Don't you think they would unleash a massive attack on South Korea if we start taking out their facilities.

Why not? They are your neighbors and you are your brother's keeper. Besides, the US created this mess in the first place, so the US should clean it up.
There would a lot to clean when both Koreas are reduced to rubble.

I wouldn't underestimate him in the stupidity department.

Start with "The President is meeting with the entire Senate, and y'all *****.
If he didn't meet with or alert them, then y'all would *****." being full of bitching and speculating and maybe you'll figure it out.

Actually people are concerned about the same thing they would either way. What takes the entire Senate? AND House? (The house is being scheduled for later that day apparently).

And...why doesn't he go to congress? Why does he try and shoehorn them into the white house?

Because if he does it there (congress) word spreads immediately is my guess. Or...he is just that self centered. But I'd guess the former, and hope for the latter. With the other 2 carriers nearby though....yeah.

Since when have our forays into other countries been based on or required reason?

Or has nothing to do and needs an audience to feel important. This definitely makes him feel important and powerful.

I don't know why he even needs to be at the meeting. Just let the smart guys fill in the Senate. He could have sent the head guys to the Senate. This is just more of Trump's hoopla productions and a chance to draw even more attention to himself.

This.

It is what i thought when i saw it. Why invite everyone other than a reichstag moment or a war.

It is also likely trump just wants to use it to claim he is reaching out and doing great things..

but who knows... maybe a bunch of dems and GOP folk should not go .......

and what a straight up 50,000 dead americans at the very least. and what about a dirty bomb revenge attack killing millions ...


and if you still dont care, understand our economy would take a massive hit, markets would dive and it would be at best 2008 all over again but this time with people much more angry.

Another data point. In addition to the carrier battle groups Nimitz, Reagan, and the Vinson the guided missile submarine USS Michigan is arriving in Korea tomorrow.

This is a serious amount of firepower, that can also be supplemented by the air force which has some serious firepower nearby as well..

Well...Trump does have us living in interesting times.
