I’m wondering if this is a signal for a military coup. Chine must have people inside NK to relay the offer....take him out and live OR die with him!!
You are move?
If I were on his immediate staff, I’d be wishing I was on vacation right about now. You know what happens when a brat doesn’t get his way.
Oh No, not allies - useful puppets, but not allies. The Chicoms could overrun both Koreas in a week if they wanted to. My guess is Trump read China the riot act last week at Mar A Lago, and I expect a US Tomahawk strike followed by Chinese PLA movement from Yalu river to capital of NK, with installation of a new NK leader within months, if not weeks....
BINGO!
We know someone who’s father was an upper echelon officer in south Korea. She said the S. Korean military is scary tough.
North Korea is Chinese colony, this is a bunch of Bs
And that’s the issue. SK could run the table militarily with NK in short order, but a lot of people in Seoul would die.
I think the only way you might mitigate that (mitigate, not eliminate), is if you went nuclear on day one.
A bloodless coup is more likely
More like China pulls the strings of the puppet NORKS. I think if it wasn’t for China, North Koreans would starve.
Assad and Kim get to share a small island together...
Even trade, a quasi-most favored nation status with China in exchange for ending the Korean War.
If Trump ends the NK threat, that will be something.
You really think the Fat Boy is that stupid?
Put him on a prison diet(American). Then place him in the same prison wit Moozlem gays.
Dang. Trump is gonna clean up the Syria mess, and NK mess within a year of taking control. Amazing how fast things are happening and how uncomplicated it is.
This is China, 150k, that is probably the local national guard unit.
"What North Korea is doing is bad for business. Which of us should handle the contract?"
Trump likely told the ChiComs lead, follow or get out of the way.
The subsidence is not consistent with a leak. In fact, the drillers contracting for LANL and LLNL, namely REECO, were extremely adept at back filling and plugging the vertical shaft such that a very high percentage of collapses associated with the underground events did not leak. It was rare to have the kind of egregious leak that threatened workers or the surrounding communities. However, as one can find on the web, it did occur. LLNL used gas sampling as a means to estimate device yield. This required the sampling crew to rush to the site and hasten drilling into the newly-created cavern to collect radioactive gas, before the collapse occurred, if it occurred. Of course, each site was ringed with seismic units to catch early tremors of the impending collapse. After many years, they could estimate the collapse or lack thereof very accurately in the various shot locations of NTS, based on the strata, device yield, cavern size, etc. The far smaller shots were not likely to collapse as the cavern was smaller and supported the overburden far better than the big shots in the 100-150KT range.
I’m in SK. The people I’ve met here despise the NK leaders. The DMZ is a serious place. SK can kick some serious butt, if unleashed.
