This isn't about USA vs NK. Trump engaged Kim with verbal insults and it backfired. When a clown like Kim can make himself look cool in comparison, it's time to hold that L.

You're short sighted, but then, you're a conservative so that's to be expected.

• Assassinating Un makes assassinations of foreign leaders legal again. Guess which orange guy becomes HIGHLY vulnerable to assassination in the aftermath of such an act!

• Killing Un is no guarantee of a more moderate successor. In fact, the likelihood is that they'll be just as hellbent on furthering their nuclear missile program as Un is.

• The attempt on Un's life will probably fail and the assassin will end up getting caught and spilling the beans about the whole plan...embarrassing the United States in the process.


Wake up dude and turn off the action movies.

It's just the opposite from the way you see it. It is not about two morons and what they say. It is about two nations, one of which is threatening the entire planet and summarily torturing and killing its citizenry. It's also about one group of people who thinks that is just fine and another that, while not knowing quite what to do about it, is appalled. It is about sadism vs empathy and decency.

More common sense. Good reply.

Number one, I'm not a conservative. Number two, did you notice the photo I posted? Were the snipers US soldiers? Number three, I don't watch action movies--at least not that kind of action. Perhaps you'd care to join me in watching Somewhere in Time sometime...

If we had a president who acted with any form of empathy and decency, I would agree with you whole-heartedly. Instead we're at the mercy of two narcissistic idiots and political novices who keep threatening each other expecting the other to blink. John Kelly had his head in his hands during Trump's UN rant, because the situation can barely get any worse.

And does it take a policeman to assist a neighbor being tortured? You're sitting by the window gulping diet Coke and woofing Cheetos, watching Rachel Madcow ranting on TV, and you hear the neighbor lady scream. You glance out the window, see an assailant cutting her leg off and then looking at you, screaming "You're wife is next." You give them the finger and go back to watching Rachel. Are you sure the "Robber Baron" is more despicable than you are?
You must be talking about somebody else.

Well, if that's reason enough for you, why shouldn't Trump invade the DPRK right now?

If that's all it took to diffuse the situation, I'd go over there myself and sing love songs to his glory all the live-long day. But that's not all he wants, and anyone with two functioning eyeballs and more than a speck of common sense knows it.

He cares not the least little bit about his own people, else he'd be feeding them instead of making them eat tree bark and torturing them if they don't bow low enough while using the country's resources to fund more missiles. And he obviously doesn't care about his "fellow" Koreans south of the DMZ, or else he wouldn't keep threatening to turn Seoul into a "lake of fire." So what makes anyone think that he can be motivated to goodness if we just try harder, or if Trump stops insulting him?

There is one way, and one way only, that this is going to be resolved, and that's through force. The only real questions that remain are (1) what kind of force will be required; (2) when will it happen; and (3) how many innocent people will have to go down with him?

We have the technological ability to stop this latest nuke test. What we don't have is the political will to use it. But if the test goes off as planned -- and especially if casualties end up including more than some fish -- I suspect we'll find the will. And if there's one thing that the history of America's more successful wars has proven, when there's a will, there's a way. But the outcome won't be pretty.
