KJ has really only threatened us with nuclear annihilation, but Russia is boosting their missile defense system just in case one of NK's ICBM's go awry.

If we were going to do a pre emptive strike it would of had to happen years ago, now it's too late, cause KJ will send whatever he has to the mainland US.

How potent are North Korea's threats? - BBC News

Please read the entire article - it's very interesting but I can't post the whole thing here, only excerpts. Here are a few more:




South Korea is a booming economy based on capitalism. Seoul is an internationally acclaimed city with a population of over 25 MILLION people. That's a bigger population than our largest metro area, which is the NYC metro area. For some perspective, the LA metro area has about half the population as Seoul.

Yes, I'm a little more attuned to this region since my son lives with his Korean wife in Guam. Her family is all from the Seoul metro area. My son lived there for nearly five years. The people are truly wonderful people overall, very friendly and open and sophisticated. They revel in their capitalism and their techie society, but they are also extremely family oriented, which is why my son and his wife live in Guam - they wanted to be able to offer a safe haven for her brother and parents if all hell broke loose in South Korea - which is almost certainly bound to happen one day. Ironic, isn't it?
It's certain to happen if Trump attacks Pyongyang.

Is that what you're suggesting?

If not, what exactly are you suggesting?

This is scary, yesterday the Governor of Guam was downplaying the threat Today they are distributing information to residents on what do do in the case of a nuclear attack: http://www.inquisitr.com/4425458/guam-issues-fact-sheet-as-missile-threat-looms-warns-of-flash-fallout-and-hair-conditioner/

WTF is up with the poll question.

It is literally asking if you support invading/attacking a soverign nation.

What happens if another country "pre-emptively" struck USA?

Absolutely ludicrous.

If Trump attacks first, we will have Russia and China against us and it will be WW3 and USA will be the bad guys. And not to mention millions of innocent lives potentially lost

Time to muzzle Trump, and get the adults involved to sort out this mess. I hope Trump admin would resign if he gives the order. That would be the only way to prevent a nuclear holocaust.
He's not going to "give the order".

BTW, you are my new drinking game. Every time you write "impeach" or "resign", I take a shot.

Too late, China has already made their stand public on the matter, they did support the sanctions but they also stated that if We attack first they Will not stand by and do nothing. We are playing with the lives of Millions here, not a game to be taken lightly and with China in the mix along with Nukes all around those Millions at risk includes American, All Americans.
No, we are in a ceasefire with North Korea. As in "no shooting".

I hope she's not suggesting what alot of in the mainstream media is hyping up and Trump is alluding to.
But she's part of the problem in hyping up the fear and doomsday scenario.

Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

But of course, we know NK does have nukes which is absolutely terrible...this I agree. But as someone have said in another forum: McDonalds, Rock n Roll, and Porn have had FAR more success in invading other regimes than American soldiers/guns ever did.

President Trump should schedule a meeting with Kim Jung Un. Meet face to face (no US President has I believe). Its time to take this guy and regime seriously now that they have nukes. If it appears we are respecting them as a nuclear power NK may back down as that is probably all they want.
