While protect itself with the threat of using nuclear weapons is far from ideal, it is infinitely preferable to the situation in which the US has now found itself: chasing its tail over costly and ineffective missile technology, writes Jason Douglas.
The Pentagon said this evening that the US remains “vigilant in the face of North Korean provocations” as it announced the deployment of the missile system.
The secretive state’s latest public comment came in response to the announcement of a new deal between South Korea and the US to triple the range of its missiles.
The attack, aimed at targeting Taliban militants, is unlikely to improve already strained and deteriorating relations between Washington and Islamabad.
PRIME MINISTER BORIS Johnson has repeated again and again that the UK will leave the EU on 31 October – deal or no deal.
The chances of a deal being put in place appear slim for now and, as TheJournal.ie reported yesterday, there are a number of possible outcomes from an early election to a Brexit delay altogether.
Johnson told the Mail on Sunday that despite parliament passing legislation to block a no-deal Brexit on 31 October, he would seek to leave anyway on that date even if no agreement had been reached with the EU.
He had wanted to call an election and that’s still possible – but that could mean there’ll be a different person in Number 10 by Halloween who’d have a different plan for Brexit altogether.
So, what do you think? Do you think the UK will leave the EU on 31 October?
