North Korea is run by a madman. That is not in question. He’s not stupid, he’s insane. Kim Jong Un’s brother was murdered, allegedly on Kim’s orders. North Korea has been developing long range missiles at a breakneck speed. They likely got the guidance technology from China, who got it from Clinton donor Loral/Hughes who apparently got the nod to sell the technology to China from Clinton in return for campaign cash. Now, thanks to democrats, North Korea has a missile that is said to be able to reach not just Hawaii, but mainland USA:
Kim Jong-Un boasted of North Korea’s ability to strike any target in the US after a second ICBM test that weapons experts said Saturday could even bring New York into range -– in a potent challenge to President Donald Trump.
China condemned the test but US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Beijing and Moscow bore “unique responsibility” for the growing threat posed by the reclusive North.
Under Kim’s leadership North Korea has accelerated its drive towards a credible nuclear strike capability, in defiance of international condemnation and multiple sets of UN sanctions.
Kim said the test “is meant to send a grave warning to the US” and demonstrated the North’s ability to launch “at any place and time,” the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
The “leader said proudly the test also confirmed all the US mainland is within our striking range,” it said.
North Korea has nuclear capability also thanks to Bill Clinton.
Iran, used to kicking Barack Obama’s ass around, continues to stick a thumb in the eye of Uncle Sam with it’s missile program:
Iran has vowed to press ahead with its missile programme, denouncing new US sanctions as “an effort to weaken the nuclear deal”.
Bahram Ghasemi, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, said on Saturday Tehran considers the US move as “hostile, reprehensible and unacceptable”.
“It’s ultimately an effort to weaken the nuclear deal,” he said, referring to the 2015 agreement between Iran and US-led world powers that lifted some sanctions on Tehran in return for curbs on its nuclear programme.
“We will continue with full power our missile programme,” he said. “The military and missile fields […] are our domestic policies and others have no right to intervene or comment on them.”
Iranian state TV reported on Saturday that the country’s parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy held an urgent meeting to review its response to a package of sanctions approved by the US Senate.
“It is imperative that we show an appropriate reaction in light of such hostile and vicious actions taken by the United States,” Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s deputy minister and senior Iranian negotiator, told reporters.
Iran’s missile tests are in violation of United Nation dictates:
In a joint statement, Britain, France, Germany and the US condemned Tehran’s “destabilising” action, saying the test violated UN Security Council Resolution 2231 that endorsed the nuclear deal.
“We call on Iran not to conduct any further ballistic missile launches and related activities,” they said.
Resolution 2231 called on Iran not to test ballistic missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, and an arms embargo has remained in place.
That cagey Obama did not link his deal with Iran to any UN Resolutions, so Iran’s nuclear-delivery system program does not violate the Obama agreement. The Obama-Iran deal always stunk, and it’s failing now.
These two boats are sailing into dangerous waters- seriously dangerous. So now is the time to ask Schumer and Pelosi-
“What would you do with North Korea and Iran?”
They always know what the President should do- always. Now I want to know what they would do.
Right now.
