Picture of the Day: Aerial Resupply of THAAD Site Continues
A military helicopter airlifts matrials toward a golf course in Seongju, 296 km southeast of Seoul, where two launchers for an advanced U.S. missile defense system, known as the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), are deployed on Sept. 4, 2017. South Korea’s defense ministry announced that U.S. Forces Korea will soon install four more THAAD missile defense launchers at the site. (Yonhap)
If the residents are concerned about noise, perhaps they should drop their silly protest that is holding the lives of 50+million Koreas hostage; open the road, and allow proper facilities to be built. Then the site could run off prime power, the back up generators could be in baffled builidngs and helicopters wouldn’t be flying over their heads constantly.
But this is a South Korean communist run event so that won’t happnen.
If 50 million South Koreans won’t demand the end of North Korean sponsored protests by a handfull of selfish or anti-South Korean agents, America’s obligation to consider South Korean safety in any action to protect America is greatly reduced.
It was possible to support South Korea’s appeasement of NK when they simply hassled SK every few years with some sort of crappy attack. Now, NK is credibly threatening America, and by extension, threatening the world.
A possible tactic:
“Listen up, NK. We are going to be doing some targeted damage to your country. If you resist, you get bigger damage. Maybe you will all go down. If we don’t get KJU first, someone is welcome to displace him. We will be happy to work with you to show you are the great hero who brought peace to the Koreas (or whatever motivational goals are appropriate). And you will get all sorts of goodies (whatever aspiring leaders might like).”
