Is a Sixth North Korean Nuclear Test Imminent?

I guess we will soon find out, however the big question is going to be will President Trump do something in response?:

Since late 2013, piles of rocky debris from the excavation of the site’s North tunnel system have grown quite large — now big enough to cover a football field, and quite high. It’s the largest pile ever observed there. Work on the excavation has recently slowed, quite likely signaling readiness for the next detonation.

New satellite images suggest that North Korea might soon conduct another underground detonation in its effort to learn how to make nuclear arms — its sixth explosive test in a decade and perhaps its most powerful yet.

North Korea’s nuclear tests have grown steadily more destructive, and the country continues to pursue its longtime goal of putting a nuclear warhead on an intercontinental missile capable of reaching targets around the globe.

The United States recently ordered an aircraft carrier and other warships toward the Korean Peninsula in a show of force intended to discourage the North from testing a nuclear weapon.

While examining satellite imagery, experts have observed a wide range of activity at Mount Mantap, a mile-high peak where North Korea conducts its nuclear tests. Beneath the mountain, a system of tunnels has been excavated for the past five detonations of the North’s nuclear bombs.

North Korea often marks significant dates with shows of military force, and analysts say it might detonate a nuclear weapon to celebrate the birthday this Saturday of the nation’s founder, Kim Il-sung, the grandfather of the current leader, Kim Jong-un.  [New York Times]

While many seem to be living in denial…

Yes, Trump is likely to strike North Korea… even preemptively, at this point.

The shyt-stirring media is even on the program to assist in the endevor by creating justification… either working with “the government” or just as a way to sell more news.

The media pushes the idea to the world that North Korea is preparing a test… Trump strikes because they were about to detonate a nuclear weapon. Who can complain?

This pattern happens all the time.

Speaking of Football, allow me to be the first to congratulate Tim Tebow in his shift from Baseball to Hitman:

The 3:16 mark on Hernandez’ forehead is “The Timinator’s” calling card.

You heard it here first!
