It would be a very short war. The US might lose a city or two, if that happens imam zero will suspend the Constitution.

Kim J needs to eat a snickers bar.

I think that part is bluff. the winds could put fallout into north korea. The US can do surgical strike. but probably won’t.

With this bluster, I would think they would have several.Did any rocket they have launched actually make it to orbit? If so then that would be worrisome.

Sounds like they’re getting soft, I recall the days when they threatened merciless, relentless total annihilation.

Maybe but it would be an easy strike. Couldn’t miss given the distance. It might put fallout into North Korea but it’s far enough from population centers that it would not be a big deal. And besides, he surely knows that we’d respond with nukes anyway. The question is whether he cares. I remember that the Dems said that Saddam could be trusted with weapons of mass destruction because he wasn’t suicidal. He’d know that to use them would mean his death. Well he was suicidal. As demonstrated by what happened. I suspect Kim is the same.

You really think so?

I think 0bama would respond with speeches and attempted diplomacy.

You know,

"WHY DID THEY DO THIS TO US, IT MUST BE OUR (AMERICAS') FAULT."

.... I suspect Kim is ...suicidal.

Just the opposite. Never having had to deal with anything but his way, I’m more concerned that Kim is of the mind that he’s invincible; bulletproof. Lad’s in need of a good fashioned old ass whipping.

In a brave move 0bama went to the golf course to defuse the situation.

Great job the establishment did in preventing North Korea from going nuclear. Was Hillary too busy not baking cookies and handling bimbo eruptions to care back then ?

Obama will do nothing.
He is the worst kind of leader, an appeasement weasel. He’ll send them our money to try and buy them off.
This is an opportunity for regime change. One small tactical nuke where Kin Jong Un sleeps and North and South Korea can be reunited and the world will again fear the USofA and listen to what we say.
We haven’t nuked anyone since 1945. The nuclear threat is meaningless unless used now and then.

Best text on the subject and free. You can also buy Kindle and dead tree versions.

Bullshit. Idle threat. They do this about 100 times a year or more. He very well knows his limitations. This just keeps his own serfs in line to creat mass siege mentality.

Well the US and SK are going to have a 2 month military drill with 300,000 South Korean troops. THAT could be why Kim is saying he’ll use nukes indiscriminately. He’d have zero chance in a conventional war with what the North has.

Your definition of irony and mine differ a bit. Nothing Obama does that causes a bad situation to become far worse is ironic. It’s simply the norm.
