James Mattis: North Korea ‘Has Got to Be Stopped’

Via Drudge:  After years of North Korea thumbing its nose at the international community, on Friday Defense Secretary James Mattis appeared to signal enough was enough.

"Right now, [North Korea] appears to be going in a very reckless manner … and that has got to be stopped," Mattis said at a press conference in London.

He didn't give any details about how the administration of President Donald Trump plans to deal with the reclusive nation, which, under Kim Jong Un, has drastically increased its missile and nuclear-testing program.

‘I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.’

Tillerson said the same thing about a week ago.

Nice to see this is an Administration with everybody singing from the same hymnal.

I think this is incredibly dangerous and stupid. Why do we give a shit about the NORKS? Sure they threaten Japan. Maybe even Australia. The Philippines? For sure South Korea where we still have too many troops fifty years after the war. The Continental United States. Not so much.

Of course the NORKS nukes might reach California. Hey that would be a win/win. (Sorry chickie and DBQ and Bags). Say they nuke Hollywood and we nuke them in turn. Like I said win/win.

I live in New York City that most of the rest of the country wishes would be nuked and destroyed. We are a big fat target and have always been one.

So now that the West Coast is on the radar I ain't so upset. Waddayagonnado?

You take out that fat midget Chinaman and the problem is solved.

I think that's right. But I think the way to do it is too help the NORK's themselves to do it. You need his right hand man to off him. Someone close who will step into power. Offer to recognize him and do a deal right away if they kill him quick.

Of course the CIA is incapable of doing something like that. They are too busy trying to undermine the Trump administration.

But it was always that way. When they wanted to do Castro they had to put out a contract with the Mob. Maybe they should do the same. Only this time with the Russian Mob. They are the ones with the balls these days.

You wanna really freakout? I just read a column about South Korean politics and apparently a party to the left of the Democrats has a good chance of winning the upcoming election and the leader of that party is passionate about reuniting the two Koreas. Guess what a threat a reunited Commie North and Hard Left South would be. Not that any of it is real to me. I've never experienced a human look from an Oriental. And I return the favor.

Until said united Korea develops a credible ballistic missile and nucular weapon. For those who haven't heard, the winds blow west to east on this continent.

I have my doubts about this Mad Dog Mattis dude. I noticed when his name first came up, the Libs didn't say shit about him. Usually, they would throw a shit-fit with someone like that, but they didn't. Why?

I want to write a story about this very subject. The love/hate relationships between the Jews and the Chinese. It is quite interesting to me. Just sayn'
