We rise when agree. Can't we all just agree that war is stupid?

OK.
Let's say we do nothing and they fire off a nuke that smokes Honolulu? Or maybe they smoke Seoul? How about Tokyo?
What do we do then? Or would we only have some moral authority to act if they smoke Honolulu?
Let's say they hit Tokyo and vaporize a bunch of people and burn tens of thousands more. Do we have some moral imperative then to come try to help clean up the resulting disaster? Tend to the wounded and those dying of radiation poisoning, or should that be all on Japan's shoulders to do?
How about if they do that to Seoul, and then follow-up with an invasion? All South Korea's cross to bear then? Do we strand our guys on the border, or just pull them out and leave South Korea with no immediate means of defense against a North Korean army that is the only serious product of that nation?

I don't think you read the same post I did, because he wasnt championing Trump, he was pointing out how he's the same as the rest.

SJW is made up construct to enrage people into watch entertainment news so the outlets can make money. It's not real. There are no SJWs.

The problem is that even if they were just created by the entertainment-news conglomerates they've taken on a life of their own and now thrive en masse across the social media platforms. No media coverage is needed, they're going full throttle right now on Twitter, YouTube comments, Facebook, the chans, Reddit, here on ATS even.
I don't care for it but SJW is a perfectly viable phrase. Social Justice Warrior.
The SJW is one who is defending or even attacking something or someone because they feel some type of social injustice has occurred. They are protecting their concept of society by demanding that everyone else conform to it.
Hear me, fellow outsiders / purveyors of sanity, the battle to take down the Two Party System must begin now. We have a few years until the next election. If you think waiting until the last year, and then complaining about how the "third" parties have no chance, then they wont. And this isn't about what we're told is "conservatism", or "liberalism", it's about cutting out all the insanity. We all know what it all looks like, from both sides now. We seen it all after 8 years of Bush, and 8 years of Obama.
I think most of us are weary of the left petulant behavior

I don't see it as a debate. Kim Jong Un sunk the Cheonan and shelled YeonPyeong Do (there was a time when he was a four-star general and in command of the area where these two incidents took place). He's bringing a nuclear weapons program to maturity. He's working out the kinks in his ballistic missile programs. He's openly threatened the United States and her allies with Armageddon.
There's no doubt we should destroy his ability to make war ... or take hostile action against Seoul in petulant retaliation. The best way to do that is a strategic nuclear strike. Completely obliterate all North Korean military forces within 50 miles of the DMZ, destroy his ballistic missile labs, smash his nuclear testing facility.
I know I cross a line with some with these next thoughts. I'd go so far as to wipe PyongYang from the map. I'd attack and destroy China's strategic weapons programs in the same three-minute stroke. They've propped-up the Kim dynasty for 60+ years ... they should surely be made to pay for that as well.
