Saruman failed at his attempt.

 

Yes I have accomplished more at the Shire than anyone and big things are coming to the Shire, huge things.  I know what they are and they are big and coming soon.  First we have to do their health care, the feet problems are bigly.

U.S. May Not Be Able to Shoot Down North Korean Missiles, Say Experts

[arch stanton]

I turned down a job offer to work as a missile maintenance tech because I didn't think they were properly compensating me for living in Delta Junction, Alaska. My money says we stop a pretty large percentage of anything fired our way

could this be one of those articles that is put out there by a biased media to try and create more distrust in our POTUS/military?

Eh, I've been in tighter holes. Was actually selected for Minuteman II then along came SALT

I read a book called Missile Rats. The author produces mostly crap novels on Nook but that book was a good read.

Kid decides to join the Air Force and get into the ICBM Missile program and even though he aces his exams he is not liked and gets dumped into an lower admin job at an aged out Nike base in Germany. Missile Rats is the nickname for guys that want to work on the missiles .

All his training and he gets no closer than 500 yards from the Silo. The camp is dusfunctional in so many ways from the top down and one guys loses his mind and decided he is going to launch a Nuke. He knows the safety procedures won't allow the missile to arm or ignite the primary but his plan is to blow up the second stage inside the Silo, causing a chain reaction with the other silos, basically destroying the camp and making it a nuclear waste dump.

Not sure how close to real the situation could play out on one of the outdated silos from the cold war but it was a good, quick read. Like MASH goes nuclear.

I had a terrible nightmare last night.  Geraldo was being bullied and Toby Keith was singing to bombs dropping.  Thank God I woke up. 

[fan_since79]

from the UK Daily Mail:

Kim Jong-un has threatened the US with a 'super-mighty preemptive strike' and warned America: 'Don't mess with us'.

State controlled media claimed North Korea could 'immediately wipe out the US mainland' and reduce its enemies 'to ashes'.

The latest threat from Pyongyang comes amid mounting tensions between North Korea and America and after China moved 150,000 troops to its border with the secretive state.

This morning it emerged that Vladimir Putin is also reinforcing his border with North Korea by relocating troops and equipment.

So stupid.  Stop the saber rattling and fix this crap.  Honestly can't China just put a bullet in the midget's head and take care of this?

i'm still left wondering what has happened in the last month that has caused the rhetoric to increase so dramatically. no one was bombed, no hostages were taken, no shots have been fired, we didn't make any provocative threats - just all of a sudden the little man in the north has acted and spoken like we're about to jump in with both feet. 

it seems that this is not going to be resolved through anything other than who blinks first. where's the attempt at some kind of diplomacy here?

[red321]

Hmmm...what has changed in the last 100 or so days....

 

 

 

This isn't to put the actual blame on orange julius caeser...more so North Korea seeing how far they can push. Historically they've done this every 6 months to a year.

I'm baffled this hasn't happened yet under the guise of a coup

If you are going to covertly support a coup of a nuclear armed neighbor, you better be damn sure whomever you assign to complete it can do so. How could you possibly get that assurance when the leadership is utterly paranoid and the entire population rigidly controlled?

[red321]

I think China is well aware...you break it, you buy it...especially since it is your neighbor and they have nuclear weapons. The potential humanitarian crisis, and not just North Korea, but South Korea as well...is massive.

[AngelsLongBall]

I think China could overtly support a coup and everyone would be happy

Unless the coup fails and Shenyang becomes a glowing pile of rubble.

You want to talk about bizzarro world.  Japan is preparing for an influx of refugees.

How is a Chinese supported coup going to fail? They'll keep playing whack a mole until someone sticks
