The ship left a port in North Korea Wednesday and appears to be heading toward Singapore, according to a senior U.S. military source.

This should be interesting to watch unfold....

We have the N Korean Cargo ship being intercepted by the USS John McCain which is being shadowed by a Chinese sub which I'm sure is being shadowed by a U.S attack sub. Boys and girls get your popcorn and sit back and watch. Lets see if our Prez has the backbone to go toe to toe with the Koreans... The only thing that I can see stopping him is the 900 long range artillery units the North has that can level Seoul in minutes.
