He's playing games and to me this is not a time to play games...or he's serious and that's scary.

Either way -- lose, lose ....
It is a left - right issue as you demonstrate. Lose, lose. That is consistently the position of the left. If Trump does this he loses. If he does the opposite he loses. He is always presented in a no win for him position regardless of what he does.
Why would anyone listen to someone who admits they can't figure out what is said or meant by what is said ?

Please point out anyone who wants this.

I thought so.

You simply created a topic to bash Trump and anyone who supports him. Nothing more too it than that.



IF you really want to talk about the prospects of a nuclear war, then drop the Trump Derangement and especially the commentary about 10s of millions of people you don't know. But I don't think you have it in you.

This is what they said.

Do I think they would actually fight with us? No, but they would "intervene", maybe talking? LOL

That is what would happen.
China's leadership isn't going to do something that will lead to the deaths of hundreds of millions of its people, and surely not on behalf of NK. China isn't going to fire nukes at us.

China may intervene in a conventional war, but not a nuclear war.

I know what China's state paper says.

But my question is what would China do? You and the communists that write that paper don't seem to have an answer to that.


If the US Military is ordered to take out NK, then China won't do squat because it knows if it tries, the costs to them would be extremely high.

Lightbulb Are you scared of nuclear war?

Nope.

Get real.

Of all the nations on earth, the one least likely to be attacked is the USA.

Even a little tinpot tyrant like Kim completely understands that a launch on America means he and his fellow Norks die in minutes and their "country" becomes an uninhabitable wasteland for decades. No more goose stepping parades, no more imported western porn flicks, no more "adoring crowds."

Besides, we have systems in place to knock down whatever NK can muster.

NK is a threat to the US like I'm a threat to one of those UFC fighters.

So, take a deep breath and relax.

Everybody should be scared of nuclear war. I think Carl Sagan once made a calculation that all it would take to wipe out humanity would be a "limited" nuclear exchange targeting only 100 cities. That would be enough to start a nuclear winter.

They would "intervene", that is what they said.

This is their official talk. My guess is that they would keep on negotiating, maybe selling weapons to NK like they always do.
