The U.S. Navy is shifting a guided-missile destroyer in the Pacific to waters off the Korean peninsula in the wake of ongoing rhetoric from North Korea, U.S. defense officials said.

The USS Fitzgerald is capable of intercepting and destroying a missile, should North Korea decide to fire one off, the officials said.

Still, U.S. defense officials insist that there is nothing to indicate that North Korea is on the verge of another launch.

The White House on Monday said the United States hasn’t seen large-scale movements from North Korean military forces in the aftermath of harsh rhetoric from the reclusive government.

5. One rational step

The path to war is traveled one rational step at a time. Each step predicated on a sound defensive basis and related to the threat at hand. Each step is matched on the opposite side by an equally rational and defensible justification. Each step walks a path to the most unreasonable conclusion.

War.

14. Fun fact

During the 1990s we tried reproach meant, with the six and three party talks as well as humanitarian aid.

Bush pulled out quite a few (thousands) of troops off the Peninsula after the axis of evil speech.

The going theory is that this is how NK gets both attention and moderation of sanctions.

8. The capability to shoot down a missile is

a life-saving defensive capability. Sounds like a good plan to me.
