N Korea Kim Jong Un Told Army We Are Going To War

[JohnyMac]

On January 10, 2024, Kim Jong Un told his military to prepare for war.

North Korea is girding itself for war, and continuing with the current policy of strategic deterrence will put the U.S. and its allies on collision course with the isolated regime in the coming years, experts warn in a new report.

North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un "has made a strategic decision to go to war," according to researchers at 38 North, part of foreign affairs think tank the Stimson Center. In a January 11 report, the North Korea-focused analysis group said the situation on the Korean Peninsula is now more dangerous than it has been at any point since the Korean War. - NewsWeek

Stay tuned...

_IF_ the Norks unleash artillery/border crossing onto Seoul, "simply" pop one or two tactical nukes over the last known location of the little SOB and a few more over key NK logistic nodes.
And as/within the time those fireballs reach 50,00 feet, send prepared communique to any/all wanna-be NK "allies" - "you want some of this?    You wanna go there, really?   Molon Labe".

I like it Felix. Trump would do it but old poopy pants or his puppeteers would not.

On the face of it, conceptually, being the first to detonate a nuclear weapon in anger since WWII seems outrageous.   An irresponsible smashing of the taboo and reliance on strictures such as the MAD doctrine.
Unfortunately, too many hands have and are getting nuclear capability and their horrors _will_ not stay in the genie's bottle forever.
Ultimately, geopolitics run between the guardrails of fear and respect, driven by self-interest.   Nations who depend on aligning their country's business to best, safest effect, steer by following who they perceive as the "strong horse".
Our strength, our hegemony... now in precipitous, engineered decline.   
Would any "limited" use of nuclear weapons automatically precipitate an "all out exchange"?   I don't believe so.
But nothing would say, "horse weakened, but not close to agreeing with rolling over and playing dead" like a bright flash over the head of one, singular tormentor, who pushed their luck too far.

Hmmm.... When it comes to weaponization, especially nuclear weapons, I feel that I have to take the same philosophical position on them that I do as my neighbors having firearms. I really hate the notion that I have to say it's OK for me to have them but it's not OK for my neighbors to have them. I'm well aware that we could kill everybody on the planet if everybody fired their nukes at each other at the same time, but I would be a hypocrite if I took the position that I'm better or more responsible than my neighbors, therefore, I get to choose who gets them and who doesn't. If I took that position, I would then be equal to the Liberal anti-gunners who think they are better or more worthy than me to own weapons. I can tell you this..... I've lived a long time and have seen a lot of things happen. I have to take the position that Teddy Roosevelt took about, "Walk softly and carry a big stick". That means walk away from a fight if you can but if you have to fight then quickly and brutally remove the enemy from the planet. When we fiddled and farted around in the Viet Nam war, I said, "We need to wipe them out or walk away". We played a losing game of "Got you last" for years and years when we could have ended it in 1 week. Do I think that the US will be directly attacked? Nope. I think that we will get sucked into a world war when one of our weak allies gets attacked. It won't make any difference. We will be in it up to our necks whether we like it or not. In the next World War, you can bet we will be fighting on our own soil. Our Major cities will be the targets long before the Rural areas have to deal with it. My Father was in WW2, and he said that the worst thing he saw was thousands of people digging through garbage just to find a bite or two of something to eat. Now, that's not to say that seeing his fellow soldiers getting shot and blown up wasn't devastating. It certainly was. He told me that a German 88mm artillery shell landed right on top of his battle buddy 50 feet away and there was nothing left of him and even my father took some shrapnel from the blast. The day he died, he still had a small piece of shell fragment in his shoulder, and you could feel it if you ran your hand across it. I sure as Hell don't want to have to fight, but if I have to, I'll force myself to be ruthless about it.

The fat kid in NK is just spewing the same shit he always does whenever NK gets into a bind. They have been been having a severe food shortage, so how do you distract your population? Start talking about war. All to get more hand outs from those NK targets.
On the other hand, you have some nato countries warning civilians about war on the doorstep. This tells me that they are the ones wanting a war.
Scary times.

Norway was talking about preparing for war with Russia recently.

Britain is now doing it. 

Sure indicates we all over here need to do something about it soon and well.

With all this goings on, I am getting rather concerned.  Enough talking leads to actions.

14#s of Navajo/"Butcher's Blood" corn shelled from cobs yesterday and laid into storage - can be ground into delicious corn flour, will be testing feed store corn for sprouting to catch seed's conversion of starch into sugars for mashing and... yes.
Stuffing 12 #s of canned butter into "root cellar", trading places with pumpkin set for roasting to use in experiment with "Colonial" beer recipe.
Garden's cabbage fermented for 4 months also in jars/storage, one of them now in crock pot with home grown potatoes and some local elk meat for tonight's supper...   
What's all that have to do with Kim Jong Un, you ask?
Well, part of the answer lies at Texas border with John Roberts and his sidekick Amy.
Or should we look at Kari Lake recording the (now former) head of Arizona Republican Party, his sound-recorded, blatant attempt to remove her from play by offering a bribe.
Swedes and Norwegians prepping their citizens for the idea of a shooting war?
The sentencing of Peter Navarro to _4 months_ in jail while Ray Epps is walking free?
God knows how many organized terror groups now across the open border?... on and on and on.

We are already AT war, and only an increasingly fragile veneer of "normalcy" enables the herd to pretend otherwise.    Lot's of folks hear gunshots here in America.    Even here, out in a National Forest, the amount of people coming out of town (+/- 70k population) to burn ammo is noticeably increased.   Some think it mete to unload clips as fast as they can, some more measured and _some_ out there in the dark and obviously working with NODs/Thermal.

My prediction?   When (not if) all Hell breaks loose, most of us will _still_ be caught by surprise, experience that moment of "Shocking realization".
But whereas some will take many hours, perhaps days to appreciate the "change in their future"... _we_ will quickly regain our usual composure and go about the businesses we've long anticipated and prepared for.

Seems like every country is prepping for war except us, we are pretty much instigating it by arming ukraine, not supporting Israel as much as we should, not fighting back against all the iranian BS going on and the list goes on
