No. We don't want to use nukes against any country, especially one that has nukes itself. We have them so we don't have to use them.

I'm so sorry, excuse the parochial ignorance of some of these posters on CD.

I come from a several generation naval family. My dad was born in Guam in 1920. My grandmother would tell me stories of early Guam and how kind the people were. She was bitter because many of her Chamorros friends were killed by the Japanese during WWII. I have all her photo albums of those early days.

About a year before she died at 96, she started speaking what we all thought was gibberish. My dad visited and told us she was speaking Chamorro. She lived in Guam from 1919 until 1932 while my grandfather was out on various naval cruises. She had a deep affection for Guam.

No. but I would support a satellite mini drone right down his throat while eating his wonton soup . Sublime elimination . What. Who. Don't know what you talking about China. Cousin China right there like big bro.

I noted this before. My niece is teaching in SK. Her sister taught there before her and was there last month visiting her sister.

They note that SK isn't concerned over NK. They know it's all bluster.

I have to believe they are far more concerned that we will do something stupid as that is what we do.

I think yes, if they could ignite it directly over Fat Kid's head.

Another thing Obama kicked down the road for the next President. We could dealt with them before they had this capability if we would have had some kind of a leader here.
