1. Oops. Little too much sand in the concrete, eh? That’s what happens when socialists build stuff. Despite what they tell you, ideology does not increase bearing strength.
   Bummer that 200 guys working on nuclear weapons for a mad dictator got killed. Would have been nice if it could have been more, like ALL of them.

2. Play with fire carelessly. Get burned. Simple math. This incident should be heeded as a warning to put the brakes but probably will be spun as heroic sacrifice given in the face of Imperial tyrants. Life in DPRK is so cheap that even major disasters (and this is one) can be easily glossed over by Dear Leader’s totalitarian machinery.

3. I wonder if China will set in? This could put them in danger if their is any leakage of radiation.

4. china AND Russian stand to become glow sticks. These fools have, along with the last 3 presidents, enabled this, and now it is biting them on the ass.
   The A$$holes at the UN are going to piss themselves and stand back while real men do the heavy lifting. The world has become a socialist plantation were every “leader” is nothing but yapping fool. And that is why the ISIS terrorists appealed to many, they actually did stuff, rather than bark about what needs to be done. And that is why Trump scares them, he’ll do stuff to fix the problem.

5. The only good news for the North Korean people and the World would be hearing Little Kimmie got tied to one of his rockets and went boom off the face of the earth.

6. Any news of an “accident” coming out of the hermit kingdom should be taken from the point of view that the event was far worse than reported and that the cause is not due to some accident.
   It’s very possible the little psychopath had the victims executed to maintain control of what could very likely be the dying days of his regime.
   But that’s just a theory based on the behaviour of dictators past.

7. Meanwhile…

   Tensions in the Middle East are about to go nuclear.
   Saudi Arabia will begin extracting uranium and build its own nuclear power program, Saudi officials announced Monday, a development that could lead to nuclear weapons and heightened regional discord.

8. MY President has already maneuvered … CHY-nyaaaH … into an adversarial relationship with the Norks … and THIS catastrophe will only deepen their disgust. WINNING!!
   PS … bragging about the ABILITY to grab pussy IS NOT the same as; slipping a cigar into the love tunnel, assaulting vulnerable actresses, or laying naked on a 14yo boy … And bragging about the USA’s ABILITY to completely annilihate North Korea IS NOT the same as activating “the football” stupid leftist HATERS …

9. Hey, ‘your president’ is working with the Russians…imagine that 🙂

   SEND IN THE BOMBERS! Russia AND the US send nuclear bombers to North Korea as tensions with Kim Jong-un soar
   The US sent a nuclear-capable B-2 stealth bomber from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri on a long-range mission to the Pacific this weekend
   And the Russian Defence Ministry today announced that US and Japanese jets escorted Russia’s missile-carrying Tupolev-95MS strategic bombers during flights over the Sea of Japan and the Pacific.
   A spokesman said: “Two strategic bombers Tupolev-95MS of Russia’s Aerospace Force have carried out routine flights over international waters of the Sea of Japan and the western part of the Pacific Ocean.

10. You say that like its a bad thing …
    Getting Russia’s cooperation, and letting the Norks understand in no uncertain terms that they are isolated pariahs in the world … ? Huh ? You have an odd idea of what international diplomacy should look like. Because without the threat of total annihilation … there is NO foundation for diplomacy

11. If Kim continues his foolishness, these 200 will be counted as the lucky.

12. You say that like its a bad thing …
    Well, it is, considering it’s a portion of the negative part of God’s Plan coming to pass…people are going into Babylon (meaning confusion) whether they like it or not.
    NK isn’t really a threat, they can’t even build a proper tunnel…just being used to build confederacies as in Daniel 7.

13. ok.
    so, here it is, a choice.
    you get to live in and never leave and totally comply with the norms and laws and common sense in one of the following countries:
    russia
    nork
    chirer
    cooba
    iran
    somalia
    syria
    fcuktardistan
    US of A
    Im waiting . . . . . . . we’re all waiting . . . . . . . .

14. You left out one…the One World Order…
    “Hey, I’m a nationalist and a globalist,” Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday. “I’m both.”
    “And I’m the only one who makes the decision, believe me,” Trump said.

15. thanks strad, when Unme is not here, you pick up the slack!!!

16. This is what happens when you kill the guy (and his family) who could build stuff.
    Stradivarious, North Korea is very much a threat. Live in Hokkaido or two hours from the DMZ and your mind with change.

    A long way from North America…

    Chinese warplanes have been rehearsing an attack on Guam, giving the US reason to worry about “the way things are going” in the Pacific theater.
    People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLA-AF) H-6 strategic bombers have been “practicing attacks on Guam,” a US territory, while conducting “not infrequent” flybys near Hawaii, US defense officials told Defense News on Tuesday.

19. Yes, let other people worry about something that will soon be your problem.

20. The big question: Was Kim Basketball-jones in the tunnel at the time?

21. Sorry I don’t have a link to this, but it was sent to me in full text. Interesting nonetheless.
    How to Neutralize the North Korea Threat
    By Ronald Kessler
    Washington Times July 10, 2017
    Whenever we hear about viable options for stopping North Korea’s nuclear ambitions, the answer is always the same: There are none. Any military strike against that country would result in retaliation against South Korea, we are told.
    But what has gone largely unnoticed in the media is that there are viable alternatives to waiting passively until North Korea has the capability of wiping out millions of Americans with nuclear weapons. The first is the U.S. Air Force’s development of missiles that zap electronics with high-power microwaves (HPM).
    That capability, which is entirely different from cyberwarfare designed to confuse computers, has been advancing secretly ever since the Air Force successfully tested use of a missile equipped with HPM in 2012.
    Called the Counter-Electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP), the missile was built by Boeing’s Phantom Works for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at a cost of $38 million. The Boeing missile emits high power microwaves that fry computer chips so that no electronic devices targeted by the missile can operate.
    On Oct. 16, 2012, the CHAMP missile flew over a two-story building on the Utah Test and Firing Range. The building in the west Utah desert was crammed with computers and security and surveillance systems. The microwaves took down the compound’s entire spectrum of electronic systems, including video cameras set up to film the test, without damaging anything else.
    “We hit every target we wanted to,” Boeing’s CHAMP Program Manager Keith Colman said in a company press release. “Today we made science fiction into science fact.”
    Until the announcement of the successful test, the project had been top secret. When it was announced, only a few trade publications ran the story, and since then, beyond a few mentions, the media have ignored the story. Instead, they have focused on how impossible it is to deal with the North Korea threat.
    The beauty of the HPM missile is that its microwave beam can penetrate bunkers where facilities are hidden without harming humans inside. Even if a bunker is buried inside a mountain, HPM penetrates the facilities through its connections to power cables, communication lines and antennas. Thus, HPM can penetrate any underground military facility and fry its electronics.
    While North Korea may attempt to shield its equipment, U.S. officials doubt that would be effective against CHAMP.
    Most amazing of all, the missile renders inoperable any radar that might detect it as it flies to and from a target. Thus, a country cannot take out CHAMP before it strikes and has no way of knowing why its facilities have suddenly gone dead.
    Besides underground bunkers, HPM can quickly disable fighter planes, tanks, ships and missile systems. And it can wipe out facilities for developing and testing nuclear weapons.
    Unlike an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) created by detonating a nuclear weapon in the atmosphere, because it is targeted, HPM leaves intact civilian facilities needed to sustain life. Unlike any other existing system like cyber-attacks, CHAMP permanently destroys electronic equipment.
    America’s national laboratories operated by the Department of Energy have been working on these capabilities for decades. Equally impressive, one of those laboratories, Sandia National Laboratories, has been developing robots the size of insects that could assassinate the North Korean leader with deadly toxins.
    These robotic weapons using nanotechnology employed in surgical operations in hospitals are being developed secretly with funding by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
    While President Ford banned assassinations with an executive order, that order was based on the assumption that other world leaders are rational and would refrain from trying to assassinate our president unless we tried to assassinate them. But we are dealing today with terrorist organizations and world leaders who are not rational and do not care if they are killed.
    President Trump could reverse Ford’s obsolete executive order with the stroke of a pen. With robotlike weapons using nanotechnology, the CIA could wipe out Kim Jong-un without risking American lives.
    They may sound like science fiction, but no doubt Mr. Trump has both HPM and robotic weapons in mind when he says he is contemplating “pretty severe things” to counter the North Korean threat.
    While President Obama preached “strategic patience” in dealing with North Korea, Mr. Trump has made it clear he will not stand by while the North Korean leader threatens our survival.
