Chinese? The Russians are by far the biggest threat and they are not as tied to our economy, heck the Chinese are not even third in that category.

All this crap is completely unnecessary. Find peace on the Penninsula. Let the Koreas do it, it's none of Americas business.
Your correct that the North is nothing without China and Russia more so China south Korea would never be what it is today without the assistance of the US my bet is China, Soviet Union would have made the entire Peninsula under the control of the Kims if the US didn't step in .

So you and Donnie boy go over to NK and get in their faces and tell them to "bring it"!! I admit I'd fork over $100 for PPV to see THAT!!


I'm guessing you'd prefer your badazz President to send OTHERS to back up his "alpha-talk"


Easy to act tough when you don't have any skin in the game. Suit up and go show the world how tough the average American God-loving, gun-toting, flag waving "Patriot" is!

I guarantee the politicians here in America hoping to solve this problem aren't going to be anywhere near the front lines.

MATTIS warns that "storm clouds are gathering" in the Korean Peninsula.

They're getting ready now.

Yes they are. Trump has been provoking North Korea for months because Republicans love wars and can't help themselves. North Korea will be Trump's Iraq.

I'm impressed with the dysfunction that your viewpoint represents.

The crazed man in N. Korea is launching missiles over Japan and you blame our President. He did so long before Trump was in office...and yet you blame the President. There were apologists for Hitler as well so I guess I should not be impressed.

If Trump gets us into a war with North Korea, yes, I will blame Trump. North Korea is a mess, not enough food, the people underfed and physically small and many are drug addicted. We don't need to resort to war but IMO Trump will consider it "presidential" because he's small-minded and the opposite of a statesman.

"My main business was selling ice. I think that 70 or 80 percent of the adults in Hoeryong city were using ice. My customers were just ordinary people. Police officers, security agents, party members, teachers, doctors. Ice made a really good gift for birthday parties or for high school graduation presents. It makes you feel good and helps you release stress, and it really helps relations between men and women. My 76-year-old mother was using it because she had low blood pressure, and it worked well. Lots of police officers and security agents would come to my house to smoke, and of course I didn’t charge them — they were my protection. They would come by during their lunch break, stop by my house. The head of the secret police in my area was almost living at my house."

LIFE UNDER KIM JONG UN
Recent North Korean escapees relate how the secretive country has changed under the “Great Successor.”

I’m more prepared than most people but less prepared than a small amount of others.

I have prepared for any number of man made or natural disasters.

I know that I need to take care of my family and not expect the government to do so.

I live on a lake. I have water purification systems, months worth of food and the ability to get more food.

I hope I never have to use my insurance, but I’m glad I have it.

My desire is to one day throw it all away and say, “ Well, that was a waste of a very tiny portion of the money I’ve made.”
