KIM JONG-UN MUST BE SHAKING IN HIS BOOTS

U.S. rolls out cold war B-52 bomber in response to North Korea’s latest nuclear test

On Wednesday, North Korea carried out its fourth nuclear test, claiming it was the test of a hydrogen bomb.

On Sunday, in response to the test, the U.S. flew a cold war B-52 bomber over South Korea to within 45 miles of its border with North Korea. The bomber flew from and back to Guam and the flight was intended to show North Korea there would be consequences for its provocative nuclear activities.

I’m sure Dear Leader Kim Jong-Un must be shaking in his boots. In 2013, after North Korea carried out its third nuclear test, the U.S. threatened Kim Jong-Un with the similar flight of a B-52 over South Korea. That worked out well, didn’t it?

Furthermore, why threaten Kim Jong-Un with an aging airplane when, as I strongly suspect, we have a nuclear armed missile battery stationed somewhere in South Korea that is aimed at Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital. And if that missile battery is stationed in South Korea, you can bet Kim Jong-Un not only knows about it, but he also knows its exact location.

Kim Jong-Un has repeatedly told his people that the U.S. plans to attack North Korea. Thus, the flight of that B-52 merely serves to buttresses his propaganda with the North Korean people.
