    No really. Ten minutes.
    It's really not that complex. We've had decades of political dialog with both China and their proxy all to no avail. It's time to show strength instead and let them know that we're serious. Time for talking is over.

    So, they're not an imminent threat then.

    The irony of the Wall is that there are Mexican contractors trying to get into the action of building it. It's good for their business.

    South Korea will just merge and we'll just have Korea. Is it really that confusing for people? China won't mind. It's more people that can now buy their products.

    Anyone with a nuke is an imminent threat. The US didn't have miniaturization when they bombed Japan. If a nuke goes off in a shipping container, it does the same amount of damage as it landing via a missile.

    So we should attack everyone who has nukes? Do we also attack ourselves?

    No, they do not have thousands of MiGs. They have less than a thousand total aircraft (944), and that includes trainers, transports and helicopters. They only have 458 fighter/interceptors, and planes on the ground would be one of the first targets.

    Yea, we all know Donny and his sociopathic behaviour, but I was under the impression that US hasn't turned into a lawless jungle yet.

    If we launch a "strike" then expect a nuclear war. There is no "strike" and the only reason Syria and Iran did not start launching missiles at our ships in the seas near them is because Russia stopped them. I honestly do not think people how close we came to ww3 this week.

    Guaranteed chance Seoul gets nuked if we strike North Korea. I mean for fuck sake Kim Jung Nutjob is telling people to evacuate Pyonyang. You can kiss 50,000 US troops good bye on the DMZ if we light this match.

    There is this pc from the link;

    South Korea Must Sign Off

    Implementation of the preemptive U.S. plans, according to multiple U.S. officials, depends centrally on consent of the South Korean government. The sources stress that Seoul has got to be persuaded that action is worth the risk, as there is universal concern that any military move might provoke a North Korean attack, even a conventional attack across the DMZ.


    So it is not like the US will strike on their own without consultation and agreement from S. Korea.

    Meh..

    North Korea is a problem that will sort itself at this point...

    These idiots are testing their nuclear weapons near Mount Paektu...

    That's like the US actively testing nukes in an underground base at yellowstone, lol.

    Considering the corporate overlords approve of war, yes. That's how we ended up with both Republican and Democrat senators applauding Trump's attack on Syria. Their owners told them to dance like good little monkeys so they danced. At best the democrats wagged their finger saying, "Good job, but ask us next time, please."

    Funny thing about being on alert, you can only do it for so long before you become lax. Other funny thing, at night your effectiveness goes down when not equipped with NVGs. So, again, they are more than capable of causing mass mayhem.

    Bush should be tried for war crimes, so yeah he did something preeetty illegal.

    Liberals are such idiotic morons. Everything you touch turns to crap and you still can't let go of your blind irrational thinking. Amazing.

    They have about 40 MiG-29s and about 100 MiG-23s, everything else is so outclassed by the US it isnt even funny.

We don't need to spend 3 trillion dollars on anything that isn't a direct threat to us, or our allies. At least, that is how I took his message to be.
    If theyre actually shooting a short-range missile then responding by shooting it down is more reasonable, we can't know the target so better safe than sorry.
    If it's just another one of their possibly fake tests, then going to war over it would be fucking dumb.

    A military strike against North Korea WILL reignite the war, a very very costly war at that which will cost untold lives and billions of dollars. Not to mention the humongous task of invading North Korea and taking charge of it, changing it from teh ground up after decades of indoctrination and poverty.

    We have trust of the others that have nukes. Do you equate the Best Korean government and say, France, in level of trustworthiness?
