Luckily we have a Peace Shield of Love Letters protecting us. This happened on Trump's watch.

Boy, Trump again.. He sure lives in your mind.. Almost everyone of your posts relates some how to Trump!

[Vern Humphrey]

I've explained as gently as I can, when you hate someone like that, you give them control of your mind. Trump plays him and the other haters like a cheap harmonica.

much todo about not much?

The previously largest ICBM, the Hwasong-15, was tested in November 2017 and has a predicted range of around 8,000 miles, meaning it could already reach the entire continental United States. The new missile is longer and thicker, meaning it could potentially carry more fuel and/or bigger engines.

and a lot of talk of mockups and not being real or tested yet,,,,

Yes let's tell ourselves it's a Potemkin missle, because it's easier that way.

But we were never supposed to be here. That was the whole point.

no, just wondering (and reading that article, as well as 2 others) how much is show, and how much is go,,,


Norks have a habit apparently of having a May Day type parade to keep themselves in the news, but also have a habit (if you read the articles) of having mockups and non working stuff,


of course , a lot of the tech (if they work) was probably stolen, or from China,


so how many of those tanks broke down?? or did any??

do you think we don't know where those 11x11 monstrosities are parked at any given time?

When I was in the 2nd Infantry Division in Korea, we used to do calculations on the unit-kilometer for North Korea's armored division -- they only had enough fuel to go about 50 kilometers -- if they went by road and didn't have to fight.

I'm a missile guy. Anyone can load a missile looking thing on a truck and call it an ICBM. I want to see it fly and the flight data before I'd call it an ICBM. I have zero intel to base my claim but I believe the North Korean ICBM program is actually funded and run by the CHICOMS.

A bit like saying one shouldn't believe in their nuclear delivery capabilities until they put a mushroom cloud over a US city. That is, focusing on the last steps, not the first ones, is a mistake.

Right on -- there has been zero evidence of them actually launching the prototype of this missile. ICMBs don't spring from the brow of Zeus like Athena -- so when was this one developed?

In the last few years, apparently. If they're getting outside help, it can speed their design cycles enormously.

But the real story is....Trump's DPRK diplomacy has not deterred their nuke and delivery programs, and no one can say that the NK didn't telegraph their moves.

Portland would be a relatively close target--do you think they have the co-ordinates? Put up or shut up, I say.

Well that would knock down any remaining monuments, do a number on the federal building there.

Have the Bishop send them his home address -- I can see him now, standing out in the yard with a catcher's mitt.

None are left, unless there's one for MLK--if so, make it ground zero.
