Doesn't our government have any more of those arsenic milkshakes, or exploding cigars? This guy would've been compost by now if he pulled this shit back in the sixties. Too many ways to get caught these days.

Wonder what would happen if a missile just appeared in the n korean sky, as if out of an invisible airplane, and destroyed the car carrying the nut king home from the next weapon test....

 

[BerettaGuy]

But to put it in another perspective, if a mentally imbalanced homeless guy kept threatening to burn your house down don't you think it would be prudent to take him seriously?

NO! We should tolerate him because he is homeless. Unless you call him a bum, then you take him out.

I'm seeing more and more articles regarding NK and I'm concerned something will happen in the near future. Most of the more recent stories and leaks are implying the US, Japan and South Korea are now more than ever considering first strike options and regime incapacation. I'm curious if this is deliberate to try and force fat boys hand into negotiating with us or what...

Who knows how this guy will behave or react if he genuinely feels cornered that his days are up.

[holdover]

I cant see N.Korea doing anything when they know they will be nuked, They cant win , with nothing to gain, and everything to lose. The US is moving assets in there , buts its just a arm twisting move. The US is saying to Kim Go ahead , Do it . Were calling his bluff . hes not going to do a god dam thing. and if he does , NK loses, big league .

This is a great overview of the complex web of interests and threats originitaing with North korea (and china)

Remember! "Doomsday" Passes Over America Several Times Every Day!

I still think china wants to use NK as the patsie to knock us out of the global cat bird seat. China can prod NK to knock us down significantly to where china would be the global dominant super power and the entire Pacific basin would be theirs for the taking, all while claiming plausible deniability.

 

[Burzum]

First, life is good if you are the elite class in North Korea as in the ones who call the shots, they are not about to self-destruct.

That stated, the US should have leveled North Korea during the 1960s, they (not Vietnam) were actually killing GIs provoking the US.

Point of fact, pre-war Vietnam wanted our help to draft a constitution but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO we had to stick with our Cold War ally, France, and end up murdering 68,000 Americans and likely well over a million Vietnamese during the Vietnam conflict, which did not have to happen, except LBJ was a total bag of feces.

Furthermore, we would not even have the North Korean problem if that a-hole MacArthur did not uselessly cross the Yalu River giving China the opportunity to enter the Korean War b/c we were threatening their power generators.

The take away; if you hate North Korea remember the next time you buy something from Communist China that North Korea exists because of them AND China enjoys a VERY cozy relationship with them; hate MacArthur because he was a total loser moron; and hate LBJ b/c the one Communist country that should have been obliterated was North Korea.

Exclusive: North Korea has no fear of U.S. sanctions move, will pursue nuclear arms - envoy

North Korea has nothing to fear from any U.S. move to broaden sanctions aimed at cutting it off from the global financial system and will pursue "acceleration" of its nuclear and missile programs, a North Korean envoy told Reuters on Tuesday.

This includes developing a "pre-emptive first strike capability" and an inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM), said Choe Myong Nam, deputy ambassador at the North Korean mission to the United Nations in Geneva.

Much out of North Korea is empty bluster, but there is a good reason to believe this. They are clearly aggressively pursuing nuclear armament. What is strange to me and I cannot explain is why they would publicly brag about it? It seems entirely believable, and it surely is true, so why antagonize? I never have thought NK believes it can actually turn the US to ashes or anything else. If they are smart enough to have some half-assed nuclear program they are at least smart enough to know what a real one is (like the US has).

I'm not sure whether anything can or should be done about NK but I am pretty sure that the window on being able to hit them is either very close to shut or is already shut. Neither of the past two administrations took this seriously other than saying that they wouldn't accept a nuclear north korea. Well guess what, you can jump out of a building and say you don't believe in gravity but you're hitting the ground regardless.

It's also frankly cruel that China is happy to keep NK as they are as a buffer against western interests and SK. The people there are being tortured en masse and literally enslaved as well. NK could be considered china's worst affront to human rights.

 

[holdover]

Heres why they are bragging about it.

TOKYO — Secretary of State Rex Tillerson issued a blistering attack on two decades of bipartisan attempts to deter North Korea's nuclear program, saying the Trump administration will have a new approach.

"The diplomatic and other efforts of the past 20 years to bring North Korea to a point of de-nuclearization have failed. So we have 20 years of failed approach," Donald Trump's top diplomat said during a visit to Japan on Thursday. "And that includes a period in which the U.S. provided $1.35 billion in assistance to North Korea as an encouragement to take a different pathway."

North Korea is telling the US to go suck a bag of dicks.

War with N korea means war with China . China And Russia are never going to allow US troops on its borders .The US can defend S Korea but it cannot invade the North without risking a world war.

What can the US do? put more sanctions on them? Nuclear war with China or Russia, We did everything we can short of all out war.

Troll the ever loving shit out of them by shooting down their rocket tests? Get real ballsy and use a stealth aircraft to drop leaflets over the test sights?? Send Democrats their way? I don't know, lol.

Assassinate fat boy.

I bet whoever replaces him is much more willing to be reasonable. Since we are technically still at war, and he is the CIC of the enemy, he is a legitimate target. You don't even need to break the rules like Obummer.

 

[Jmac00]

next time fat boy is at a missile test, nuke the site and blame the detonation on a defective missile launch .....ooops, poor engineering has accidentally killed lots of people

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Here's another article somewhat outlining why there is a chance our next war will be against NK.

Cliff notes.
Trump does not want NK to have nuclear armed ICBMs. Far boy sees nuclear armed ICBMs as his only means of survival to stave off regime change. These 2 views are mutually exclusive.

All 100 Senators Invited to White House for North Korea Briefing

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top Trump administration officials will hold a rare briefing on Wednesday at the White House for the entire U.S. Senate on the situation in North Korea, senior Senate aides said on Monday.

All 100 senators have been asked to the White House for the briefing by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the aides said.





While top administration officials routinely travel to Capitol Hill to address members of Congress on foreign policy and national security matters, it is unusual for the entire 100-member Senate to go to such an event at the White House, and for those four top officials to be involved.

And the rhetoric is picking up again...

Military option for North Korea being prepared for Trump, McMaster says

No more chit-chat with North Korea: Amb. Bolton

Sooner or later this will have to be resolved somehow.

Trump has repeatedly said he won't allow NK to have the capability to harm the US.

fat boy is on record saying he will never give up his nuclear weapons and will keep developing missile capability.

If both of these guys mean what they say conflict with military involvement is the only possible outcome.


Time will tell if they are serious or just posturing and bluffing.

 

[holdover]

Well, if given the option the Chinese may do it for us . The can choose between US troops on their border, go to war with the US, or take out NK and have their troops on the NK border.

The best outcome for China is to do it themselves. Going to war with the US or NK isn't much of choice. or they can sit back and allow NATO troops on their border,(and Russias border)

Worse case for US is if they have to go in and do it . Im sure they will be counting on using mostly SK ground forces supported by the full weight of American naval and airpower.

 

[STS556]

A few of my friends were talking about this a few nights ago. Obviously Trump or any other nation does not want to harm innocent people by dropping bombs on North Korea. NK has a huge military because the military members are treated better than the average citizen over there so they are forced into it for a better life. I would guess with the possibility of becoming a free country if the little Fat Boy is gone, some high ranking NK military members would be more than happy with a little financial donation in American currency to lead a squad of US snipers within reach of the target. That could be one possible scenario that may work.
