Lol...the hysteria in this thread is really awesome.

OMG! Nuclear War!

This reminds me of the freak-out threads when there was "breaking news" about Obama's birth certificate.

The Olympic Committee chose South Korea over France and Germany in 2011.

Japan was chosen to host the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Was this a bribery situation?

A friend was on a team when Carter cancelled. She will never forgive Carter no matter what the reason was.

The athletes need to figure a way to go if they want to.

If we "just nuke NK", there would be no Olympic cames in SK. Do you think atletes would go anywhere near the area to be harmed by radiation that would be spread in that region? SK would be poisoned by the radiation too, especially the parts of SK closest to NK.

China's miliary is THREE times as large us the United States military. A war with China is almost guaranteed if we "just nuke NK". The United States could lose a war against China. We could end up being citizens of China after it's all over, with our assets seized and given to the Republic of China.

Be careful what you wish for.
No one is wishing for nuclear war. But that is what it has come to. It is us or them. The one who strikes first will be better off, so we need to get on with it. As for SK and the rest, well, that is not our problem. We need to protect Americans first.

With respect to China, what they gonna do, swim here? They can't hurt us and they don't want to. They have all our money already We are all economic victims of China. It would be a good thing if the cozy relationship with our corporations and billionaires came to an end. Remember Trump promised that - but did not deliver.

The continued survival of the world is imperative on the destruction of the North Korean regime.

Yeah, we're such friggin' experts on successful regime change.

Hey, since you obviously want us to be enshrined in the Terrorist Hall of Fame, maybe we could fly a few planes in to buildings too!

Thanks for confirming just how well thought out your 'solution' to the problem is.

Not sure why this is just coming up now? Hasn't it been an issue for a long time?
Trump is trying to appease Russia who was banned from the games.

I was wondering when Trump would be denouncing the Olympic decision against Russia for doping. I fully expect Trump to side with Russia and say that Russia is being treated unfairly.
