What are they going to do?

Jump up and down and shake their fists?

Shut up and dance

"U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said on Tuesday there would be a strong and clear response from...the world if North Korea were to conduct a nuclear test."

So this assistant mouthpiece and, by association, the U.S., now speaks for the 'world'? What intolerable ARROGANCE from the 'World's' foremost contaminator of our world with radioactive byproducts of Nuclear testing. And Bukhan, at least, has the decency to do them underground. One can only hope that Big Bro China asks quietly, "What exactly do YOU mean by 'strong and clear response'?" in a "speak softly but" diplomatic voice. It's like the U.S. leadership is looking forward with intent to the killing of at least a billion Human beings and doing everything possible to incite that event. Possibly the insanity we see being acted out daily by the people is coming directly from the pathological Corporate leadership and major stockholders pulling the strings of our puppet politicians. Their GREED for absolute power and control seems to be blinding them to THEIR fate should they finally pull the plug on the ever more fragile American sanity.

"...with experts saying..."

'Experts say...' 'Some say...' 'People say...' When these phrases appear, it's almost certain that what follows is a LIE.

"Pyongyang has so far refused any help offered by Washington and Seoul, even as the World Health Organization says the COVID-19 situation there is getting worse."

Apparently the Bukhan saram have read Homer and understand the phrase "Greeks bearing gifts..."

They are not insane. At least not completely. They are acting on the inexorable tendency of capitalist economy. Trotsky said the choice would inevitably come down to the working class, the creator of all wealth, taking power into its own hands or open barbarism.

Open barbarism is upon us.

For most of the post-war period, the US kept tactical nuclear weapons at several sites in South Korea - until 1991. Then, as the USSR had collapsed and nK had yet to explode a nuclear weapon, US President Bush 1 decided to remove them all. Given nK intransigence and continued nuclear threats, and increased belligerence by China and Russia, it's time to re-look that decision.

Nothing would threaten Kim and Xi more than having US tactical nuclear missiles and aircraft-delivered munitions mere minutes from their cities. From a purely military perspective, they wouldn't add much - US Trident nuclear subs with 20 missiles, each having 5 warheads, are well within range of both countries. But the psychological impact would be immense.

It would checkmate both countries - and be seen as a clear loss for both Kim and Xi.

Let Kim and Xi know - either publicly or under the table, if there's another nK nuclear test, the US will open discussions with the new sK conservative government on returning tactical nukes to US bases.

When I was in high school back in the 1990s, I remember France did some nuclear bombing tests in the Pacific... To me, this is nothing new. Many countries do this, but NKor and China should not do it.

Everybody knows the US has air superior over NK

Wrong. The Korean War has never ended, only a cease-fore truce (Armistice) has been in existence since 1953.

"United Nations Command (UNC) was established on July 7, 1950 following the United Nations' recognition of North Korean aggression against South Korea. UNC signifies the world’s first attempt at collective security under the United Nations system. United Nations Security Council Resolutions 83 and 84 provided the international legal authority for member states to restore peace on the Korean Peninsula, and they designated the United States as the leader of the unified command we know as UN Command. During the Korean War and the reconstruction period following the signing of the Armistice Agreement, twenty-two countries contributed either combat forces or medical assistance to support South Korea under the United Nations flag."

North Korea will test an underground nuclear device very soon as response!

16 Korean jets and 4 US jets.

Korea:US ratio was 8:2 for fighter jets, 7:1 for missiles.

This showdown is coming in at a bad time for Korea, due to the heavy demands of Korean weapons in Europe at the moment.

The K2 has beaten Leopard 2A7 in both Polish and Norwegian contests. The Poles have agreed to buy 180 units delivered ASAP and are currently drawing up a contract. Norwegians are currently negotiating a final price for its 100 units. That's a total of 280 K2 tanks that Korea has to build for Europe ahead of its own forces.

Likewise Poland is asking about the earliest availability of 48 FA-50 attack jets, which would force Koreans to deliver Polish orders before its own orders as the ROKAF was planning to order 60 more units to replace aging F-5s at an accelerated pace.

China's military spending has risen steadily over the past decade:

Kim might start the fire,but he will not be around to put it out
