You’ve got to hand it to Fox News for daring to show us the lighter side of Kim Jong Un. The photo (click on inset to enlarge) is featured this evening at Fox online, and one can only surmise that the Korean dictator and his generals are having great fun, whatever it is they are doing. It’s not difficult to imagine that they have just watched a firing squad turn some some hapless leaker of some trivial state secret — the royal family’s recipe for Limoncello, say — into suet. The news story accompanying the picture concerns the latest missile lobbed by North Korea at Japan. This was not having much effect on Wall Street or index futures Thursday night, traders evidently having conspired not to panic unless a mushroom cloud is seen billowing over Los Angeles. At press time there was no word on any response on Twitter from President Trump, but you can bet he’s not going to take this latest affront to time-honored protocols of statesmanship lying down.
The Lighter Side of Kim Jong Un-Sane

The Ohio-class submarines are armed with twenty-four Trident II D5 ballistic missiles. These weapons have a range of 7,000 miles and are capable of very accurate strikes, which means they can be a first-strike weapon. These twenty-four Trident II ballistic missiles can be fired from underwater. As this missile reenters the atmosphere at speeds of up to Mach 24, it then splits into up to eight independent reentry vehicles each with a separate nuclear warhead. In other words, firing off all 24 missiles which can be launched in less than one minute, would unleash up to 192 nuclear warheads. Just one Ohio-class sub can wipe out twenty-four cities and North Korea is gone. This is a real weapon of the apocalypse.

Yes we all know good old Kim is a bit of a fruit cake leader, but then he’s not the only one is he really? Now just for a second, try to imagine the response if Russian and Cuban armed forces were engaging in massive sea, land and air exercises involving tens of thousands of troops right on the US border, what would the reaction be? Give up your nuclear capabilities? Tell you what, here’s an idea, let’s inflict a little more suffering on all those millions of already suffering common Koreans that haven’t yet starved to death, that’ll fix the problem, no doubt about that, no doubt what so ever, that’ll teach ’em huh.

The way to stop Doughboy there is to simply arrest and detain the people he sends out to buy gifts every year. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it turns out that dear dictator has to shower many people under him with expensive gifts in order to retain his legitimacy (in their eyes). If the gifts stop coming, then they would oust him and quite possibily kill him. So, every year, he sends out selected people with crap tons of money to buy up all these expensive things. Usually, they go to places like Switzerland and Germany. Like shooting fish is a barrel, really.
Third time I have felt obligated to post the opinion of Admiral Rickover, the Father of the Nuclear Navy, upon his retirement:
•Rickover became something of an anti-nuclear activist in his later years. I recall seeing on television Rickover giving a speech to Congress upon his retirement, and saying we didn’t need any more nuclear weapons or submarines and then “I think we are all going to blow ourselves up”. It gave me chills at the time (at the peak of the Cold War) to hear a senior military officer say such a thing.

LOL!
I agree with the Admiral more and more each day!
Have a nice day citizen!
