ONLY a fool or someone who has NO idea, gets their kicks making fun of US combat strength or its use.
MUCH less laughing at us outright.
We take the sky and it's ALWAYS over.
I DO expect Kim to pop an underground nuke however maybe more.

You don't know SK very well do you? The THAAD system will most likely be removed by the next SK president. It has nothing to do with your scapegoat the liberals.
True, we can leave SK and move the THAAD to Japan...lol
Let SK handle what comes on their own...

Is General James "MAD DOG!" Mattis in charge of all this? If so, it will be surgical, overwhelming and deadly...for Kimmy boy.

This whole thing from the start has been a confusing mess. It's hard to know WHAT to believe. I've said it over and over. Regardless of whether or not NK can strike the U.S. much less Japan is debatable.
ALL sides agree that SK is in danger, however. All sides agree that NK has continued threatening the U.S. and Sk/Japan with nukes, over and over. This has gone on for the duration of the 21st century.
All sides agree that it's not clear the true capabilities of NK, only that they are TRYING their damnedest to get ICBMS capable of reaching the U.S. and WILL use them once capable. Multiple accounts of NK defectors have confirmed this.
Diplomacy has been tried. Sanctions have been tried. NK refuses to budge on this.
A coup has been foretold for many years, yet has failed to happen. Kimmy killing his relatives is likely a big reason why.
Most people would have NO problems with a sovereign nation having nukes as a deterrence, if they didn't threaten and PROMISE to use them in first strike scenarios day in, day out, for over a DECADE now.
NK has shelled SK islands in the recent past. Blown up SK boats, kidnapped people from the U.S. and abroad for over a DECADE.
NK continues to test ICBMS and NUKES, while threatening to use them, creating propaganda videos SHOWING their desire to use said nukes on the U.S. over and over. (See DPRK youtube videos)
I totally dig Ron Paul, and I subscribe to his philosophy of "get the job done and get out". That's what needs to be done in NK. I do not subscribe to intervention in most other cases, but this one. THIS one, could be a REALLY big problem if nothing is done about it. I'm talking 5-10 years down the road when NK could actually have the capacity to nuke mainland U.S. cities.
People need to start using more common sense. Something has to be done. Quickly.

I kinda agree that it is more likely to be Chinese troops on the ground apart from special forces operations. I believe that there is an understanding between the Chinese PM and TRUMPY and they are in prep mode waiting for the trigger that they have agreed. In the meantime all efforts possible will be done to try and get a peaceful solution, hence TRUMPY'S statements. However, any peaceful solution will have to include a nuke free Korean Peninsula has the Chinese have stated. And if they have said this then that's there goal and if China has such an objective then the only way to achieve it is with the US's help which is indicative that some form of understanding has been established!
Now its a waiting game.......................................................and Kimmy has his decision to made. Either cease the nuke work and agree to a nuke free Korean Peninsula for accept his fate and that of his dwarf sized big hatted turd coloured uniformed cohorts!
Mind you if you listen to Brian Becker at 7.40, NK and Kimmy are almost wonderful.....

Can we defend ourselves without U.S. forces? The South excels the North in the size of economy many times and is more than double it in terms of population. So the answer to this question is yes, we can.
Trump has cajoled and coerced Chinese President Xi Jinping into betraying its blood-sealed ally since their April summit in Trump's Mar-a-lago resort in Florida. Xi and his country look as if they are behaving like a well-trained bear jumping at every instruction given by their master, Trump.

Great idea, don't honor your alliance!
After all, who needs honor and integrity, right?

I agree with you. Seems though that many South Koreans, including this journalist, think they can protect themselves from North Korea. On top of that, this guy mocks the way Trump has gotten China to become more involved in controlling the actions of "fat boy." If this is how the majority of South Koreans feel, I say pull out all our troops from South Korea. Let the South Koreans keep the arms they have actually purchased from us and let THEIR troops operate them. I'm sick and tired of seeing the United States stick our neck out to help our allies, only to see them belittle and back stab us. Screw them!
