North Korea ... at the ready
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korean state media said Friday that the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un, had ordered his missile units to be ready to strike the United States and South Korea, which South Korean officials said could signal either preparations for missile tests or just more blustering.
The United States criticized the North Korean threat, which came one day after American forces had carried out an unusual practice bombing exercise with advanced aircraft across South Korea.
“The United States is fully capable of defending itself and our allies,” said Lt. Col. Catherine Wilkinson, a Pentagon spokeswoman in Washington."North Korea’s bellicose rhetoric and threats follow a pattern designed to raise tensions and intimidate others.”
I had, what I thought was a clever telephone call from Obama to Kim John-un, but I couldn't finish it, there is just no humor there, it is, or could be a very serious, dangerous situation. I hope that we do NOT have any reckless fingers on the triggers that could escalate this in to a possible civilization ending situation. There is NO humor, only reason for concern.
