"The era of strategic patience with the North Korean regime has failed. ... Frankly, that patience is over," Trump said in the White House Rose Garden in a joint appearance with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

And yet the guy he’s standing next to wants to open up dialogue with that crazy fat bastard. Moon ran on that promise during the election.

SK’s new president wants to “negotiate” with the Norks.

Maybe we pull back our troops to Guam till we see how this turns out.

Inchon landings were Sept. 15. Seems like an auspicious date.

This is the kind of weapons control we need.

A crazy dictator who could kill millions in minutes or put half the world out of business with an EMP and kill millions slowly.

Chatted with a Korean store owner on the Oregon coast last weekend. He said people in the south pretty much ignore the north, and these rumblings.
We’ll see...

It needs to be done. There are great threats to America but Fat Boy just needs to be put down like the rabid,inbred that he is. Korea needs to re-unify as Germany did. Who cares if the Chicoms have a hissy.
