Say Trump gets elected, and in 2017, a bomber pilot carrying an atomic bomb starts circling above Pyongyang.

Trump and the pilot are on a conference call together, and they put in a call to Kim Jong Un.

Trump to Un:

"Hey Kimmy ol' buddy ol' pal, we hear you're interested in acquiring a nuclear weapon. Well check THIS out!"

*Fighter pilot pulls lever*

Meanwhile, in outer space:

Astronauts: "Houston we have a problem. It appears that an entire region in the Middle East is covered in some type of dense, white, erm, blanket if you will, any idea what we are seeing up here?"

Houston "Let me check on that for you. Um.....the darndest thing.....we're getting reports that the entire population of Iran are, in unison, waving white flags."

Clever. Little morbid, but I chuckled. Uncertainly. Nuclear bombs aren't really funny.

China has long been a benefactor to North Korea and is its primary foreign ally, though the two countries have diverged over Pyongyang's development of nuclear weapons and disruptive regional policies.

Trump said China should solve the problem (north Korea), otherwise, he will make trade very difficult for China. This seems to be Trump's solution.

Republicans have been pressing for protective tariffs on China for years.

And by the way, even the Chinese don't really want anything to do with North Korea anymore, as far as Military alliances go.

The Chinese are NOT dumb enough to get involved militarily against the US.

I have a little different take on it.

Let's really give them one. Then maybe the government there will blow itself up trying to figure out how to use it.

You thought it was meant to be a joke?

A North Korean regime wanting to attack America and conquest their Free and developed neighbor to their south is a "little morbid."

Stopping them before they can do that is a little protecting our ally and our national security.

It will be too late once they successfully develop one. Last thing we need is a MAD situation kicking in with North Korea. We can't intervene in Russian conquests in places like Ukraine and Georgia because of MAD. Imagine what we "won't be able to do" with a nuclear armed North Korea.

The time to stop them is NOW.

Same with Iran, and Obama's JOKE of a "deal."

Yes, I have a "deal" for you Iran. You either INSTANTLY halt your programs and allow inspections on OUR terms, or we blow your country to Kingdom come.

They would either take the deal, or what happens next would take about 72 hours, and they damn sure wouldn't matter anymore.

Like Marco Rubio said, Iran released the hostages during Reagan's inauguration speech because they sensed that America was no longer under the leadership of someone weak. I have a feeling Iran will come to the same conclusion in the event that Trump succeeds Obama.

It's already too late. North Korea has nukes and missiles to deliver them.

Just recognize that once you start aggressively terrorizing other countries with annihilation in order to meet your demands..then you have become the terrorist that you claim to criticize and oppose. At some point down that path, you're no different than Hitler or any other thug.

Bomber Pilots? That's 1950s stuff.

These days......

A submerged and almost undetectable ballistic sub on the other side of the planet, say in the Atlantic Ocean, can launch a single MRV'd SLBM, and simultaneously level 14 North Korean cities a few minutes later. There is absolutely no defense and I'd say the North Koreans lack the technology to even know it was incoming.

Then call can be placed.

Do you understand much of anything about North Korea? They're like a chihuahua. It barks pretty loud but all they can do is nip at your ankles.

As for the rest of your fear mongering, well..I'm not gonna justify it with a rebuttal.
