Trump: US 'Totally Prepared' for Military Option on North Korea

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the United States was totally prepared for a military option in dealing with North Korea, while his administration announced new sanctions in response to the country's nuclear and missile activity.By Steve Herman, Carla Babb September 26, 2017 "We are totally prepared for the second option, not a preferred option, but if we take that option it will be devastating, I will tell you that – devastating for North Korea. That's called the military option. If we have to take it, we will," he said. During a joint news conference with Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy at the White House, Trump said North Korea must no longer be allowed to "threaten the entire world with unthinkable loss of life." He thanked countries like Spain and China for taking steps to isolate the North Korean regime. "All nations must act now to ensure the regime's complete denuclearization," Trump said in the White House Rose...

By your friendly neighbourhood minority and Native.

Ya know its funny how so many victimize us miniorities and call whites evil n such. I mean come on. some might say "You're native, you can't support a group that stole your people's land". Well honestly most of it was won in fiar combat. Yes some was taken in bad treaties... but no race is perfect. We also did a lot of village raiding ourselves. NTM the title "savages" was earned. you might know one of my tribes, called the "Cherokees". You know, the ones with the huge casino  and most of yall are like 1/64th or whatever. They literally ate babbies. Human ones, other tribes, and I hear at times their own. so yeah, we we're savages like it or not. Then look at the thing about "OH, what about us enslaving the blacks? We were a horrible race for that" LOL, yall are cute. Slaves have been a factor in just about every culture in history. only countries that ddint have em are those that sprung up a few years ago. NTM it wasn't only ...

nuclear blast primary effects

he Blast Wave A fraction of a second after a nuclear explosion, the heat from the fireball causes a high-pressure wave to develop and move outward producing the blast effect. The front of the blast wave, i.e., the shock front, travels rapidly away from the fireball, a moving wall of highly compressed air. The effects of the blast wave on a typical wood framed house. The air immediately behind the shock front is accelerated to high velocities and creates a powerful wind. These winds in turn create dynamic pressure against the objects facing the blast. Shock waves cause a virtually instantaneous jump in pressure at the shock front. The combination of the pressure jump (called the overpressure) and the dynamic pressure causes blast damage. Both the overpressure and the dynamic pressure reach to their maximum values upon the arrival of the shock wave. They then decay over a period ranging from a few tenths of a second to several seconds, depending on the blast's strength and ...
