Oh boy! President Pence has decided to double-down on our first-strike capability! I sure hope this works…
The US and South Korea have agreed to the early activation of a defence system designed to shoot down North Korean missiles, according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency. The decision to activate the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system came during talks between the acting South Korean President Hwang Kyo Ahn and Mike Pence, as the US Vice President warned North Korea that the “era of strategic patience is over”.
