Mattis promised to shoot down North Korean missiles

The Pentagon is ready to shoot down North Korean ballistic missiles launched towards the United States or their allies, reports RIA News Statement by US Secretary of Defense James Mattis.

In the event of a missile launch in the direction of the territory of Japan, Guam, USA, (South) Korea, we will take immediate concrete actions to bring it down,

said the head of the Pentagon at the ministerial meeting of the United States and Japan on security issues.

He also threatened the North Korean regime with "military consequences" in the event of an attack.

In cooperation with our allies, we will arrange serious military consequences if the DPRK starts hostile actions,

stated Mattis.

Recall the situation on the Korean Peninsula sharply aggravated after North Korea announced its readiness to launch ballistic missiles in the Guam area, where two US military bases are located. In response, Donald Trump promised to bring “fire and rage” onto North Korean territory and do with it what “no one has ever seen before.”

Later, Kim Jong-un said that he had decided “for a while to look at the stupid behavior of the Yankees,” and therefore, while postponing a missile attack on Guam.

Mattis promised to shoot down North Korean missiles

[bouncyhunter]

Sanya, hi! Do you think Eun will throw a tart on the mattresses: he won’t start firing rockets?

[bouncyhunter]

Tighten this Hollywood franchise.

[san4es]

... And so they live

[bouncyhunter]

In general, "promise to knock down" and "knock down" are different concepts. Some also promised Russian satellites flying over their territory to bring down.

[Logall]

At the expense of the satellites, they came to their senses, remembered that we would do better.

[bouncyhunter]

For those whom I hinted at, the problem is different: there is nothing to shoot down, and we have nothing to shoot down from them.

Mattis promised to shoot down North Korean missiles

And for the "bazaar", Mr. Mettis will have to answer. And you will change, dear "friend", James, a warm chair, the Pentagon, on the stool of an air defense operator, and instead of importing plasma look, you’ll be framed round ....

SALUTES, SLAVES !!!!

Hi, Kostya! I would not want your scenario to come true. Better to let this mad dog retire and knock on dominoes.

Soon new tests of ICBMs in the DPRK will need to be spied.
Is it not responding?

[Finches]

I understand with my mind what the consequences may be as a result of this conflict, but with my heart I am for Eun-karapuza!

[Logall]

The heart for it is everyone who is against the states. And some — who are for ...

[bouncyhunter]

Hello Seryoga! The warlike rhetoric of the United States against the DPRK continues, everything is normal, nothing new, gentlemen ...

[aszzz888]

Hello Pasha! promotion of "hitting" each other is in full swing, but Eun, the campaign, is not one of those who raise their hands to the top ...

[bouncyhunter]

That's the calculation of mattresses that Eun's nerves will not stand and he first smells.

[aszzz888]

Pasha, it seems to me that Eunu will not be allowed to “hit” on the merikatos ... but not ours and the Chinese, for one reason they launched the press about Ukrokaklovsky engines on Korean missiles for nothing .... no wonder the Darkest knows his profession and remembers "excellent" ... we again must at least fill up a couple of birds with one stone ...

[bouncyhunter]

We can only guess about all the intricacies in this story, Seryoga. And we only know what we consider necessary to tell us.

[igorj 51]

Exactly..! You look what is happening in the States now .. Events in Charlottesville and Boston, etc. There really is a situation on the verge of a new civil war. And Trump now needs nosebleeds to somehow consolidate the whole of society in America. But how to do it..? Only through a small and victorious war. What does it have to do with a small and necessarily victorious one, and preferably without losses at all, or at least with single losses. Otherwise, collapse. Him as president and the States as a state. And he must necessarily expose himself so that he looks like a sort of “peacemaker” responding to some kind of external aggression. And that’s why he so tense the situation and provokes Eun with these statements with the promise of “fire and rage” and all sorts of consequences that “no one has seen” .. That is he needs to provoke Un to strike first. For this, I'm sure he can even intentionally substitute for example Guam. Eun, in turn, needs to maintain endurance and not succumb to all these provocations of the red cowboy. IMHO of course, but the situation looks something like this.

[bouncyhunter]

About the same thoughts I have. I think that Eun analysts are not in vain eating their bread and are also considering this option. And even if not, let VO be revered.

[igorj 51]

I think that Eun’s analysts are not in vain eating their bread and are also considering this option

Moreover, this is indirectly confirmed by the fact that Eun declared that he was “ready for some time to look at the stupid behavior of the Yankees ..” What some local commentators perceived as a sign that Eun allegedly “was blown away” ...

[bouncyhunter]

In VO there are enough opponents and supporters of both Trump and Eun.

. There are options, and one of them is negotiations with the northerners ... at least through intermediaries ...

And what's the point ..? The northerners themselves had long since proposed negotiations. That's just the Americans what is called horned and do not want to go on negotiations by setting deliberately impracticable preconditions. That is the whole difficulty of the diplomatic settlement of this conflict.

[irazum]

An interesting point. It’s worth it, of course, to show your abilities to the fat-faced man, but if they “make out” ... Then there will be a new, much steeper round of the “greyhound” from the muzzle side.

[donavi49]

Not. Then Plan B will be turned on - the DPRK treacherously launched a missile across Japan / Guam, it can no longer be tolerated - this is an attack on the United States and its allies. B1b / B2 and other Axes jambs went to the DPRK facilities.

[irazum]

And if Tolstomordov’s missiles fell in the exclusive economic zone of the Russian Federation?

[den3080]

I think that when they figure everything out and make sure that Eun guaranteed he will not be able to answer (and he really can do little against the Americans) then they will carry out a provocation in the style of “Remember Main”, “the incident in the Gulf of Tonkin” (the Uny state cannot reach the WTC towers) and a strike will be struck on North Korea.
so the Americans have only one problem left - guarantees Japan and South Korea that they will not suffer much. In my unenlightened view, nothing else holds.
China and Russia are not a deterrent, for they will wipe themselves out, or rather have already worn off (recently at the UN).

[igorj 51]

B1b / B2 and other Axes jambs went to the DPRK facilities.

here, by the way, too, not everything is so rosy .. Here, just yesterday, in connection with all this mess, such an interesting publication came out:

Who cares to read .. There is very interesting about the invincible US Air Force ..

[Observer2014]

And what prevented the Americans from shooting down these missiles during the tests before? Or not everything is so smooth with knocking

[igorj 51]

And what prevented the Americans from shooting down these missiles during the tests before? Or not everything is so smooth with knocking

Apparently the fact that they themselves are not completely sure that they can bring down the New missiles. I remember this earlier even some Pentagon general said .. Despite all their loud and brave statements.

[Masya masya]

In collaboration with our allies ...

Crowd on one, and one on one ... not how?

[rotmistr60]

we will take immediate concrete action to bring her down,

The statement is normal in form. Who will allow others to fly into the window. Another thing is that Matis does not lose anything. If the missiles do not reach for technical reasons, you can still say that they were shot down, which means they are ready to defend the allies (Kazakhstan, Japan and further on the list).

[JonnyT]

Eun has already stated that he is ready to launch missiles without warheads towards Guam.
This confrontation seems to be on hand for the Americans - training to repel a missile attack on the eve of the 3 world is more important than ever

[Kostadinov]

No one will check whether he knocked or not knocked down so Mathis will always be able to boast that he knocked down. Unless, of course, a rocket falls on someone’s head, but even then there will be the remnants of a shot down rocket.
Another thing is when the DPRK in response knocks a B-1 flying towards its territory.

Actually, this is not his diocese, negotiations. He replied as MANDATORY DEFENSE MINISTER RESPONSIBLE. Our defense minister would just as well have answered that we would be shooting down missiles coming at us and at our allies. And negotiations are the business of politicians (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and others).

Quote: Observer2014

And what prevented the Americans from shooting down these missiles during the tests before? Or not everything is so smooth with knocking

During the tests, the missiles went in a completely different direction and practically did not threaten any of the neighbors. They let them along a steep path to a relatively short range. There were a couple of cases when North Korean missiles fell in the exclusive economic zone of Japan (this is about 200 miles from the coast of Japan), but not in territorial waters. There was a case (several years ago) when the Hwasong-10 rocket, also known as the Musudan, fell 70-100 kilometers from Vladivostok. Last year (or I don’t remember that anymore), a North Korean rocket fell a few hundred kilometers from Vladivostok. The air defense was alerted, but the missile did not pose a threat, why shoot down. Therefore, the Americans did not shoot down, because their launches were not a threat. And if they are going to launch around Guam now, it is quite possible that the trajectory will pass over the territory of Japan and possibly South Korea. And this is a completely different scenario. At what height and whether will there be any missile defense systems in reach of Japan and South Korea?

[ochakow703]

In response, Donald Trump promised to bring down “fire and rage” on the territory of North Korea and to do with it what “no one has ever seen”.
It is unlikely to succeed. America has already tried everything in its bloody history, the world will not succeed, and even more so Koreans, than to surprise anyone.

[VAZ2106]

how will they be interesting to shoot them down? supersonic rockets

[nikvic46]

I don’t know the technical data of the DPRK missiles, and I’m not going to be a “fan” in this serious confrontation.
it was not enough to bet whether the Americans would hit the DPRK missiles. Gentlemen, commentators need to be more serious about this,
because the consequences of it can end sadly for the whole world.
