General Mattis Puts Kim Jong Un On Notice

US Chronicle

"Secretary of Defense General James Mattis has put the Communist nation of North Korea on notice that the United States will no longer tolerate the country’s “glorious leader,’ Kim Jong Un, threatening the world with a nuclear holocaust.

“ 'America’s commitments to defending our allies and to upholding our extended deterrence guarantees remain ironclad: Any attack on the United States, or our allies, will be defeated, and any use of nuclear weapons would be met with a response that would be effective and overwhelming.” 

"This according to Newsmax, who reported on Mattis’ recent trip to the region.

North Korea has been an increasingly unstable threat to the world as the country spent a large portion of the Obama administration testing and perfecting their ballistic missiles and hydrogen bombs.

"While visiting South Korea, Mattis discussed a timeline for the construction and implementation of an anti-missile defense program called Theater High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).

"THAAD will provide a protective missile defense system that will be able to shoot down missiles aimed at South Korea or Japan.

"This attitude of deterrence through strength is a far cry from the Obama administration’s efforts to severely dismantle the American military, and attempts to get rid of the nation’s nuclear arsenal.

"Though the media did not seem to have a problem with an American president colluding with Russia then, just prior to the 2012 election, Barack Obama was caught on a hot mic telling Dmitry Medvedev that he would have more flexibility to dismantle the US’ nuclear arsenal after his election because he would no longer have to worry about reelection." . . .
