BBC News ^ | 9/4/2017 | BBC

The US envoy to the UN has urged the Security Council to take the "strongest possible measures" against North Korea after its latest nuclear test.

"The time has come to exhaust all diplomatic means before it is too late," Nikki Haley told an emergency meeting of the council in New York.

She also warned countries which did business with the North that they were aiding their nuclear ambitions.

Reports suggest the North is preparing new test missile launches.

Ms. Haley said North Korean leader Kim Jong-in had shown through his actions that he was "begging for war"....

It’s not ‘China’ and ‘Russia’ that want this.

It is the Globalists who want Trump ‘globally embarrassed’ so that he can be impeached.

The problem with that is their public position is that they DON’T want a nuclear NK. Frankly I don’t think they want that either but they consider it a small price to pay for the pleasure of NK being a thorn in our side.

When people know you mean business, they respect and even fear you. Respect is earned through action, not endless talk. Just sayin’.

How does this lead to impeachment?

Please connect all the dots from NK’s having nukes to impeachment.

I got 46 insulting responses yesterday when I said Trump has had months to take care of NK.

We not only didn’t do anything, we MOVED the 2 carrier groups we had there out.

And now we’re gonna do that sanctions thing. Wow that’s DIFFERENT from the past 24 years.

I like Trump alot.

But he wussed out on this one.

SK’s will die.

He’s not the president of SK.

There are expectations of some meaningful action from President Donald J. Trump.

The old way of doing business won’t work, that’s for sure.

But war is an ugly thing and it needs to be brought to a swift conclusion with the fewest casualties possible.

If that’s the option, there can be no halfway measures in conducting it.

The policing war of the early 1950s in Korea can not be resumed in 2017 as more of the same.

MacArthur laid it out in 1951 after Truman fired him for wanting to win the Korean War back then.

Here’s the day’s question to ponder...which is more corrupt and harmful to civilization and more useless when it comes to constructive action: The United Nations or the U.S. Congress?

It is a very hard question, ponder well.

Its not unusual to get those kinds of responses/attacks if you so much as question something Trump is doing. Even sincere and thoughtful questions are often not well received, unfortunately.

I too support Trump and donated multiple times to his campaign so I feel free to express my opinions about what he does. Its not gratuitous criticism at all.

The reality is that Trump, like all presidents, is surrounded and influence by lots of people with different agendas, political clout, and political ambitions. Not all of them have his best interests or the country’s well-being in mind so I believe that its healthy to respectfully question what our leaders say, do and promise.

When you get insulting responses it usually means you’ve hit a nerve. I pray that Trump deals with this monster harshly and swiftly.

It's really quite simple:

  1. North Korea detonates a nuke on United States soil.
  2. Maxine Waters goes on MSNBC.
  3. ???
  4. Impeachment!

Cable news cares more about DACA than North Korea from what I saw on CNN earlier.

I only give them two minutes and move on.

The corporatist elites are counting on the DACA “children” who are close to working age for cheap labor. Paul Ryan spoke for his paymasters the other day when he came out in support of DACA.

Trump makes them mad on that alone but the Mueller investigation and other matters would be used like NK or Russia and so on to take him out.

Trump’s willingness to shut off cheap labor flow into the country makes powerful people in both Uniparties mad.

They need to get rid of him.

Its still not too late to take out NK’s nuke program by preemptive strike since it is still in it’s tiny infancy.

This is telling a thug who is mugging you in the alley that you’re going to tell his mommy.
