    Washington (CNN)The US military has detected "highly unusual and unprecedented levels" of North Korean submarine activity and evidence of an "ejection test" in the days following Pyongyang's second intercontinental ballistic missile launch this month, a defense official told CNN on Monday.

    An ejection test examines a missile's "cold-launch system," which uses high pressure steam to propel a missile out of the launch canister into the air before its engines ignite. That helps prevent flames and heat from the engine from damaging either the submarine, submersible barge or any nearby equipment used to launch the missile.
    Carried out on land at Sinpo Naval Shipyard, Sunday's ejection test is the third time this month -- and fourth this year -- that North Korea has conducted a trial of the missile component that is critical to developing submarine launch capabilities, according to the US defense official.

    US officials also noted that a North Korean Sang-O submarine was operating in the Yellow Sea and the length of its deployment was notable. Two Romeo submarines were detected in the waters off Japan -- each one operating in the area for about a week.
    Coupled with reports of increased submarine activity, news of another ejection test comes amid concerns over North Korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile that appears to have the range to hit major US cities on Friday.
    Experts believe if Friday's test had been fired on a flatter, standard trajectory, it could have threatened cities like Los Angeles, Denver and Chicago.

    President Donald Trump told reporters at his second full Cabinet meeting that his administration will be able to take care of North Korea but offered no specifics about what he plans to do.
    "We will handle North Korea. We are gonna be able to handle them. It will be handled. We handle everything," Trump said after a reporter asked him about his strategy.
    Asked if the US would strike first, Trump's press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday that "all options are on the table," adding that Trump would not "broadcast" his decisions.

    Democrat Sen. Mark Warner said on "Erin Burnett Out Front" Monday that Trump showed "enormous naiveté" by suggesting the nuclear threat from North Korea could be handled so simply.

    North Korea's submarine fleet is believed to encompass about 70 subs, though the majority are quite old and likely cannot fire missiles.
    When taken together, these developments are concerning because North Korea says it is trying to develop a missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to the United States.

    Pyongyang has long maintained the ability to legitimately threaten the United States with a nuclear attack is the only way to protect itself against any US-led attempts at regime change.
    Land-based and submarine-based missiles are considered two-thirds of what is known as the "Strategic Triad," a theory that a state must have land, air and sea-based nuclear attack capabilities to successfully deter an enemy from trying to attack it.

    The current US intelligence assessment is that the missile program aboard submarines remains in the very early stages.
    CNN reported earlier this month that North Korea had sent a diesel-powered Romeo Class sub on an unprecedented patrol and had been outfitting its Gorae Sub with a possible missile launch demonstration tube.

    Or, do (we) effect a regime change like we were urging last week?

    See, it's okay for us to effect a regime change, but, if anybody tries such on us we take actual umbrage. Just take an awful fit over it.

    Here is what we should do:::leave these people alone. Concentrate on this country, on our people.

    We will never strike first, so, it doesn't matter what we do until they strike first.

    Senator Graham Just Revealed His Terrifying Talk With Trump About “War” With North Korea

    On the subject of North Korea, host Matt Lauer told Graham that “every military expert says there is no good military option,” but the Senator disagreed.

    “They’re wrong,” Graham said.

    “There is a good military option, to destroy North Korea’s program and North Korea itself.”

    Graham acknowledged that “Japan, South Korea, and China would all be in the cross-hairs of a war if we started one with North Korea” and that “thousand [would] die.”

    Nevertheless, he sees this as the “good military option” and so does the president.

    “He’s told me that to my face,” Graham said, a claim later confirmed by Vox, which contacted both Graham and Trump’s press offices.

    “Donald Trump is not going to allow this missile threat…”

    It's actually a good thing for Rexxon to say.

    That's why I think he's next in the dead pool.

    Meanwhile President Pussy-grabber is getting ready to handle something else other than female genitalia:

    "We'll handle North Korea. We're going to be able to handle them. It will be handled. We handle everything,"

    Don't we all feel so much safer? He is going to handle it.






    WHAT AN IDIOT.

    wonder why the media seems to omit certain details such as: there are 83 US bases in South Korean and US warships patrolling the coast; US-South Korean military exercises have included dropping mock nuclear bombs on North Korea; the US military plans to permanently station an armed drone on the Korean Peninsula and it has been practicing long-range strikes with strategic bombers, sending them to the region for exercises and deploying them in Guam and on the peninsula; and the U.S holds a “pre-emptive first strike” policy towards North Korea. is the narrative best suited to create the idea of NK as a rogue nation bent on nuking the U.S. for no apparent reason? the media even diminishes China's role in what is going on.

    Problem with nuclear weapons is that you end up irradiating allies. And China.

    Do you want to irradiate 1/6 of the human population, and turn the rest of the world against us?

    25,000,000 people in Seoul alone. that region actually contains half of the world's total population (when you add up china, russia and japan), not to mention the busiest commercial ports and biggest economies.

    North Korea won't give up nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles for negotiations

    North Korea also threatened

    to "make the U.S. pay dearly for all the heinous crime [SIC] it commits against the state and people of this country."

    Thats why starting a regime change by force is beyond lunacy. Only a bloodthirsty demon would support any kinds of armed intervention in such a heavily populated area.

    Trump Just Stunned The World With An Outrageous Twitter Lie

    Donald J. Trump
    ✔@realDonaldTrump

    The Fake News Media will not talk about the importance of the United Nations Security Council's 15-0 vote in favor of sanctions on N. Korea!

    3:15 PM - Aug 7, 2017

    ======================================

    the media has widely covered the new round of sanctions – and the hostile reaction from North Korea.

    Nk doesnt really need a high tech delivery system. They could put a nuke in a 40' container bound for the port of LA and blow it when they dock. Would trash the US economy for years.
