This is BS! SK was safe enough for Trump to go quite recently.

This either a childish attempt to get back at NBC or in support of his bromance with Putin. Or both.

Anything else is a lie.

This is more about Trump wanting to back out so he won't upstage his master Vladimir Putin. North Korea is just the excuse.

With that logic theres probably half a dozen countries around the world we could just nuke to solve our problems. ' Is this what America has become?

The athletes should be told of the dangers and make their own decisions.

Does anyone think this has more to do with kissing Putin's butt than North Korea? Russia has been banned, Trump can't come right out and boycott in solidarity but NK works as a really convenient excuse.

But yeah, let's continue crying there's a nut in NK and do something to prove NOBODY out-nuts the US when it comes to bombing the crap out of people over mere words.
Based on that we should have declared an immediate embargo on their products.

We will be at war with them eventually, it is a matter of if not when.

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

Why would US ally, So Korea, arrest the US Olympic team and hold them for ransom?

First one needs to build a bubble around US ally, South Korea because it is no possible to contain the fallout.

The 2018 Winter Olympics is 50 miles from the NK border.

Nuking wouldn't be "just be done with it". Nuking likely would be the beginning of WW3, with China and Russia joining forces with NK, coming after the USA.

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.
