No I did not ignore that. I said we would not stand for the huge loss of life a war with nothing to gain would take.

IMO, I don't think China is willing to go to war again with the USA to protect the NK dictatorship. This isn't the 1950s and hence they have no military solution but bodies they can throw at it, and Mao isn't running things there now.
So true. Your "moochelle" and "hiliary" names were so much more mature.

for Waldo

China=1.34 billion residents, followed by India with 1.19 billion. The United States is a distant third with 311.1 million people.
push come to shove --would India side with the US??
I don't think it really matters.

What matters is that N.K. situation is not all doom and gloom. I don't think we are going to attack NK first, so there is nothing to worry about, YET.

China would try to win a war and become #1.

Ahh. So you are back to the "I hate Trump" mode. In other words, you have nothing to say about the topic at hand if it doesn't support that.

Shame really.

Russia, India, Iran, and others would like nothing more than bring down the dollar as the official mode of trade. One can argue that bringing them all together to achieve that goal would not be easy but if it happened, we become Venezuela.

So you are now making argument over what 320,000,000 would think if the USA was attacked by an enemy.

Maybe you should look back at 9/11 & Pearl Harbor. If NK hits Guam and kills American citizens, then it's all over for NK. The communists in China and the Trump haters won't change this.

And if China did decide to get involved, it would not go well for them at all.

This was a very touching moment. We should all stand behind Guam.

We were told that about the last guy also. What's that tell you?
