Defense Secretary James Mattis warned Monday that the US Army needs to “stand ready” for put into action its various options for attacking North Korea, saying “neither you nor I can say” what the future holds, and that it’s purely up to President Trump.
Mattis presented the preparations to attack North Korea as necessary because of “continued provocations” by Pyongyang, despite North Korea not having said much of anything in recent weeks, other than being concerned that Trump has declared war during the many, many times he’s talked about destroying North Korea.
While Trump has largely been driving the North Korea war hysteria for months on end, he’s been virtually the sole instigator of such talks lately, condemning diplomacy on a near-daily basis,and insisting that “only one thing will work” against them, ominously threatening to show us all what that is “pretty soon.”
Repeated threats to “totally destroy” North Korea have been among his most favored talking points on any subject since the UN General Assembly. Mattis’ talk of keeping the Army ready to carry out that threat only adds to concern that the US could start a massive war at any moment.
China and Russia that both share borders with N.K will not allow any new US aggression against it and has clearly said so, they would actually defend it. This is not so much against N.K which US wouldn’t dare to invade anyway, but all to do with the US fascist regime’s containment policy against Russia and China.
Tensions will be used as an excuse to sneak in military infrastructure for that purpose.
You are misinformed. China and Russia have absolutely no intention whatsoever to wage war against The United States of America over Little Rocket Man.
No your wrong. China has stated that if NK is attacked in a unprovoked way. China will defend NK.
Sad-Dog Mattis: State-sponsored terrorist, war-monger & war-criminal.
Not to worry. Remember the difference between rhetoric and reality.
You don’t need the Army to totally destroy N.K.
Like they haven’t been working on these “plans” daily since about 1953 or so.
There are also some 200,000 American citizens living in South Korea along with 25,000 US troops and their families. They never seem to get mentioned in this ongoing disaster.
Not to mention the 51 M South Koreans and 25 M North Koreans that also belong to the human race.
Mere collateral damage to Trump and the Republicans.
Does he really think that the fabulous US army, the best fighting force the world has ever known, can “defend” the USA against a real attack???
If they had 6 months warning, maybe, and only if they get to shoot first,
Red meat for Trump’s war loving and jingoistic supporters.
