NoKo can dish it out but they can't take it

They launch intermediate-range missiles going against UN resolutions, they call Americans 'bastards' and rub our noses into a Fourth of July intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch.

We fly a few planes over our ally, South Korea, and North Korea goes crazy. They said our show of force to meet their show of force is a "reckless military provocation."

It's like the abusive husband who blames his wife for the beating he just gave her. It's like, "Don't make me come over there, America."

North Korean state media, like CNN, sharply criticized the United States on Sunday. In CNN's case, it's everything the President does even before he gets out of bed. In North Korea's case, it's our military.

Pyongyang didn't like our practice bombing sortie on the Korean peninsula. A commentary in the ruling party's Rodong Sinmun newspaper (the paper whose slogan is: "All the news we want to print) accused the U.S. of "reckless military provocations" after two USAF B-1B bombers dropped a load of inert bombs in a Saturday training session in South Korea, the country that isn't North Korea.

The comments, made in English by the state Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), said the recent drill increased the threat of a nuclear war.

But that's like Kim Jong Un calling the kettle fat because the U.S./South Korea drill came just days after the North launched the ICBM, and with its capability of hitting Alaska, 'Homey don't play that.'

The two B-1B Lancer bombers flew from Anderson AFB in Guam and joined up with South Korean fighter jets--about a 2,000 journey. During the flight to South Korea, the bombers were joined by Japanese fighters. The mission took about 10 hours.

The Air Force called the mission a "demonstration of the ironclad U.S. commitment to our allies."

"North Korea's actions are a threat to our allies, partners and homeland," Gen. Terrence O'Shaughnessy, Pacific Air Forces commander said. "Let me be clear, if called upon, we are trained, equipped and ready to unleash the full lethal capability of our allied air forces."

And if that doesn't have Kim Jong Un having a fresh pair of skivvies delivered to his palace, it simply means he's too stupid to understand our superior power.

The U.S. will also be conducting a flight test of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) in Kodiak, Alaska this month. 

THAAD has proven to be 100 percent effective in taking out short- and intermediate-range missiles during target approach.

US to test THAAD, an anti-missile missile system

Now that North Korea has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching Alaska and possibly Hawaii, our defense missile system has become significantly more significant. 

We planned our Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile tests months ago. It's a system designed to intercept and blow up short-, medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles in their final approach to target. They used to be called 'anti-missile-missiles.'

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) said the THAAD test against a missile target would be conducted at the Pacific Spaceport Complex Alaska in Kodiak, Alaska.

THAAD "will detect, track and engage a target with a THAAD interceptor" rocket in "early July," the MDA wrote.

Lockheed Martin, the main contractor for THAAD said it has the capability to intercept incoming missiles both inside and outside the earth's atmosphere. Hopefully, they're not simply bragging.

The US began sending THAAD to South Korea, drawing criticism from China. They claim the deployment would further destabilize the Korean peninsula and that the system's powerful radar can probe into Chinese territory and see what sneaky stuff they're up to.

Just days ago, Moscow and Beijing called for the immediate halting of the THAAD deployment in South Korea. In other words, they would like to see us not provide any protection of our 28,500 Americans and South Koreans from a North Korea strike should Kim Jong Un wake up on the wrong side of the bed. 

The Russian-Chinese joint statement claimed Washington was using North Korea as a pretext  to expand its military infrastructure in Asia.

They say this as China continues to build and militarize islands in the South China Sea and Russia teams up with Iran.

US THAAD systems were tested in 2006 and were 100 percent successful after 13 test flights. Maybe 13 is our lucky number after all.

US: all options are on the table with N. Korea

United Nations -- The United States made it clear that "all options are on the table" when it comes to dealing with the rogue nation of North Korea and their tubby leader Kim Jong Un, and dismissed China's suggestion that there be a "dual suspension" of U.S. and South Korea military drills and Pyongyang's missile and nuclear tests.

As if Kim is going to stop missile tests if we stop military exercises.

"We are not dealing with a rational person," U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said of Kim Jong Un, when the UN Security Council discussed North Korea's launch of four ballistic missiles on Monday. 

"It is an unbelievable, irresponsible arrogance that we are seeing coming out of Kim Jong Un at this time," she added.

Haley explained that the Trump administration was reassessing how it would handle Pyongyang and that "all options were on the table."

"We are making those decisions now and we will act accordingly," she said.

Corpulent Kim's military had four missiles fired into the sea off Japan's coast where they landed less than 200 miles from their shores. He claimed it was in response to the annual U.S.-South Korea military drills, but the north sees it as a preparation for war.

The communist dictatorship has fired dozens of missiles to the glee of chubby Kim and conducted two of its five nuclear tests in the past year in clear defiance of the impotent UN and their empty resolutions.

On Wednesday, North Korea's Foreign Ministry sent a statement to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warning that it would "reduce the bases of aggression and provocation to ashes with its invincible Hwasong rockets tipped with nuclear warheads and reliably defend the security of the country and its people's happiness in case the U.S. and the South Korean puppet forces fire even a single bullet at the territory of the DPRK."

Wang Yi the Chinese foreign minister said that the tests by the North and drills in the South were causing tension to increase like two "accelerating trains coming toward each other." That's when he suggested a dual suspension. 

But if the U.S.-South Korea alliance is a train, North Korea is a Prius. 

"We have to see some sort of positive action taken by North Korea before we can ever take them seriously," Haley said when questioned about Beijing's proposal, adding that the drills are held annually for 40 years and North Korea was always notified.

The Security Council strongly condemned North Korea's missile launches and expressed concern over their "increasingly destabilizing behavior," which should scare the crap out of them and get them to stop. After all, they've been under sanctions since 2006 over their banned nuclear and missile programs.

French U.N. Ambassador Francois Delattre said his country is also working on proposing new EU "restrictive measures" on North Korea, but did not give details.

On Tuesday, the U.S. began deploying the first elements of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system to South Korea, which China opposes because they do not want South Korea to have the capability to defend itself from the fat lunatic up north.

China fires back at Mattis about E. China Sea islands

Beijing -- A Chinese spokesman claims  the U.S. is compromising the stability of the East Asia region. This comes after Secretary of State James Mattis' remarks about our commitment to defend Japanese territory including the island group that China is claiming it owns.

Lu Kang, spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Saturday that the U.S. should not discuss the issue, as he made the standard "tic-a-lock" sign of zipping his lips to show us he means business.

China is claiming sovereignty over the very small uninhabited islands, known in Japanese as the Senkaku and in Chinese as Diaoyu. In English, we just call them Little Frick and Frack.

The U.S.-Japan treaty of 1960 is "a product of the Cold War, which should not impair China's territorial sovereignty and legitimate rights," Lu said in a statement on the ministry's website.

"We urge the U.S. side to take a responsible attitude, stop making wrong remarks on the issue involving the Diaoyu islands' sovereignty, and avoid make the issue more complicated and bringing instability to the regional situation," said the 'Kangster.'

Secretary of Defense Mattis, on his first Asian trip, spoke in Tokyo saying the Trump administration will stick to the previous U.S. stance that the U.S.-Japan security treaty applies to defending Japan's continued administration of the Senkaku islands (aka Little Frick and Frack).

The islands were under U.S. administration after WWII but returned to Japan in 1972. China cites historical evidence for its claim to the islands, and when Japan moved to nationalize several of them in 2012, China went ballistic--figuratively speaking. 

It set off anti-Japanese riots in China and they dispatched ships and aircraft to the area around them as a challenge to Japanese control.

The nation that brought us wonton soup and General Tso's Chicken registered its displeasure with Mattis' remarks he made Friday in South Korea in which he said the Trump administration is committed to carrying through on a deal reached by the Obama administration with Seoul last year. 

The deal is to deploy a high-end U.S. missile defense system known as the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) to South Korea this year. It would be used to defend South Korea and Japan against a North Korean missile attack.

With the lunatic leader 'Kim of the North' playing war games with missiles as if he got them from "the App Store," you cannot blame them for wanting to protect themselves.

China doesn't like THAAD because it would allow us to spy deep into northeastern China with the powerful radar system it uses. This would give us the ability to observe Chinese military movements and the secret ingredient to lobster cantonese.

On Friday, Lu Kang said China's "resolute opposition to the deployment . . . remains unchanged and will not change," adding that it "will jeopardize security and the strategic interests of regional countries, including China, and undermine the strategic balance in the region."

Chinese officials and academics anticipate more turbulence with the Trump administration after the president spoke with the president of Taiwan, the self-governing island democracy that China thinks they own.

President Trump raised concerns over China's military buildup in the South China Sea, and accused the of currency manipulation and unfair trade policies. He also alleged that Beijing wasn't doing enough to pressure North Korea into cutting out the crap with their ballistic missile tests.
