US, allies prepared to use 'overwhelming force' in North Korea, general says



The U.S. and its allies are prepared to use “rapid, lethal and overwhelming force,” if necessary, against North Korea, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces warned Saturday night.
The statement from Gen. Terrence J. O’Shaughnessy, U.S. Pacific Air Forces commander, came after the militaries of the U.S., South Korea and Japan spent 10 hours conducting bomber-jet drills over the Korean Peninsula.
The training mission was a response to North Korea’s recent ballistic missile launches and nuclear program, and part of the U.S. regular commitment to defending its allies in the Asia-Pacific region, the general’s statement said.
“North Korea remains the most urgent threat to regional stability,” O’Shaughnessy said.
“If called upon,” he added, “we are ready to respond with rapid, lethal and overwhelming force at a time and place of our choosing.”
North Korea conducted test launches of ICBMs on July 3 and July 28, and has claimed that its weapons can now reach the U.S. mainland.
The country’s recent actions have drawn condemnation from President Trump, and prompted U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to confer with counterparts from South Korea and Japan to develop a response, Fox News has reported.
Both Trump and Tillerson have criticized China, saying the Beijing government has failed to use its influence to discourage North Korea from developing its nuclear program, Fox News reported.
On Saturday, two U.S. Air Force B-1B bombers, under the command of U.S. Pacific Air Forces, joined counterparts from the South Korean and Japanese air forces in sequenced bilateral missions.
According to the Pentagon, the U.S. bombers took off from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, then flew to Japanese airspace, where they were joined by two Koku Jieitai (Japan Air Self Defense Force) F-2 fighter jets.

The B-1s then flew over the Korean Peninsula, where they were joined by four F-15 fighter jets from the South Korean air force.
The B-1s then performed a low-pass over Osan Air Base, South Korea, before leaving South Korean airspace and returning to Guam.







Soon after North Korea launched another ICBM into the Sea of Japan, the Union Of Concerned Scientists put out the 'range chart' seen below which proves the North Korean dictators recent warnings that nearly all of the United States is now within the reach of his deadly missiles was accurate. Reporting that North Korea could now easily hit the US West coast and a number of major midwest cities including Denver, St. Louis and Chicago, the UCS also confirmed that big East coast cities such as Washington DC, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore could soon be in range if they aren't already. 


With Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley recently cautioning "time is running out on North Korea" as heard in the 1st video below after the North Korean leader's most recent threats, which included 'nuking America tomorrow' (which he quite obviously never did), some believe that President Trump's recent hire of General John Kelly to be his White House Chief of Staff is another possible sign that we're heading towards war and it could come sooner than later, possibly before the end of summer according to some analysts who believe North Korea will be able to launch a reliable nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile by early 2018


According to this recent story from VOA, General Milley also warns that North Korea's nuclear technology is advancing much faster than anyone had anticipated. Warning his audience that “North Korea is extremely dangerous, and more dangerous as the weeks go by”, we see why the element of time is so crucial with Kim claiming this test "is meant to send a grave warning to the US" which "demonstrated the North's ability to launch at any place and time" according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). 

In other words, if Kim wants to commit national suicide, he could launch 'armageddon' at any moment  Of course Kim has to know a North Korean attack upon America would bring about the end of his nation and the lives of millions of innocent and poorly treated people. Yet, experts warn, he could cause untold travesty here in America and across the planet while in the process. And whether nukes or the 'nighmare scenario' we see outlined in more detail below, that North Korea has teamed with 'ISIS' to infiltrate and attack US cities and targets from within, it's very clear that President Trump understands the dire nature of what he faces ahead of him. 


According to US DOD head James 'Maddog' Mattis, a US war with North Korea would be one of the most deadly anybody has ever seen in our lifetimes, possibly leaving millions dead and our planet suffering one of its greatest ever tragedies. Warning such a war would be outright 'catastrophic', we see why there is such hesitancy against carrying out a military strike against a country that is poised to possibly destroy us. Yet the clock is ticking as North Korea gets more dangerous every day. 


And as the Telegraph reported earlier today, the recent North Korean ICBM launch has left the US on the verge of turning to a military response despite the fact that there are very few, if any, 'good' military options on the table

As we reported on ANP back on July 22nd, another one of the signs we're witnessing that war may be approaching came via the announcement that the US is urging all US citizens to depart North Korea immediately while banning other US citizens and tourists from visiting the country. It's also been reported that the elite are clearly preparing for a 'cataclysmic event' and North Korean nuclear bombs raining down upon US cities would easily qualify as such an event. 

With Kim also threatening to 'take out the entire US all at once', we've long warned on ANP that the only way for North Korea or any other nation to do that would be to take down our electrical grid via EMP or cyber attack. With most Americans completely dependent upon the grid for nearly every facet of their lives while the same majority is completely unprepared for any long-term power outage, it's very easy to understand why experts such as Dr. Peter Pry warn that such a 'grid down scenario' could eventually lead to the deaths of 90% of Americans. 


According to this little reported May 5th story over at the Daily Star, N Korea may have teamed up with ISIS to wage war against the US. Warning that a partnership between the two would be beneficial for both, Dr. Patricia Doyle outlines for us why such a teaming could pose a nightmare scenario for the US considering years and years of wide open borders via Barack Obama and the globalists. 

A shock theory has claimed the two villains could pull their resources together to create a cocktail of weapons for war against the US. The nightmare scenario could see ISIS terrorists nuke a US city with a “dirty bomb” hidden in a suitcase. 

Dr Patricia Doyle said: "We already know that Iran and North Korea have a longstanding working relationship. I wonder how much of the Iran-NK partnership is due to both countries' hostilities with the US. "If those two get together, ISIS may be able to help North Korea with infiltrating the US and a friendship between the two could be very valuable for both ISIS and North Korea. 

"North Korea does have a spy network among the Korea community in the US. "The spy network has mostly spied on the Koreans checking for defectors from North Korea and was seeking out any Koreans who might be working with the US. "ISIS training could bring the North Koreans up to date on terrorism such as assembling and placing suitcase nukes in crowded cities in South Korea and the US." 


North Korea is well known to have one of the most dangerous bioweapons programs in the world.  

As the Daily Mail reported back on December 19th of 2014, according to then recently declassified reports, we have 100% proof that North Korean terror squads set up at least 5 different commando units on US soil back in the 1990's, prepared to attack US cities and US nuclear plants should war break out between the US and North Korea. 

The world is seemingly poised on some mega catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions. Jesus warned there would be wars and rumors of wars that would plague the world in the last days. The ominous chilling signs of the times are all around us!! Everything is leading up to something big: Armageddon! The countdown to the final showdown continues at a more rapid pace.
