry out pre-emptive attacks, calling the current situation very precarious, according to KCNA. On Thursday, North Korea fired six short-range projectiles into the sea off its east coast, South Korean officials said, just hours after the U.N. Security Council approved the toughest sanctions on the North in two decades for its recent nuclear test and long-range rocket launch. |

| #8 "Just bomb him back to the stone age." With North Korea, that would take a couple of cherry bombs, 3dc. They're mostly there already. |

| #4 China better reign in their little mad dog before all hell breaks out in the neighborhood. I do not care if Pudgy is bat-sh*t crazy and making empty threats for effect. When you threaten nuclear weapons use, people take you seriously and plan accordingly. It is signing your death warrant. |

| #3 It shall be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from North Korea against any ally of the United States as an attack of North Korea AND China on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory response upon North Korea AND China. THAT should get China's attention |

| #2 They were not ready to launch given the go codes before? Yawn. I just hope that the missile defense guys know how to freeze a (working) baseline. |

| #1 That's alright - America's golfer-in-chief has got everything under control. That Nobel peace prize is worth more than any missile shield, or interceptor capability. Rest easy - we are protected by wise and steady hands. |
