Donald Trump has found out how difficult it is, since taking office. On the campaign trail, and even recently, he was all puffy chested, saying how he was going to take care of Kim. Well, what happened ? Trump would get all pissy with Kim and tell him he better knock it off, and Kim would fire off another missile, just to say "Yeah, watch this !"

This latest wrinkle with the H bomb is a real problem but one we knew was coming. He is Hellbent on having nuclear missile capability and is damn close. Let's see how your boy solves this one. One thing for sure, he better stop playing with his tweeter , stop golfing, knock off the rallies, and start concentrating on this very real threat.
The only thing that can be done at this point is to keep putting pressure on via China.

NK isn't gong to "go away" and there is no military solution that doesn't involve 5+ million dead.

It's been a long-running problem.

First thing I would do is to consider unilaterally declaring peace with NK. Just completely back off and see how they deal with having no "bad guy" for their horrific internal struggles.

We see eye to eye except for this one. Backing off will encourage him to maim and kill people. He has no internal gps on humanity. Its time to figure out a way to diminish our losses. If it were me, I would be moving out of South Korea and setting up shop in Australia or New Zealand.

Soon time will be up.

Default Potent Rocket Fuel for North Korea's ICBM's-How We Dropped the Ball

The US has long known about this potential bottleneck--but done nothing as either China or Russia has exported it to the North Koreans..now it may be to late to stop it.

Read the article , only one jab at President Trump.
"In public, at least, the Trump administration has been far more focused on ordinary fuels "

Looks that way. China or Russia better make it clear to the idiot running NK that the time for games is over, either sit down and start talking or he is a dead man. When the UN gives up on you then you are in real deep poo.
