Well, the Gooks
(See Korean War) are now officially a cancer that must be dealt
with.
Their latest missile, launched early on Wednesday, landed in
Japanese
waters. It reached an altitude of 4,500km (2,800 miles)
and flew 960km, according to South Korea's military. Evidently,
according to leader Kim-il-crazy, his next and final hurdle is to
perfect a way to re-enter with war heads intact. And, then ...
. So,
quite literally, we are on the brink of a world war that may well kill
everyone.
So there's that.
Now, reading between the lines, we can be sure that the United States
knew when the missiles were launched, and tracked them. Which
brings
us to this bit of news.
US
FIGHTER JETS ARE GETTING THE LASER
CANNONS
THEY'VE ALWAYS DESERVED
IT’S
BEEN JUST a few months since Lockheed Martin gave the US Army the most
powerful laser weapon ever developed, a ground vehicle–mounted system
that can burn through tanks and knock mortars out of the sky. Now the
US Air Force wants its own toy, so Lockheed’s engineers are back in the
lab, crafting the kind of weapon Poe Dameron could get down with.
They’re making a laser blaster for a fighter jet to swat down incoming
missiles.
Decades after science fiction writers and directors imagined worlds of
killer beams flying back and forth, reality is catching up. This spring
defense contractor Raytheon became the first to destroy a target with a
laser fired from a helicopter. At White Sands Missile Range in New
Mexico, the Apache AH-64 shot a truck from more than a mile away, while
on the move and from a variety of altitudes. Raytheon is also building
a laser-firing, drone-killing dune buggy. Boeing has its own anti-drone
laser cannon.
Alas ... "Now
it’s up to Lockheed to bring the pew to
the air. The new assignment falls under the Air Force Research Lab’s
Self-Protect High Energy Laser Demonstrator program, which, in the ever
flexible world of military acronyms, is also known as Shield. The
defense contractor is aiming to have a system it can test on a fighter
jet by 2021.
This
gook missile really puts China in a spot. If they do nothing to
(really) curb their client state, the fast track Chinese economy is at
risk from Free World assault blow- back. But, Chinese occupation of Nork
would put them
smack on the South Korean border. Your imagination can't run too
wild
here.
What would a President Hillary do here? The same thing her
husband
did. Send Jimmy Carter to broker a peace by giving them all
the
uranium they asked for. And all the money they ask for.
Extrapolate,
and thank God we have a Trump card.
