President Trump spoke to Air Force personnel against the backdrop of a nuclear-capable B-2 stealth bomber He warned North Korea that 'nothing inspires more confidence in our friends, or strikes more fear in the hearts of our enemies, than the sight of American war planes on the horizon' Kim Jong-Un test-launched his latest missile on Friday, launching it a long enough distance to hit the U.S. territory of Guam Trump said the U.S. could mount an 'overwhelming' military response if provoked 'When our enemies hear the F-35's engines, when they're roaring overhead, their souls will tremble and they will know the day of reckoning has arrived,' he said

;)...Amazing didn’t know he had a private jet. I know he has a private jetty with a huge yacht, high end cars too. Nice mansion on NK. Seen pics of it.
How about we blow those up like the Israelis did to arafats helicopter? Who maintains his private jet? I bet they eat well too?
Yes,they're certainly one of the nations under threat
Japan should act.
One could certainly argue that they have the right to act but even if they have the ability I doubt they'd do so.Why,you ask...well,consider that their military is called the "Self Defense Force".
“If,by chance,we have the ability to shoot these missiles down why haven’t we done so...at least once.”
We have the capability which is limited by the number of interceptors we have. I worked on an advance sensor program. Our sensors are capable of detecting, tracking and most importantly, the information they gather is used to steer the interceptor so that our interceptors are able to destroy a limited number of intercontinental ballistic missile threats.
We don’t wast interceptors on non-threats.
All that, and he makes everyone walk around bundled up against the cold, outdoors or not. If I had to I could eat tree bark. But not COLD tree bark.
Oh common. Did you forget Michael Dukakis in the tank? He was trying to project a strong image. OK, never mind.
The Defense Department used to be called the War Department. I miss the old days when spades were spades.
Nice catch. That is pretty strange
If you're correct regarding our capabilities (which I'm willing to accept as accurate) then it seems to me that shooting down *one* would send the Norks a very strong message.That message would be even stronger if we were to let it slip that two of our boomers were parked 100 miles of their coast as we shot their missile down.
Whats with the stupid hats Chubbys generals wear?
Looks like you could flip them over and use as a handy wok!
Japan is the only active threat. The Threat to the USA is passive and perhaps bluster.
The missiles over flew Japan. therefore a purely defensive military act would include shooting them down. It can be argued that Japan was actually attacked but that the attacking mssiles were faulty and missed.
Under treaty, if asked by Japan, America is obligated to shoot them down. If South Korea concurs, it can happen
Or a bedpan.
Watched this afternoon. He sure doesn’t like Tom Cruise.
It’s too bad those are AFP/Getty images at the link. Really a nice pic. (and powerful message)
Yes, agreed. We are well past talk and Trump looks weak to keep talking. Action is required.
;) Yep not cold tree bark for sure! Yet some tree bark has pitch in it...could use that to make a fire, then cook the dead person next to you..../s?
Thats it! Porta-potty headgear!
“Japan is the threatened nation. Japan should act.”
Since WW2 Japan has not, per their constitution, been allowed an offensive military force. A great relief to their neighbors.
For some time they did not have a coast guard, the US took care of even that.
They now have a military that is small and defence oriented.
It would take an amendment to the Japanese constitution to build an offense oriented military.
Knowing the Japanese they probably have just such an amendment written and waiting for the proper time.
It is probably in the same envelope with the legislative bill to assemble the nuclear components they do not have to build the nuclear weapons they do not have. Yet.
It is ancient and simple strategy. If the NORK missile poses no threat then don't give away a capability that may or may not work. To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, "They don't know what they don't know".

Good point. I stand corrected.
