President Trump has given stern warnings to the government of
North Korea, after threats of missile strikes against the island nation
of Guam. President Trump spoke of fire and fury that would befall the dictatorship if they, for some reason didn’t find
common sense in their immediate future. Apparently, that wasn't enough to
stop North Korea in dead its tracks stating it would weigh all options at this
time regarding a missile strike on Guam. The regime has been more vocal than
usual lately, and it apparently is starting to wear thin on President Trump’s
‘patience. The rogue state has continually made idle threats against the United
States and her interests. This year alone North Korea has conducted 11 missile
tests, with varying degrees of success, and last month testing an
intercontinental ballistic missile said to have the capability of hitting the
United States But the potential danger
doesn't stop there, Sitting 34, 30 km. From North Korea is the island of Guam,
home to about 7000 the United States
military personnel definitely in harm’s
way if the dictatorship decides on a missile strike on the area. Guam has been a U.S, territory since the
Spanish American war. And is home to Anderson Air Force Base complete with an
arsenal of b-52 bombers capable of hitting whatever they want. Sitting not so comfortable just 1,043 km. From North Korea is
Japan, which is a close American ally and trade partner. It is said that the
North Korean Musudan Ballistic missile could pose a serious threat to both
South Korea as well as Japan, That is, If the missile even works, which according to numerous experts on the
North Korean military, is speculative at best.
Another missile the North Korean military keeps parading
around is the KN-08 ICBM, If this thing is successful in firing off, it could
pose a serious threat to the U.S. mainland and beyond, How far beyond is
anyone’s guess since it’s never been successfully fired. Another North Korean
threat closer to home are the 2 satellites the rogue state has in orbit
squarely aimed at the U.S. If at any point, Say after a pre-emptive strike or
even a counter strike at North Korea, The satellites can unleash a powerful EMP
or Electro-Magnetic Pulse, Knocking out
everything that runs off electricity, effectively send us back to the Stone Age. Given the seriousness of this
potential threat, these satellites should be blown out of the sky today, not
tomorrow. So what’s next? North Korea admittedly is a wildcard at best, and while
it's is true the dictatorship acted in its own best interest this time, The
same may not be true in a week, or a
month or even a year from now. Given the fact that North Korea is run by a
maniacal sycophant who gets pleasure from inflicting pain on his own people,
This is who the President has to deal with. The United States and her interests
must be kept safe from tyranny and those who mean to do us harm. Difficult
decisions must be made regarding this issue. It is a fine line the president
must walk. Regardless of your politics, regardless of your opinion towards
Donald Trump, Do support the office and the job he must do on a daily basis
because the end, We are all Americans regardless of your politics, we must come
together as a nation against all threats that would do us harm.
