He was right back then.
Shocking.

Not really. NK has been a problem for us for a long time.

If I was running a country and looked at my southern border being occupied with 35k troops from a foreign country that had a hand in the deaths of 600k of my countries civilians during the Korean War, I'd be wary too. Not saying North Korea was an innocent bystander in the Korean War either.

We left Vietnam and it worked out, we should leave Korea too.

Not sure if this story got lost with all the other news or if someone posted it on a different thread. Newsweek updated it yesterday. I am worried about this "axis" forming around North Korea.

Syria and North Korea, two leading opponents of U.S. foreign policy that are also considered sponsors of terrorism by the State Department, have gotten increasingly close as an international axis opposed to Washington and its allies grows more influential across the globe.

We should treat North Korea the way Israel treated Egypt in 1967.

They may ally, but to what effect? They won't like us at the UN?

Bush warned of an Axis of evil years ago. I'm surprised Iran wasn't mentioned in this article as part of that axis. Obama opening up Cuba put us in harm's way 90 miles off our coast. If one of these countries tries to arm Cuba or stage troops their it's all out war and we would be justified in defending ourselves. These situations have been brewing for decades. How this can be blamed on Trump is a fantasy of the left and Bush 43. Trump may have to finish what past President's ignored.

Iran was mentioned 11/24/17. This is why we need diplomatic talks to continue now.

Do you realize how serious this is? There is no winning here, just degrees of losing. We have been at peace for a long time. It's a delicate thing. Good thing Gen. Mattis understands that. Message board opinions don't matter thank god.

I thought Hillary was the war monger? Geez people, I have vet friends and another friend who's son died in Afghanistan. NOBODY wants this. Thought many of you were onto the military industrial complex anyway. Guess not
