... with the whole thinking it's smart to preemptively nuke China and North Korea.
It's not just smart to preemptively nuke China and North Korea ... it's prudent. It's the only way to keep 'them' from keeping the South Koreans hostage or slaughtering them out of spite to teach 'us' a lesson.
ETA: Also, the ones mentioned in my link are all far south of the DMZ. Which either proves my point about your words being suspect, means your "buddy" helped build numerous facilities in North Korea (since South Korea is south of the DMZ), or someone's telling a tall tale right now.
As for tall tales ... I don't lie to people. It's too hard for an old guy to keep up with lies.

You, OTOH, abide by a religion that promotes lying to infidels ... don't you?

The Chinese are the bad guys here and President Trump would do well to obliterate them along with the North Koreans.

And I believe there's no other reason President Trump and his cabinet have waited this long. There's a legal war President Trump can Finish. If he does it right, not a single allied entity has to lose their life. If you're in China and you're reading this ... get out as fast as you can. Congress is in Recess and President Trump can do anything he damn well pleases where the Korean War is concerned.

I think it can safely be said that that sort of thinking is rather extreme.

Opportunity to what? Kill millions on maybe?
Quite frankly, I'm tired of the United States spending its treasure and blood on other peoples issues. Bombing a country on a maybe just isn't something we should be even contemplating, much less doing. Especially when nuclear weapons are involved. Let's not forget that we have allies down wind.
BEIJING — China demanded Wednesday that the United States immediately withdraw new sanctions on companies and individuals trading with North Korea, saying that such punitive measures will damage Sino-U.S. ties.
The Treasury Department imposed sanctions Tuesday on 10 companies and six people from China and Russia that it said had conducted business with North Korea in ways that advanced the country’s missile and nuclear weapons program.

we have them ringed with THAAD,Patriots and can very likely hack their first gen guidance systems,so yes they get that move and when it fails.
Excellent point. But if we strike down their missiles it is an act of war none the less.
We have a few more ahemmm...defense satelites and such protecting this area?

Thank you. Lets hope common sense prevails. It amazes me that people cant or wont look at the human cost of returning injured vets and senseless loss of life of non-combatants.

There's no doubt what is about to occur won't be remembered as war. There aren't going to be two armies meeting on the battlefield and spilling blood.
What's going to happen is going to be sudden. The North Korean Military's ability to threaten Seoul with conventional weapons shelling is going to disappear. The North Korean's ability to launch a ballistic missile ... gone. The amount of destruction this requires ... merely a footnote in the pages of history.
The fun part comes out of China's state run news agency: Global Times. They put China's strategy out as: If North Korea strikes first - We'll do nothing. But, if the US puts down the threat (like one would a rabid dog) - Then they'll retaliate against America.
Chinese paper says China should stay neutral if North Korea attacks first
"It needs to make clear its stance to all sides and make them understand that when their actions jeopardize China's interests, China will respond with a firm hand," said the paper, which does not represent government policy.
China hopes the International Community has forgotten where sides were drawn during the Korean War. President Trump surely knows. Nikki Haley surely knows.
