Trump warns N Korea that US military is 'locked and loaded'
11 August 2017

President Donald Trump says the US military is "locked and loaded" to deal with North Korea, ramping up the rhetorical brinkmanship.

"Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong-un will find another path!" he tweeted.

He spoke as Pyongyang accused him of "driving" the Korean peninsula to the "brink of a nuclear war".

3. Context is important. The lie is that the US is not ready to conduct major operations in NK.

I totally misinterpreted your topic line. I read the article at the link and got the context.

You might want to add some context for people who don't read the link.

4. Our strategic nuclear forces are 'locked and loaded' 24/7/365

When the president of the united states makes a threat like that people damn well better take it seriously.

Will the dictator of NK take Vox's work over Twitlers?

Call me crazy but I kinda doubt it.

2. Boy, John Kelly sure is imposing discipline on the White House, isn't he?

Really reining in the overheated rhetoric of a narcissistic blowhard. Well done, General.
