The unpredictable and increasingly dangerous North Korea celebrated the fourth of July by launching its own rocket into the air. But this was far from a firework sent to the sky to celebrate a countrys independence. The North Korean regime has successfully launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching Alaska but not the mainland.
At least, not yet.
North Korea is a growing threat to the U.S. as Trump and his generals ponder what to do. The latest weapons test caught American military officials off guard as it included a new type of missile fired from a mobile launch site. There is now growing concern that the Trump administration and its group of neoconservative generals are moving closer to taking military action.
General Vincent Brooks, the top American military commander in South Korea, said on Wednesday that the U.S. and South Korea were prepared to go to war with the North if given the order. This preemptive strike would be catastrophic for the peninsula, on which 28,500 U.S. troops are still stationed and where over 10 million South Koreans live in the city of Seoul, only 35 miles from the border.

start imposing sanctions and high tariffs on China. Let them deal with since they are the ones equipping the norks.
hold the chicoms responsible for solving the situation.
Lay this at H. Truman’s feet. He had the chance to correct the problem and chose to chicken out. Subsequent presidents kicked the can down the road. The little strutting fuerer now has the tech to threaten us. Certaintly with an EMP attack. And let’s not forget he will decimate South Korea near the armistice line. Unless we strike with overwhelming power. We won’t of course, our leadership doesn’t have the will. Please note this is not an attack on President Trump, rather an assessment of the mindset of our government.
Until the first shots are fired a diplomatic solution is always possible. After that almost everything is impossible.
Simple solution. Station BBQ grills every 500 feet from one end of the border to the other. Next, declare war on North Korea. NK troops will immediately defect to the food.
This is, in fact, the chief worry of SK. Once the border is open, they fear an invasion of starving peasants by the millions.
Feed um... Food smell weapons... Great idea. The picnic offensive.
Not according to General Mattis earlier today.
I guess people who write news, never read it.
As odd as it sounds to secular ears... Much prayer. That God will strike down the little miserable monster and save every willing soul in North Korea. A gospel offensive.
Mad Dog Mattis.
Wouldn’t it be grand if God let a plot to off the little monster succeed right in Pyongyang itself? The folks who have these bombs might get the irresistable notion to nuke their own HQ.
Ooooops dear leader the bomb failed to launch right! We kiss our miserable carcasses goodbye!
I think if you shot it down over N. Korea, they’d be more likely to go to war, than if you shot it down hundreds of miles away.
So in the former case, you’d have the war anyway. In the latter case, since it’s less of a loss of face for N. Korea, they might not go to war. But they still might.
Kind of like the suicide of Samson. But it demolished the house of the evil Philistine god.
Is there some way to “push” it back? Just dreaming out loud.
Maybe nuking a Pyongyang that has launched something displaying a nuclear signature to satellites might be the humanest move.

Because we might miss.
Let’s work with the Israelis to install software to cause the next missile launched to land of Fat Elvis. The excess fuel will take out everyone within a half mile of him mainly his whores, concubines and generals.
Any replacement will likely be so paranoid that he will kill off all the missile and nuclear scientists to keep the same thing from happening to him not realizing they—like most of the people the Kim family has had executed—we guilty of nothing.

Just let slip that one of the generals is actually an undercover CIA assassin just waiting for the signal to take out the fat boy. As paranoid as he is, he will start purging the military leadership to find the assassin. Eventually they will need to take him out before they are all killed.
Yeah he will try to tweet him to death I suppose. :-) Trump will try and negotiate a deal with China but I doubt much happens there of any substance. China likes having NK around to mess with us. Any real deal has to allow independent inspector access to all their military sites. THAT will never happen with the current NK regime.
Maybe some BS deal gets signed but I really don't see a good path forward here ... unless there is covert action to take out the NK leadership. Such an action would upset China big time but I am not sure they would go to war over it.
Or might alert the world prematurely how good we are.
