In light of N. Korea firing another test missile, what's your take on how little Kim should be handled?
They've been warned so many times that I think more aggressive measures are needed. The practical side of me is thinking all those test missiles being fired into the ocean can't be good for ocean life and eventually one will be used against neighboring countries, accidentally or not.
I'm ok with letting them see how a nuclear bomb works, up close. BOOM! Bye fat boy.
Get them before they get us? It may come down to that. Those longer range missiles can reach us one day at the rate he's testing them. Trump taunting them on Twitter is only going to spur them on further. I'm wondering at what point do we say, enough is enough and go in after Kim.
Nothing. At least not yet. Threatening nuclear war, which is what you'd inevitably be doing, over a test is stupidly dangerous. Not really because NK is close to being able to fire off a long range nuclear bomb, but because China is already able to do that. China doesn't want a nuclear war anymore than any one else, but they will still, for some archaic and ridiculous reasons, defend NK from the rest of the world. If NK does indeed get a long range weapon functioning, the stakes are higher. Pissing off that man child, who makes Donald Trump seem like a dignified philosopher king, is made much less funny if he can detonate a nuke over DC or NY or LA, where millions of people could be killed almost instantaneously, and millions more as radioactive material poisons our food, water, and air.
People need to understand; the threat of nuclear annihilation didn't go away after, as some view it, Ronald Reagan killed all the Communists with the power of Jesus and freedom. It's still around and virtually unchanged, except now, there are more countries with more powerful bombs. I've heard it put this way; when you've had a gun pointed at your head long enough, you'll eventually stop noticing it's their... and when you were born with it pointed at your head, you don't even understand that it doesn't have to be there. When I hear people, some of whom are probably old enough to remember at least the final chapter of the Cold War, so callously throw around the solution of "nuking" someone, be it ISIS or NK, I can't help but think: that person is a ****ing idiot.

North Korea will never attack anyone. They know they'd lose. The whole purpose of North Korea having nuclear weapons is so no one will attack them, they can receive money from foreign countries with no strings attached, and most importantly so the ruling class can remain in power.

China still defends NK because they do not want an American-allied unified Korea with U.S. troops within its borders on their doorstep.

You don't understand.
They are not RATIONAL - they DO NOT CARE if they lose. They would love to go down as the country that caused untold harm to the US imperialists. Even if it killed ALL of their starving people. Fat Boy will of course not get cooked in the retaliation.
I hope he starts a war with them so he can be impeached
sorry not grounds for impeachment. according to the law the president can wage war for 90 days before having to go to congress for continued funding. if war was a reason for impeachment, then every president since carter should have been impeached.
Rodman's little buddy can already land a nuke on my head any time he wants. So whatever you do, be sure to make it so he can't do anything back... and wait till the wind is blowing out of the east.

North Korea is extremely rational. They just want to the rest of the world to think they're irrational as a bargaining chip. Have you wondered why they don't actually attack anyone?
