U.S. warns it will deploy ‘strategic assets’ to South Korea if Pyongyang conducts nuke test

World Hal Turner 18 August 2022 Hits: 14809

Faced with the growing prospect of a fresh nuclear test by Pyongyang, Washington has said it will consider deploying to the Korean Peninsula strategic assets — which could mean anything from nuclear-powered submarines, strategic bombers or even tactical nuclear weapons — should that come to fruition.

The U.S. warning, which is part of a joint deterrence strategy by Washington and Seoul, follows a two-day session held this week of the Korea-U.S. Integrated Defense Dialogue (KIDD).

“The two sides affirmed that, should the DPRK (North Korea) conduct a nuclear test, the ROK (South Korea) and the U.S. will engage in a strong and firm bilateral response, to include options to deploy U.S. strategic assets to the region,” said the Pentagon and South Korea’s Defense Ministry in a joint statement issued Wednesday, the same day Pyongyang launched two cruise missiles into the Yellow Sea.

The statement is in line with remarks made a week earlier by South Korean Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup, who warned that the allies would unleash a "high-intensity" response in the event of a nuclear test to demonstrate that Pyongyng’s use of such weapons would be "futile."

"In case of a strategic provocation, we plan to mobilize not only South Korean military capabilities but also U.S. strategic assets," the minister said at the time.

I see the House Committee voted 23 dems NO
to 17 Repubs Yes......to investigate Hunter Biden.
He is once again saved as the House says he has done nothing worth investigating. The corrupt system is covering, once again, for the corrupt White House Occupants family.

Assets? Like a billion dollars a month? Those kind of assets? I’m sure Kim and his lousy ass dongfengs or what ever they are called would love to see us at his doorstep. Yep better send S.K. A plane load of cash instead.

South Korea is a strong anti-communist Christian country and a major ally of the US. Japan had no military until recently.

South Korea , Japan & Twain are vital to security & economic needs of The United States , Many idiots on the this site have no idea of the strategic importance of these countries.

Is there any connection between Holocaust II when 2/3 of the Jews die, Zech.13:8-9, and the Jews killing Christ and all the Prophets, 1Thes.2:15?

Or, why were Martin Luther and John Calvin among the greatest anti-Semites of all time?

+4 # Luther. — Doug Brown 2022-08-18 16:38

Luther did not start out as an antisemite.
Hardly, only after a lifetime of endless
witnessing did he give up. Granted his last
works were harsh, but he was not that way
initially.
I compare it to trying to talk to WOKE people.
They hear you but don't hear you.
Luther found the German Jews intolerable.
He talked himself blue in the face, explaining
very carefully, from the Old Testament, how Jesus
was the Jewish messiah. They didn't listen
It was this that turned Luther against the Jews,
not anything else. You should read what the German
Jews said about Jesus! Scandalous.
I understand how Luther felt.

-1 # Calvin — Doug Brown 2022-08-18 17:13

Calvin, on the other hand, was a 27 year
old genius. Like Bach or Beethoven, he was a
protégé anomaly. Right from the get
go Calvin faced the absolute stubborn
Interagency of the Jews.
Calvin was a genius. He wrote the Institutes
In his 20's. And he, like Luther attempted
persuading the Jews.
Neithor were anti semite in the way we
Define antisemitism. No. They were called
Antisemite because of their reaction to the Jews not listening.
Calvin's commentary on First and
Second Samuel is brilliant. Calvin was very
pragmatic, very pinpoint, very precise. He
Was and is one of the finest writers I know .
Is the best commentatu
To accuse these warriors of the faith of
Antisemitism just isn't factual. It isn't looking
At history properly.

# Doug You Are Too Kind — Dolph 2022-08-18 17:49

The Catholic Church until the so-called Holocaust was the main critic of the Jews, anti-Semitism was universal. Not until the Jews got control of our MSM after WW II did the general population get brain washed about the so-called Holocaust. Ford and Lindbergh understood, so did the Prince of Wales. The almighty press tells people what to think. 77 years of MSM and Hollywood propaganda.

BTW, you can understand the facts and still love your neighbor, it's a commandment.

Calvin's main problem was that he
was French. He wrote in French,
thought in french. Pity.
The frogs have always been trouble.

+2 # Trump's Home & Peter Strzok Connection — Dolph 2022-08-18 14:40

It bears remembering that top socialist Democrat Party lawmaker Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer openly threatened President Trump for defending the American people against their corrupt intelligence agencies with the statement: “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you...So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this”—a threat quickly followed by the entire American intelligence establishment unleashing an army of “Trump Destroyers” to bring President Trump down—the main one being CIA operative Peter Strzok, who still to this day is said to have been an FBI official, but whose true facts about reveal: “There is no evidence that Peter Strzok ever worked or served in any FBI field office...Nor is there any evidence that Strzok attended the FBI academy in Quantico, Virginia...There is no evidence Strzok ever graduated from Quantico...Strzok’s history shows that he left the Army and was immediately assigned to the White House to personally work for President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton”—and are facts known by President Trump, whose home was raided to seize the documents he had proving the truth about CIA operative Peter Strzok.

Luther was an expert on the Jews. What is particularly upsetting is the Jews of this world have had 2,000 years to examine the facts. The fact is, the main thing that holds them all together is their hatred for Jesus Christ, their Messiah and God, the exact definition for an antichrist, 1 John 4:2-3. This can't please God.

So restful for the heart and soul.

I may be wrong

But I find rest and relief immersed in

The US will be forced to go nuclear early when you count the numbers of Chinese soldiers and consider that Canada and Mexico will be cooperating with our enemies. How many Chinese and Mexicans are already in our country? It's a perfect nightmare!!!!!!

North Korea has tested 6 nuclear warheads in actual detonations. They have been increasing in size with each detonation. The last one, #6, was estimated between 70 and 280 kt.

It won't be long before NK crosses the threshold to a fusion bomb. They shared technology with Pakistan and Iran.

Estimates are Iran is about 6 weeks away from having a nuclear detonator ready and their enrichment level is now at around 90%.
