Donald Trump set to crush North Korean leader, as US warships head toward the Korean Peninsula

US warships

After several years of threats against world peace by the North Korean leader, it is now becoming apparent that he might be heading towards his waterloo, as the current US president Donald Trump sends the US Navy aircraft carrier to the Korean peninsula with the aim to "remove the threat" of North Korea.

Kim Jong-un was issued with a blunt warning with a threatening message by H.R. McMaster saying the US president would not rest until all nuclear weapons are given up by North Korea.
                                                                                                            The recently-appointed National Security Advisor (NSA) said the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier was one of a "full range of options" that the US had at its disposal to handle North Korea.

With the recent number warships deployed to the Korean peninsula, analysts are saying that such a move could put both countries on a warpath. Also, it was told by a US official that Carrier Strike Group 1 would leave Singapore and move towards the western Pacific Ocean near the Korean Peninsula.

This move comes during rising worries about North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme, which is viewed as a threat to world peace.

Also, following the air strike being carried out by the US in Syria last Saturday the Syrian regime showed that its decision to further strengthen its nuclear armed forces was "absolutely right."

Mr McMaster told Fox News Sunday: "The move is prudent.

"Korea has engaged in a pattern of provocative behaviour. This is a rogue regime that is a nuclear-capable regime."

So far, the US president and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping have been on the same side, all because of North Korea.
He added that President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping were on the same page when it came to North Korea.

Pressed by host Chris Wallace, Mr McMaster revealed "the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula must happen" one way or another.


Speaking further he said: "The President asked us to give him a full range of options to remove this threat to the American people and our allies and partners in the region."

Fear grips US over China’s capability to defeat America in the event of any war

Chinese Military

Fear grips US Commanders as any battle with China which happens to be the Asian powerhouse could result to the defeat of the US military.

The Chinese government is angry regarding President Trump’s alleged heavy handed strategy towards the South China Sea, which is a billion dollar trade route.

The Chinese government are annoyed with the US government because White House is mounting heavy pressure to have a say over the resource-rich stretch of sea, the move has made analyst to sound notes of warning that the US government has bitten more than they can chew.

In line with any eventuality, the Chinese government has built a missile-packed military stronghold around the Chinese territory, with island being built to serve as stationary aircraft carriers by Xi Jinping government

The essence of the fortified islands are to shoot aircrafts out of the sky and also sink forthcoming war ships. The move has therefore created huge worry for US commanders.

For several months now, the Chinese people have repeatedly stressed that only war could make them to vacate the islands, apparently their ability to go up against one of the world’s biggest Naval forces.

"Some China-watchers have said that China plays Go (a game of position), while America tends to be a poker player — daring its opponents to call its bets," Commander Thomas Shugart, a submarine warfare officer in the US Navy said.

"By staking out its bold new positions in the South China Sea, China’s goal may be to up the ante to a point where the United States is faced with a tough choice: put a pile of chips on the table and risk huge losses or fold up its cards and go home.

"The United States should do what it takes now to ensure that the game doesn’t get to that point."

Mr Shugart while speaking to the Daily Star stated that the US must "dramatically accelerate" the position of high-tech weapons to the region in order to stop China's dominance.

Saying that any obliviousness of China’s ever expanding technical arsenal could lead to loss for Trump’s troops.
Artificial islands built by China, and contested by its neighbours, each contain a 10,000 foot runaway, deep water harbours for warships, and hangers for fighters, bombers, and spy aircraft.

One island - Mischief Reef - is almost as big as Washington, DC. Today, China is been hoping to create “floating” nuclear power plants.

Commander Shugart further stated that "The potential combination of China’s premier anti-ship and anti-air capabilities — along with the sheer, breathtaking scale of China’s island-building — call for serious consideration of the faux islands’ potential impact to US diplomacy and contingency planning, as well as the need to take all possible measures to prevent their full militarisation.

"China is clearly placing a massive bet on their new island bases."

Commander Shugart said the missile are likely in place- and ready to be fired.

"China would now be able to strike, with either DF-21C land-attack ballistic missiles or CJ-10 cruise missiles, US and allied facilities and airfields throughout the Philippines and even to Singapore,” he said.”

"Those who lead the Peoples’ Liberation Army are not fools. They will take measures to ensure their bases have a chance of surviving in combat long enough to matter."

"China’s island bases are being built from scratch in the era of precision strike and are therefore able to have appropriate countermeasures 'baked in' from the start."

Nevertheless, tough talk from Trump’s aides has suggested the US has no plans to bow to Beijing.

Steve Bannon, White House chief strategist, said: "We’re going to war in the South China Sea in five to 10 years.

"There’s no doubt about that. They’re taking their sandbars and making basically stationary aircraft carriers and putting missiles on those.


"They come here to the US in front of our face – and you understand how important face is – and say it’s an ancient territorial sea.”

How a mother's negligence drowns her 4-year-old boy while she was busy texting with her phone

Boy four drowns in China

The rate in which gross negligence is being exhibited by some parents, makes one wonder if having children is becoming a curse in this present generation we find ourselves?

A boy drowned in a swimming pool despite being just metres away from his mother who was busy texting on her phone.

In a video clip which revealed the sad event, the woman had her back turned while her son desperately fought to stay above the water in the background.

She was completely oblivious to what was going on as she seemingly searched for the four-year-old after finishing with her phone.

As the woman walked off, she had no idea that her son was seconds from death and struggling for his life a short distance away.

The incident which happened in China, has been shared hundreds of times on Twitter by people raising awareness of the risks of leaving children unsupervised in water.

The Child Accident Prevention Trust warns that babies and children can “drown silently” in as little as five centimetres of water.

It was also included that: “In the last six years, 30 children under 10 have drowned in a hotel or villa pool abroad. This usually happens when they wander away from their parents and fall into the pool.”

The life transformation story of a 2-year-old Indonesian smoker

Indonesian baby smoker

In 2010, the world was stunned when a 2-year-old kid from Indonesia circulated around the web — for being dependent on smoking cigarettes. A video of the chain-smoking kid, named Ardi Rizal, was presented on the web. It indicated him puffing on a cigarette and news spread that he smoked up to 40 cigarettes a day.

At the time, Ardi's folks had sorry excuses for their child's compulsion. His mom was cited saying, If he doesn’t get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick.” His dad said he thought Ardi looked sufficiently sound.

As per Independent, youngster smoking in Indonesia is a noteworthy worry, with up to 30 percent of the nation's 80 million kids taking up the propensity by age 10. In 2008, more than 165 billion cigarettes were sold in the nation.

Ardi's story brought about so much worldwide sicken and far reaching consideration that the Indonesian government put Ardi in a recovery program to get out from under him of his horrendous propensity. Truth be told, there was such a great amount of reaction against the footage and photographs of Ardi smoking that the administration propelled an across the nation crusade to end youth smoking inside and out.

Though Ardi conquered his smoking dependence, yet immediately supplanted it with another hurtful propensity…

When he was 3, Ardi was smoking up to 40 cigarettes a day. In view of the worldwide shock, the administration put Ardi in a recovery program and propelled a battle to address the issue of kid smoking.

Fortunately, Ardi could get out from under the propensity through his treatment program, which included directing and treatment — however he supplanted one hurtful habit with another.

Ardi got snared on garbage sustenance. When he was 6 years of age, Ardi was beyond husky. His folks, at last ready and prepared to see their child solid, associated him with a nutritionist and put him on a strict eating regimen.

Ardi, now 8, has kicked both of his addictions. He has promised to avoid cigarettes and garbage sustenance and has been doing awesome in this way.


In spite of the fact that his story started as a grievous one, Ardi demonstrates anybody can conquer undesirable propensities with assurance and support.
