No attack on NoKo will happen without SoKo's approval. Look to Seoul for updates.

But it's Trump.

WW3 wont start. China have pretty much disavowed North Korea.

As for Guam and Australia, i am pretty sure they are safe, north korean missle tec is poor at that range, but yes Seoul and Japan are at risk.
Problem is the longer the world waits to deal with North Korea the more destructive there WMD get and the longer range and more accurate there missles get.
There is no ideal option here, either hundreds of thousands die now or millions in the future.

Warnings against what exactly?
NK is not part of any IAEA treaties, or UN treaties.

What have they actually done against the US?

Every other month they threaten to rain down nukes on the USA, Japan and south Korea!

Threatening to preemptively strike another country with nuclear is a serious matter!
Plus the USA and North Korea are still at war so It is also a incredibly stupid thing to do!

And as they say stupid people win stupid prizes!

Trump (barely) won the election. People are scared.

Mate, any percentage "over" the amount needed is wasted effort. A win is a win a pass is a pass......


Yes I am scared I built a house last year in the Philippines for my retirement and Nuclear fallout is not covered on my house insurance, time to look at radiation suits..

EDIT, My wife has a number of friends in South Korea I just got her to fire off a few messages to see what they make of it.....

You would think China would take care of their neighbor.

Or the country with the most nukes and has actually used them in warfare would just let other nations free to ramp up their defense arsenal....
I would Google how many Nuke tests the US has performed in the past decade, but there's no point. We're the ones writing history...

Our allies in the region are crapping their pants over North Korea, I guess we should just let them deal with it on their own? Maybe we should wait until Seoul or Tokyo is nuked, and hundreds of thousands are killed, would you then be OK with the US taking action against NK? Our allies are on our side, and as long as China is on board, we should do what we can to keep nukes out of North Korea, or eventually Lil Kim will use them.

I would crap my pants when it comes to a country which dropped the biggest non nuclear bomb just to kill "32" 'terrorists'

a reply to: odzeandennz


One bomb bothered you but the 26k bombs dropped last year didnt?

Those threats are only 'made' every time they let the US know not to pry in their affairs.
Do you know how many weapons tests the US performed last year?

Yeah great idea attack a nation without any UN charter or international law on your side on a national day of celebration.

I wonder if they produce SPF 10,000 sunblock up there. LOL

I'm sorry, but the North Koreans have repeatedly said they're going to nuke the US. They need to be made an example of. I hope the whole lot of them are outside and get to experience 'the flash'.

If it happens, I'll damn near guarantee we're not going to hear another peep out of the Ayatollah over there in Iran.

Saved you the trouble of looking.

Last US nuclear test was in 1992, just prior to the adoption of the Test Ban Treaty. Well over a decade. FYI.

What makes you think 26k bombs didn't bother me, or did you just make that comment to 'catch' me?

Did I just ruin your day?

All the usual political, ethical, and logical factors that normally exist to keep some sort of lesser evil balance from tipping into chaos are increasingly irrelevant with Trump in the sandbox.

We're screwed.

Then prove otherwise. Feel free.

With no civilians killed. Yeah, truly horrible. I'm sure Lil Kim will show the same level of courtesy and care.

I just want to know why this one bothered you so much.

Good. People wouldn't have to act scared if they didn't act the ass in the first place.

I say, "Give the world reason to behave yourselves. America has been cowed into being Politically Correct for far too long.

Dont develop irrational exuberence just because two groups of bastards got bombed that have no real way to fight back you are about to engage a nation with a standing army of 1.1 million with 6 million reserves that can make a hell of a mess of the area.

Well why don't we all wait for the compelling satellite images of NK and their nukes , like the US always seems to get their hands on before they 'free' a nation.

NK with a nuke is more likely to extinguish on itself based on past 'weapons' tests failures.

I believe its next to the baby milk factory where the mobile biological warfare units are parked.
