Shit just got real with North Korea [View all]

Honestly, North Korea scares the living shit out of me and I consider this the most important issue we are facing as a country right now. That being said; shit just got real. North Korea is telling foreign journalists to now flee South Korea and there is a "big event" coming Thursday.

We have a battle group steaming into the area and China now has formally warned North Korea NOT to mess with the United States. Folks, I'm not liking this at all. Not one damn bit!

I'm seeing reports that NK has told people to evac Pyongyang immediately. Umm....someone please tell me that's fake news?
