Military solutions are now fully in place,locked and loaded,should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!

No additional surface ships have been diverted or scheduled troop deployment moved up. This is dumb, reckless farce. https://t.co/fhZEollur5

Zedd points out the obvious. Trump makes threats but doesn’t back them up with anything. It’s all bluster all the time. He claims that the US is prepared, but no forces are in theater. No forces are even being pushed into the theater. No naval units are being activated or sent to the region beyond what is already in the region.

In other words, Trump’s bellicosity is an empty threat - and Jong Un knows this. He reads the papers. He sees everything Trump’s doing and Trump’s playbook is known to everyone because he’s a reactionary know-nothing.
