BREAKING: Houthis launch 2 ballistic missiles

BREAKING: Millions of Israelis sheltered in place in central Israel Thursday afternoon after the IDF said the Houthis fired 2 ballistic missiles from Yemen. Both were intercepted and no casualties were reported.

Since March 18, the Houthis have attacked Israel 7 times, after the IDF resumed fighting in Gaza.

The IDF is telling residents of Gaza to evacuate before military action expands there. 

Defense Minister Israel Katz, is warning that Israel may expand into Gaza if the hostages are not released. 

Currently there are anti-Hamxs protests in Gaza and while in Knesset, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about the protests, and supported the efforts of the demonstrators, adding that the policies are working. While he spoke, other members of Knesset yelled out at him in apparent opposition. 

Meanwhile, it is believed that 24 hostages of the 59 are still alive, and one of them is an American citizen.

Kim threatens missile launch TONIGHT while Trump visits SoKo

North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un wants to have another testosterone contest with President Trump and send a message by having the biggest ever missile launch tonight.

Trump will be in South Korea today as he tours Asia and meets with President Moon Jae-in. He will be in Seoul, just 35 miles from the DMZ with NoKo and 120 miles from Pyongyang.

Spies believe NoKo will be planning a massive missile launch as a warning to Trump, who will be in the closest physical proximity to the lard laden leader of the hermit nation. 

Missile movements have been detected across North Korea and U.S. and South Korean spy planes have been working diligently to sniff out what Kim is planning.

According to experts, a "battle-ready" launch will be NoKo's next step. Harry Kazianis, director of defense studies at the Center for the National Interest said, "they [the missiles] are going to go over Japan and drop it into the mid-Pacific."

On a happier note, the U.S. has North Korea surrounded by warships, bombers, missiles and 80,000 troops ready to kick butt.

Trump will have the world's biggest military war machine poised at the ready should things go south in the north. 

All three aircraft carrier battle groups of the 7th Fleet will be fully loaded with up to 90 warplanes and choppers. Alongside are their escorts of 14 missile-destroyers and submarines.

Earlier in the week, a squadron of a dozen F-35 fighter jets landed at their new base in Japan.

There are more than 100 bases are scattered across the islands with about 50,000 military personnel stationed there and another 30,000 stationed in South Korea.

If Pyongyang does something stupid, they will pay for it dearly.

Two Rocket Men missing and may have a job to do

Top North Korean officials involved in the ballistic missile program (aka "Rocket Men") were nowhere to be seen at recent NoKo events.

Ri Man-gon is the supervisor of the department dealing with nuclear and missile development. He's the guy who jumps for joy when one of NoKo's rockets get off the launch pad without blowing up and thus having Kim make him dodge anti-aircraft shells.

Kim Rak-gyom is the head of the strategic rocket forces. He tends to perspire whenever he's in the company of his fearless leader, Kim Jong-Un. 

Man-gon jumping

Both Rak-gyom and Man-gon were noticeably missing at the Saturday rally in Pyongyang as well as another celebration on Tuesday for the anniversary of the Worker's Party of Korea , according to Chosun Ilbo a South Korean newspaper.

So what's the big deal, you ask. 

"It's highly likely that they were absent because they'd been given an important assignment," a government-funded organization staff member said. 

The source told Chosun Ilbo that there was "little chance" those guys were removed from their important military positions because they were "praised for [their most recent] achievements [of bringing the Western world closer to total annihilation except for Dennis Rodman]."

The absence of the two leaders was discovered by the release of recent photos of celebrations and rallies. "Usually these two clowns dance around and laugh like idiots, just to please Kim Jong Un so that he doesn't have them killed," my source who goes by the pseudonym Vinny Boombots said.

Some officials say that North Korea might use special holidays to fire one off. Let's hope that it will not be an Iranian holiday. They've carried out previous nuclear tests during Memorial Day Weekend, Lunar New Year celebrations in China and Kim Jong Un's birthday. 

Thankfully, they've given a free pass to Christmas and Chanukah. And the last missile they fired was a Passover Japan.

Little Rocket Man promises 'nuclear clouds' on Japan after eating a burrito

North Korea, that country we've grown to hate, is now threatening to bring "nuclear clouds" to Japan, which was initially thought to mean that dictator Kim Jong Un (aka Little Rocket Man) was planning to release his burrito inspired flatulence upon them. He actually meant nuclear clouds from nuclear weaponry. 

Kim mocked Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for acting like a "headless chicken" at the U.N. General Assembly when he urged the U.N. members to force the rogue nation to end its nuclear and missile programs. 

The hermit nation claimed Japan was escalating tension in the Korean peninsula, and saying their plea to end NoKo's nuclear goal a "suicidal deed" that will end with a nuclear attack to sink the island, which indicates Kim has probably no idea what islands actually are.

The statement read: "Japan's such rackets inciting the tension of the Korean peninsula is a suicidal deed that will bring nuclear clouds to the Japanese archipelago. No one knows when the touch-and-go situation will lead to a nuclear war, but if so, the Japanese archipelago will be engulfed in flames in a moment. This is too self-evident."

After calling Abe a "headless chicken," North Korea said Japan could be "the first victim of nuclear disaster in the world."

North Korea isn't shy about firing missiles over Japan--they've done it twice in the last two months. In September, the missile flew to an altitude of 480 miles and cruised 2,300 miles, which puts Guam in its crosshairs. Afterward, Pyongyang threatened to "sink" Japan and turn the U.S. into "ashes and darkness."

"The four islands of the archipelago should be sunken into the sea by the nuclear bomb of Juche. Japan is no longer needed to exist near us," the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) wrote.

A high ranking government spokesman for Japan called the threat outrageous and provocative.

The North Korean nuclear situation is growing and worsening. This has pushed Abe to seek a public mandate on his tougher diplomatic and defense policies. Abe has dissolved the lower house of parliament and called for a snap election to be held this month.

North Korea's bellicose threats have continued after President Trump promised to "totally destroy" Kim's dictatorship when he spoke at the UNGA. NoKo's foreign minister Ri Yong-ho (no relation to Heidi-ho) called Trump's words a "declaration of war." The White House insisted that they must be smoking something.

Over the weekend, Trump again went after "Little Rocket Man" in a series of presidential tweets after Secretary of State Tillerson said there was "lines of communication" to Pyongyang. The president urged Tillerson to "save [his] energy" adding that he was "wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man."

While this isn't very presidential, it's kind of funny.

Iran "does a CNN" missile launch

Iranian state television released fake video footage Friday claiming they launched a new type of medium-range ballistic missile. The video came just hours after an Iranian military parade displayed the fake in Tehran.

They may have gotten the idea from watching CNN, according to my source, Vinny Boombots. 

There never was a launch and Iran told an Islamic fib.

It turns out, the video was over seven months old of a failed launch in late January. That missile exploded shortly after liftoff, according to U.S. officials.

President Trump initially responded to the reported launch in a Saturday tweet: "Iran just test-fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching Israel. They are also working with North Korea. Not much of an agreement we have!"

"Uh oh"

From this tweet, it's obvious President Trump would do well to have a proof reader and an editor before he hits "Send." But that's just me being a grammar and spelling nazi. 

The 'make believe' launch came after Trump spoke before world leaders at the UN General Assembly. He called the Iran nuclear agreement and 'embarrassment" to the United States [as was Barack Obama].

"We cannot let a murderous regime continue these destabilizing activities while building dangerous missiles, and we cannot abide by an agreement if it provides cover for the eventual construction of a nuclear program," Mr. Trump said.

Trump told reporters afterward that he made up his mind about the nuclear deal but wouldn't say whether he would pull the U.S.A. out of the deal with Iran because he probably has no idea what he's going to do.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also tossed the bull at the UN a day after Trump spoke, and said that Iran's missile program was "solely defensive" in nature.

Brian Williams, the MSNBC host of "The Eleventh Hour with Brian Williams" concurred with Rouhani saying, "I've been there, done that, and Rouhani is a solid guy who would never lie to the American people."

"We never threaten anyone," Rouhani said, not counting Israel in his statement, "but we do not tolerate threats from anyone."

But they like to threaten infidels whenever they have the opportunity and unprovoked by us, have boarded our naval vessels and have taken our sailors captive, so Rouhani can claim what he likes, but he's just "doing a CNN" and nobody here believes him. 

Calling for "Death to America," and "Death to Israel" is an overt threat and Rouhani and his ilk can go to hell.

So after the footage of Iran's launch was aired, they claimed a successful test, but apparently, it was the failed January launch. [Can I get a big LOL.] They were trying to launch its new Khorramshahr medium-range ballistic missile for its maiden run. It flew about 600 miles and blew up into tiny smithereens in a failed test of its reentry vehicle.

Iran's new medium-range missile is a knockoff of a North Korean design--the Pyongyang's BM-25 Musudan ballistic missile. It has a range of 2,500 miles, so it can reach U.S. forces in the Middle East and Israel, if they can get their act together and resolve the missile's problems. [Personally, I believe they should remove the picture of Kim Jong Un from the nosecone.]

"The very first missiles we saw in Iran were simply copies of North Korean missiles," Jeffrey Lewis said. While no relation to the later Jerry Lewis, he is a missile proliferation expert at Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. "Over the years, we've seen photographs of North Korean and Iranian officials in each other's countries, and we've seen all kinds of common hardware."

Last weekend, Iranian General Amir Ali Hajizadeh claimed the missile only had a range of 2,000 kilometers [1,250 miles]. He also claimed that it's easy to pronounce his name.

"The Khoramshahr missile has a range of 2,000 kilometers and can carry multiple warheads," Iran's official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying. Hajizadeh is the Revolutionary Guards aerospace chief.

One U.S. official who declined to be identified because he or she wasn't authorized to leak his or her thoughts, told Vinny Boombots, "I am not sure why the Iranians are lying about the range. I think they don't want to piss the Europeans off."

According to experts, Iran has the largest arsenal of ballistic missiles in the Middle East--over 1,000 short- and medium-range ballistic missiles. Since 2015, they have conducted over 20 missile tests.

So, with North Korea apparently partnering with Iran, the free world needs to watch them both very carefully.

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.
