Let me seeeeee. Re-reading my post. Re-reading, re-reading, re-reading. Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm. Ah. Okay. See nothing where I said not to handle this carefully and hoping to "blow stuff up real gud."

You must've meant to direct your comments to someone else.

No need to apologize. These things happen.

[caww]

Have to admit by Trump waiting thus far, and not giving Kim anything he wants.... it's certainly forced Kim Un to expose what he's ‘really’ got!...and a whole lot more just by firing these from his country.....you can be sure our military is honing in on his country in every respect.

[caww]

Patience Van.....Fat Boys showing us far more than he thinks he is......time to trust our military capability while Kim exposes his.

[caww]

Patience Van.....more going on than what we see....Fat Boys showing us far more than he thinks he is......time to trust our military capability while Kim ‘exposes’ his, intentional and otherwise.

“Oh, great. Mattis must’ve found one of Ubama’s red crayons laying around.”

Translation:

Why are these guys waiting around when they can be blowing stuff up Come ooooooooooooooon!!!

[Texas Eagle]

Oh. So you're a fan of red lines. I'm not. Doesn't make me an armchair general or mean that I want to blow stuff up. Just not a fan of vague threats.

Perhaps you can provide a transation for the word, "continue".

and it will not be unmarked planes loaded with cash like Obama did

He's been spinning in his grave for quite some time now.

After decades of talk and appeasement, its no wonder that Kim doesn’t take us seriously. Our politicians were content to bribe NK and make it appear as though some meaningful deal was struck by diplomatic pressure. It was all just a show and now Trump is left to deal with the mess. He has to restore U.S. credibility which isn’t going to be easy in view of the pathetic weakness of previous presidents.

I said this on another thread in response to the question: "What blackmail?"

The blackmail that worked with all past Presidents: give us money and food or we will do really, really bad things. They threaten, and we acquiesed. "Here! Here's money and food! Please don't do it! The NORKs are like a spoiled child with bad parents. The child throws a tantrum holding his breath and the parents panic and give him what he wants.

With his father and grandfather, it worked like a charm. FatBoy has been 0 for something like 10 so far with his escalations with Trump; the President hasn't given in and offered money and food.

The potbellied little SOB can't figure out why it isn't working, and keeps escalating. Eventually, Trump will lower the boom, but only at the right time. Everyone wants to know "When???" "When???" and assumes that since it hasn't yet happened, it won't.

The only ones who know when are Trump and Mattis, I'd wager.

I totally agree. Imagine the technology we have today vs what Tom Clancy wrote in his technology fact based novels 20+ years ago. Then consider what we did to Baghdad in Gulf War One using our stealth bombers and F15s.

I bet that the Pentagon has every single armillary, missile launch pad, power, communication, radar, fuel depots, underground bunkers all mapped and targeted for when Trump/Mathis pull the trigger.

B2 stealth, B1 Lancers, F22 and F35 planes are primed and ready for the task at hand. A10s and Cobra gunships will clean up what's left. Meanwhile the Navy will be fishing for noisy NORK diesel powere subs. 👍

I’m a fan of not f*cking up, just to rush, because you are in a hurry.

The mission is to let that bastard make the mistakes, not for US to do it.

[caww]

Yep!...People need to be more than patient in this....should we go after the FatBoy in any way it’s got to be done right the first time.....and ‘everything’ secured thereafter.

Kim and his Generals would not be going this far if what we’re already doing isn’t working to flush them out.....they’re all scared this ‘might’ be the end of their regime of power no matter how that cake is cut.

[Texas Eagle]

I’m a fan of not f*cking up, just to rush, because you are in a hurry.

Nor am I. Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion from my statement. I'm just not a fan of red lines. That's all.

The mission is to let that bastard make the mistakes, not for US to do it.

Ah. Now, we're getting somewhere. "Mistakes" is plural. How many "mistakes" are you willing forebear from Kin Jung Un? Indeed, what constitutes a "mistake" in your book? The loss of innocent life? You're opposed to that, aren't you? Word on the street is you are.

[Lazamataz]

Of course most of our folks would have a tough time passing themselves off as NORKs.

SOUKs could.

[Cobra64]

Yup. Every military planner should study LeMay's methodology.

I don’t know how sophisticated NK’s missiles are. Guided by telemetry thru the course of their flight? Or like Scuds, put in a measured qty of fuel, aim in the general direction, fire and hope it goes where they want jt to. I suspect the latter. If sophisticated, we might hack their telemetry channel and turn the missile back on the launch site. That would be fun.

[Paulie]

Don’t quite understand your question. Please clarify.

I never stated what “I want”, by the way, nor did I allude to it.

Simply making a statement.

[rktman]

🤔. As long as they don't pull a " Hi. I'm your friendly Afghan trainee." deal on our "advisors". I think they might be more trustworthy.

[onedoug]

The longer we wait the more difficult and dangerous it becomes.
