You may not realise this but the plans to nuke korea have been put forward to the American people years ago and was met with condemnation, times have changed eh, and so has the education system...is there a correlation there ...?

Eisenhower wanted to nuke NK in 1953.
WASHINGTON: The United States considered using nuclear weapons against China in order to defend India in the 1960s but option was questioned in internal debates on two counts:
.................................................................................
Declassified tapes from National Security Council meetings during the Kennedy administration show the US President and his key advisors grappling with the Chinese threat in a meeting to discuss how to defend India. The tape recording is dated May 9, 1963, suggesting the debate was an afterthought because the India-China border war had ended in November 1962.
During this debate, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Maxwell Taylor urge President Kennedy to look beyond India and undertake a broader view of how to deal with any substantial Chinese aggression...
Summary? There will be no war unless Trump jumps the gun. If he does, it might be one of the greatest mistakes of his Presidential career.

The problem is that South Korea especially, and possibly Japan, would suffer many casualties if war were to occur.

What I find interesting, is we hear almost if not completely NOTHING about his generals, or his scientists or his advisors. I don't go looking for that information but certainly none of it has come my way.
And just how controlled are the North Korean's.? Are they all caught up in hero worship? All the smaller bosses around him. Aren't there any who are thinking about tossing him? It's complex.
I keep thinking about the witch in the Wizard of Oz. How when Dorothy tossed the water and the witch got wet and just dissolved? I thought for sure that the rest of the grisly lot, the scary army guys would just kill Dorothy and the gang. Rather they celebrated because now, they were free to.
The witch had ''magic'' to control the army. What does he have? He doesn't. Just how tight could the mind control be in that country anyway that somebody, hell, anybody hasn't just popped him by now. Can't any of them see the dangers he presents?

Ya know what? Me too!!
Remember: It was Kim, Jong Un that sank the CheoNan and laid down an artillery barrage on YeongPyong Do. I guess those actions were fine by you. No one got killed that you knew. Right?

If the United States acted against North Korea, they could obliterate all life from the DMZ to 50 miles north in minutes. North Korea wouldn't even be able to react.
Are you worried about China? China could be stripped of her strategic military capabilities in a mere three minutes. Their abilities to carry out conventional military operations ended in about five minutes.
Are you worried about the Russians? The Russians wouldn't give a hoot. Especially once they figured out the entirety of the rest of the world was focused negatively on them exclusively. I think they'd learn to have some manners. LOL

That is a mighty attitude sir.
Kim Jong Un is a little puppet, just a tool in all this.

Posturing or not, little kimmy needs to stop playing and throwing out threats. I have no sympathy for NK or its sheeple if targeted force is used. I feel the collateral damage in JP and SK would be very minimal at most, if done right.
I think it's the perfect time to take out kim and his regime. And i for one hope Mr. Trump does this.
Star given but no idea how to flag.
