BREAKING: Trump summons US Generals to White House WAR ROOM over North Korea
Daily Star ^ | October 10, 2017 | Henry Holloway

DONALD Trump has held a meeting on the growing North Korea crisis in the White House's famous "situation room" along with the US Generals, reports say.

Trump is reported to have held a briefing on North Korea at the White House along with US National Security Council.

The situation room often hosts "war councils" during times of conflict, and was famously where Barack Obama monitored the mission to kill Osama bin Laden.

Tensions between the US and North Korea have been worsening as Kim refuses to give up his quest for nuclear capable ICBMs.

Yesterday, General James Mattis warned the US Army to "stand ready" for war with North Korea – and he was in today's major meeting.

However, the US have repeatedly said diplomacy is the preferred sol

“Trump is in the situation room” doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Make it clear to KimJong Insane:
Upon another threatening missile launch, , immediate cruise missile launch on all known NORK ‘ICBM’ sites, with targeting and subsequent attack of any batteries attacking Seoul. After that Pyongyang incinerated.

There was also a hit piece today on the captain of the USS Shiloh in Japan where it’s been assigned due to this Nkorea activity.

"Uh....why is this in the news?"

Because it doesn't say anything. They had a meeting in the Situation Room. In other news, the sun rose in the east today.

Yeah, we had a situation here with our dogs not long ago.

I didn’t like the smell of it.

No fighting in the War Room, boys.

My very thought Ben!

Trump and Mattis are very public with their "hints" about North Korea. Either they are trying to send a very direct signal, or they are preparing the public for a possible strike.

Perhaps both. Trump and Mattis would not be doing this if there was not an overt purpose.

This is a harmful leak which allows the enemy to maneuver both politically and militarily.

If we have ways of observing (which I have to figure we do), we get to watch Rocket Man as he maneuvers. We learn where he goes, who his contacts are, which observation posts light up, which jets on the ground are started and where, which units are alerted and where they travel. Etc.

Potentially, there are plenty of reasons to get him to flinch and reveal himself a bit more.

Too bad we don’t have a “Strangelove” war room in the White House. However, this which seems intentionally leaked as a last warning, should get fat boy’s attention if that’s possible.

Right: The president is in his fortress of solitude, taking his ease while pondering matters of great moment.
Wrong: He’s in the bathroom.

No it doesn’t but it’s still not correct. The war Room is in the Pentagon.

can someone lay out the legality on this option? Declaration of war by congress? War powers act of the president?

The Korean war started in 1950, it was never declared over, it is well within the President's Constitutional purview to suspend the armistice and continue diplomacy by other means...

“Mr. President, I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks.”

LOL

I see no indication in the article that "Trump and Mattis are doing this."

I'd be curious to know the source of the so called "reporting" and to know if Trump or Mattis approved the "reports."
