Everyone KNOWS Norklandia is working for the Deep State, right?

While I don't accept the theory outright, I would suggest we not be too hasty in condemning it without some consideration. We have no idea what the Deep State is communicating to North Korea. For all we know they could be using back channels of which we are unaware to exacerbate the situation.

I don't really believe that, but I can see how it might work in theory.

I'll tell you what does not make much sense, and that is why Kim Jong Un keeps trying to provoke a fight with us. It is seemingly the most stupid thing he can possibly do, yet he is doing it.

Is he Isolated and crazy? Maybe, but there may be more to these goings on than of which we are aware.

“Guam sir? There’s nothing going on in Guam. Why Guam?”

TOTAL HEAD FAKE.

He'll go straight to South Korea where he can inflict as much carnage as possible in the least amount of time.

I don't see how it is useful as a "head fake." We aren't going to take our eyes off of South Korea even if he hits Guam. We've got lots of eyes, and lots of people who can see what is going on in all the potential theaters of war.

Option 3, as in the first Korean War, they know China has their back? That’s my bet.

What's weird about that? They established diplomatic relations 25 years ago, and China is (by far) South Korea's top trading partner.

That's news to me. Thanks for the info.

I thought China dealt exclusively with NK, and didn't even acknowledge the existence of SK. Oh well. Should have Googled first.

I still believe ultimately both China and South Korea want a graceful solution to the “North Korea Problem”, that won’t result in both their countries being flooded with thousands of Nork refugees.

The problem is, if you take out the Dynasty, what do you replace it with? You’re going to have to occupy it, like Japan and Germany after WWII. And the job probably is too big for South Korea alone.

We are given times in our lives to deal with many problems that have manifested over the lengths of our lives.

The Liberals gave him a basketball.

We have a responsibility to uphold. The President will not be offering North Korea a basketball.

“We have no idea what the Deep State is communicating to North Korea.”

We know they dare not cross the Pentagon.

There are US Military lives at stake.

It just doesn’t work that way.

What China wants, is to get rid of North Korea, in exchange for South Korea kicking out the US, and joining their ‘sphere of influence’. They are using North Korea as a bargaining chip.

They won’t do it. Just bluster. What this tells me is their missiles may not have the range to hit continental US. If they were to launch a first strike it seems it would be DC if they had missiles that could do it.

Kim couldn't dig deep enough in Pyong yang to avoid annihilation.

Guam is hardly insignificant.

Anderson Air Force base is or was part of SAC basing and they certainly had nukes stored there at one time. Maybe still do have them.

A rather strategic base, IMHO.

In a way they did. The deep state ideology is responsible for the appeasement policies that allowed the norks to develop nukes and missiles. Or is that what you meant?
