They didn't think they were lying either, that's the beauty of the delusion.

The fact that you actually believe that somehow you're doing some righteous public service warning us about WW3 coming is nothing short of some crackpot bible thumper predicting armagedon after prayin' to Jesus real hard like and of course taking up serpents that may have bit them in the head once or twice.

But no, that's those crazy evil people on the OTHER side, not you. No siree...you're not biased at all...you see everything clearly.

Note that if Kim Jong Un decided to strike the US first and the US retaliated, that would be totally justified. The US would destroy North Korea and the world would go on. What I am worried about is Trump striking first. Trump supporters haven't really considered what the implications would be. As I've said, it would affect the God-fearing American heartland just as much as it would the snowflake liberals.

For once, I hope that you're right about this.

China wins because it never liked Kim anyway, and now it has all of NK, most of SK, and many parts of japan is radioactive with huge numbers of japanese refugees leaving the japanese home islands for the US, Canada and Australia. China will be the undisputed master of all of Asia with its russian sidekick supplying it with hydrocarbon fuels. The US will look ridiculous while Trump pump his chest looking like he has won bigly. Bigly loser of the 21 century.
Not that a nuke strike is a good idea but this scenario is hyperbole. Japan has serious defensive capabilities.

tRump does the unthinkable every single day. Precisely why his followers love him. The way people behave today, a nuclear war might just be the answer.

It's not that he "does the unthinkable." He doesn't. He just doesn't play by the established "rules" of the elite "establishment." That's why we voted for him. He has American interests in mind, not globalist interests. He doesn't do things they way they have always been done. "We've always done it that way" is not his nature. Big things are accomplished by those who refuse to follow tradition.

Why would anyone think we would use nukes? We can easily defeat NK with conventional weapons, we simply do not need to use the nukes to win. I keep hoping we have a special forces option that could decapitate the NK government and destroy the weapons without a larger war.

Always interesting to hear people use the "logic" that the best idea to keep someone else from having a nuke is to nuke them first, then again I think some posters here truly are idiots .

Yes; but he is president and commander in chief of the USA, not CEO of a nut factory. Big difference.
