So I guess Dennis Rodman's recent visit didn't calm things down...

I also want to make it very clear that I do understand a war may be necessary. What I find appalling is how many of you are super enthused about the way this president is potentially ambling into one.
He is confronting a problem that others have kicked down the road for decades. China owns NK and PDJT knows, that black cloud overhead is not global warming. This problem needs solving and solve he will.

Would you rather he capitulate ?

Bottom line is the little fat guy will cease to exist the minute he launches a missile at Guam. He knows that.

Why are you appalled? Some of us are enthused because Trump is smart enough to not go down the same ol' worn out, beaten, useless, fruitless path of appeasement taken by all other previous administrations, beginning first and foremost with Clinton. This path of appeasement is what has brought the world to the point it is now. But if you think NK is bad, you have seen nothing once Iran flexes it's nuclear muscles, thanks to Obama.

That would be the trade that Trump wants to kill off with punitive tariffs on Chinese imports?

Awww, did someone get their feelings hurt??? I mean using those big (hide behind a computer words) like calling me an asshole would indicate so.
But just as Ive told anyone and everyone else, you wish to take it to the gutter, I will be more then happy to oblige.
As to whether I told Mike about his money comment, NO I didn't. And not that I need to explain anything to you, here is why. Mike didn't bring up the money situation. He mentioned it in reply to you and your whining ass about losing money.
As to my ability to read, I must of read it correctly as it seems I have struck a nerve. Had my reply been incoherent or not legible, I am sure I wouldn't of gotten the response you sent.

However, to stay on topic.....In no way am I remotely concerned by a country that can not even keep its lights on at night. in no way I am concerned about a country that can barely feed its militia. In no way am I concerned about a country that has to use its military to push their broken down soviet era equipment. Hell, they still use some bi planes for their military!!!

Kim is crazy but not stupid. Does ANYONE here really think this guy would give up power?? A war (if you wish to even call it that) would mean he loses power and probably suffers the same fate as those other crazy despots from Libya and Iraq. That is NOT what he is after!

Show me anywhere that NK even remotely has the capability to put 50 tomahawk cruise missiles on target at a moments notice...(See the reprocussions Syria experienced for using chemicals).

Little kim is a kid who is trying to get his way. Problem is, Trump is NOT Obama or any of the past presidents who bent over backwards and have gotten us into the current predicament. NK has gotten its way for so long, that kim just thought this would be another pushover...WRONG F^%%$# answer little Kim!

Seoul might take a few barrages of soviet style artillery. Sure there may be some loss of life. But, it would be over before Kim could spell his name.
Right now its just a lot of blustering and sabre rattling by the little want to get my way fat guy.

Ps, the stock markets are finicky to sabre rattling and bluster....might I suggest a safer option.....invest in rolaids if you don't like what the current POTUS is doing!

What leverage? No tariffs on Chinese imports if they keep a short leash on Little Kim?

This fat punk is like a dog that charges right to the end of his yard and stops. He has no intention of launching at humans. He loves himself too much.

But he may render the jellyfish extinct.

The Global Times is a newspaper owned and run by the Chinese Communist Party. The paper is routinely used to unofficially announce government policy.

An editorial in the paper recently indicated that if the US initiated military action against NK, China would come to the aid of NK. And if NK initiated action, they were on their own.

These would be my words if I was President.

"The United States is NOT declaring war on North Korea. If North Korea wishes to declare war on The United States, we will immediately begin our attack on them. If North Korea states they are not declaring war on The United States, I would like to immediately begin negotiations to understand how we can end the verbal threats."

I'd tell you as president to let congress do the declarations and let's just pretend the last one never ended with this crew.

The verbal threats are for the North Korean domestic audience. Pretty much everyone in the world outisde of Donald Trump and folks like you understand this.

North Korea is no threat to the United States. It cannot, in any sense, follow through on it's threats in a way that isn't suicide.

Meanwhile, we fritter away our own stature by taking rhetorical cues from a nation whose bizzare bluster would have remained laughable without our President sinking to their level.

In a sense, I guess it's the same rational. He is addressing his audience who seem to need constant reassurance that we really are badasses.
