On Friday North Korea renewed what the U.S. has condemned as its “bellicose rhetoric,” saying Kim had ordered the nation’s missile forces to prepare to strike the United States and South Korea.

There you go with that big mouth again. You honestly think I care that someone here disagrees with me?
You’re crazy, glad I got to you though. You seem like one of those kooks that hopes for cataclysm, frothing at the mouth over the idea of people getting raped and murdered in the streets while you’re cozy screaming “I TOLD YOU SO”.
I don’t hope the SHTF, it won’t be good for anyone, and all your prepping won’t matter in the end.
Being that you’ve been discredited on this site, I don’t bother to read your words anymore.
Enjoy.
LOL!
I think you should lay off the meds. Those are for emergencies.
I’d like to refer you to a site that you can spew doom porn and fantasize all about the end of society and people that laughed at you getting raped and murdered.
www.abovetopsecret.com you’ll get a warm welcome, and most people won’t call you out. But if they do, you can label them a troll there too.
