  2. I remember when I was in Osan, South Korea USAF. 2006-2008 We had multiple threats from North Korea and had emergency drills. This isn’t new.

  3. KimJu is perpetually obsessed and paranoid about the US wanting to invade his country. This is bizarre.
    Xi must have spiked all the Chinese tea given to him. The US is laser focused on China. Yet KimJu thinks it's him. Conceited moron.

  4. Ok . China has set the Hook ! Now there is a line . Soon the Sinker . Which is Russia with there ships and subs at our eastern coast !

  5. President Joe Biden has to be accountable and actually do lots of peace talks with these Nations end of discussion be a responsible leader and strive for peace world 🌎 ☮️ and love ❤️ like wtf instead of conflict!!!!!! Stop listening to the World Economic Forum clowns 🤡

  6. Disney character panties are the most cutest and comfortable kind of panties to wear gfrd

  15. in case war happens feel free to reply to me about what your dreams and ambitions were. what fears, and regrets? in case this is the last time you get to have a meaningful discussion about it with someone …. mine was to become a kickboxing champion and then become an actor

  16. America needs to INVADE and TAKE OUT North Korea leadership. However, because they have no oil or other resource we will let people suffer. F NK

  17. What’s with the garbage speculation

  18. Sounds like we are going to have WW3 🙁 it’s similar pattern when there was a Spanish flu, Great Depression , and then WW2 . Wake up . Believe in the Lord Christ so you can be saved .

  19. america is always causing trouble

  20. Operation Sunshine
    13 tactical heavily-armed teams embark on a covert operation under the cover of early morning darkness to infiltrate Pyongyang and secretly enter the Royal Palace and succeed in penetrating the room of Kim Jong Un
    And open the curtains right as the sun Shines over the landscape…. Effectively blinding him for a brief moment while everyone laughs

  21. If you could vote again who would you vote for? Because it sounds like trump was keeping us out of a lot of situations.

  22. And yet nothing will ever happen, because both countries are to 🐔 🐥s to do anything.

  23. Remember Korea&China&Russia&Iran they work together…If Kim doing this, that mean Xi offers
    .So basically, as I understand, they trying take US attation out of Ukraine, and slow down weapon support, when Russians slowly pushing ukraines.. IT is Chess gamee

  24. No matter the stock market crash one needs to have different portfolio, I already invested in Forex and Crypto which are really profitable

  28. The North Koreans are more emboldened because they know that Joe Biden is a weak president and has dementia.
