    I find it almost amusing that the sub docked at Pusan. That my friends is a display. If it was unseen (as in submerged) off the Nork coast then that is being in the batter's box. We're rattling sabers too. If nothing else fat-boy will get the message loud and clear that, as Firefly said, people are sick of his shit.

    Korean Peninsula news and discussion

    I always figured a preemptive strike would be too politically risky considering all the dependents and civilian DoD in Seoul

    Edit I'm hoping anyway

    Best quote I read today, from CINCPAC, said we want to bring fat boy "to his senses, not to his knees." Great quote.

    And yeah, we actually have to prove our subs are there by having them dock and have a photo op, otherwise they'd never know lol....

    I think that's a mistake. You can only warn a person so many times before it becomes ineffective. I think we passed that point years ago. Time to bite the bullet and at least interdict their infrastructure or something.

    About this time in 2016 we were at Defcon 3, currently we are holding at 4.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    So apparently, the Senate briefing at the White House didn't accomplish much nor divulge much information to Senators. The meeting was at the request of Mitch McConnell.

    They only got to see the briefing if they sat through a presentation about buying a Condo at Trump property.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.
