Trump should send lil kim some pix of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki. The problem is that the world has
forgotten that we used them twice.

And before that it was standard operating procedure to just send them a shipload of grain and a few palettes of cognac and all would be cool for a year or two.

I’m sorry but SK isn’t my country.
I will feel terrible of 10s of thousands die.
I’ll feel worse if my nephews and nieces here are incinerated.

We need to handle the North Korean situation ASAP. Iran is watching closely, and will soon be another extremely serious menace.
Unfortunately, Seoul has 10 million inhabitants and is only a short 35 miles from the border. This problem is getting dicier by the day.

Fire and fury. That's about as close as he can come to explicitly stating a nuclear response.

Nobody has forgotten. Japan will be an ally in any conflict with NK. We have to be tactful about any mention of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, especially given the date.

Agreed. This is about a can that can’t be kicked down the road anymore.

deep state wants warBingo!!!
Same trap they used on Bush in Iraq through the NYT. Day after day after day of top of the fold stories about the Iraq threat until they created the concensus and frenzy for war. I'm sure all the deep state tools will be used to try and destroy Trump, even if it means embroyling us in another unnecessary war.

Personally, I’m intrigued by the “like the world has never seen before”.
We’ve seen nuclear weapons. We’ve seen precision weapons. We’ve seen cyber weapons. We’ve seen 10,000 armored vehicles. We’ve seen Dresden. Artillery in Stalingrad.
Just what is it that the world has never seen before...other than “fire and fury”?

We have had the ability to turn North Korea into a gravel pit for decades. Why we haven’t done so is a mystery. Maybe it is time.

Nagasaki and Hiroshima were relatively small nuclear weapons. We now have much more destructive nuclear and thermonuclear weapons.
