Wow, here we go with this tripe & BS again.
North Korea isn't hurting anything but
some peoples manipulated to believe
falsehoods of delusion and fear.
So there may be other powers at work, but I don't think so - I think NK is rogue, on their own. They are involved a lot more with illicit dealings that make their money, than with oil, gas, defense, etc.
There are no delusions - not sure what you are talking about. They are literally launching missiles on a regular basis, including ICBMs, are touting nukes, HAVE nukes, and have threated to nuke the U.S. The only delusion is you thinking it's impossible for them to actually launch a successful attack. They will be able to at some point, it's guaranteed. All nuclear countries went through the same stages. Why would you think they'll stall out and never actually successfully develop and test nukes that can reach anywhere in the world? It will happen. Just a question of when.
While I am not pro-war with NK, I think many countries need to get very serious with Kim and Co. One issue is when a lot of their money is generated in ways that sanctions can't touch, it's difficult to nail them down. China seems reluctant to help. Options are running out.
You can't stick your head in the sand forever, and just keep hoping for the best. At the point they can attack any country with nuclear weapons, it is too late. Why would you wait until that point to do something?
I agree. Diplomacy would be preferable if it would only work, but with NK it has not and will not work. Sanctions don't work either.

Good.
Probably the only thing I will support the Trump Administration doing. North Korea is the only country in the world that would benefit from the USA's imported democracy.
The whole thing could be over in a day or two if they do it right. Special forces, targeted drone and surface to air strikes.
You want to be seen as liberators? Those people will love you.

It is not, and never has been about anything other than NK being a buffer between China and an Americanized South Korea.
This dumb-ass either doesn't get it, or wants to have him a war to call his own, but you don't want one of those with China.

...And we will be reminded once again that China does not want a US friendly Korea on their border.
Is this administration just fricking DUMB?...
I would have to answer yes to that.

Does anyone honestly believe that if the US attacks North Korea...... that there is going to be any sort of retaliation?
Dont you think that knowing what we know....... any pre-emptive strike is gonna be be of such scale that life as they know it will come to an end.... immediately.
This is going to be about showing Iran that no matter how big and bad you think you are...... you're not.

President Donnie Dumbass tweets America's response
"North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life? Hard to believe that South Korea....."
"....and Japan will put up with this much longer. Perhaps China will put a heavy move on North Korea and end this nonsense once and for all!"
Yep. President Huff and Puff Scowling Face lays out America's policy.... "Perhaps China will put a heavy move on North Korea and end this nonsense once and for all!".... a "heavy move".... like T's still thinking about his CNN-WWE tweet....
And if Xi doesn't understand, POTUS Dumbass will no doubt send him his CNN-WWE gif but with Xi's face superimposed on T's face, and "KOREA" in place of "CNN". ....Does this guy have anything better to do with his life?
President Dumas, Korea strides toward a missile capable of hitting Alaska and Hawaii, and you sound like a man who wants this "nonsense" to end, so you can get back to golfing, watching tv and tweeting, and campaigning. Yep, you continue to scowl and tweet tough, you cowardly snake.

Donald J. Trump has more guts than you ever will. To call him cowardly is not even close to the reality that he took on the world and has not backed down.
Show me someone with more guts today.

Trouble is, you are dealing with a dictator that is a few french fries short of a happy meal. He is predictable in the fact that he purposefully tries to provoke someone that can wipe him out, but unpredictable as to what crazy disaster he could pull off if he ever sees it coming.
