BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 08/11/17 07:48 AM EDT

President Trump continued his aggressive rhetoric toward North Korea on Friday, issuing yet another stark warning to the U.S. adversary on Twitter.

"Military solutions are now fully in place,locked and loaded,should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!" Trump tweeted.

What?

As I said before, save us the keyboard commando bull.

It isn’t his job to shoot first because you want some “action”. Go watch some war movies if you need to see stuff blow up right now.

We should be removing all non essential personnel and family members from South Korea.

Nope. Why telegraph anything? We hold the upper hand and Trump knows it in spades. We know this putz needs to be dealt with and Trump is goading him into making that wrong move.

It’s an unaccompanied tour for all the important ppl. I think only diplomats are allowed family.

“You gonna pull them pistols or whistle Dixie?”

” . . and let N. Korea make the first mistake.”

That is exactly what Josie Wales was doing to the Red Legs. Let’s see just how serious you are about taking us down. He goaded them into making the first move.

One angle people don’t consider is we no doubt have footage/documentary of the likely Auschwitz-level human atrocities happening in NK. China DOES NOT want the embarassment of having provided cover and appeasement when the conditions are finally broadcast, a secret that the RATS, MenSeekingMen and Deep State have guarded with their lives.

Proof of the effects of socialism in Venezuela and communism in NK will set their ‘long march’ back decades once exposed.

If Trump and Kim Jong-un keep up the rhetoric, it will make many people nervous. On top of that, if Kim follows a predictable N. Korean pattern and creates a military provocation against S. Korea, that would be enough for people to get out of S. Korea on their own, without any evacuation notice.

This is just like the Cuban Missile Crisis
except:

North Korea is Cuba

China is Russia

We can thank the U.S. free traders for building up China, China's military and China's nuclear capability. Many of the free traders excoriated me and others on this forum for a long time

Actually I prefer the term “Cocked and Locked” over Lock n lOAD! It Clicks...there’s a ring to it!
but that goes way back to about 1926 and the USMC Circlar Letter for Marine Mail Guards....a bit of history hard-to-find anymore....

I don’t see this ending well at all for the Koreans, both North and South.

Trump should ask China to meet and discuss the NK issue on the Island of Guam!

I’ve done a tour there. They have both accompanied and unaccompanied tours, so plenty of family members are there.

“let N. Korea make the first mistake”

I agree because N. Korea’s starting move can’t be a huge one. They don’t have the firepower. We’ll detect that limited first move and then will destroy carefully selected and precisely targeted locations.

Today’s war is done with precisely aimed weapons, not huge ones.

There are so many military responses at Trump’s disposal it would be hard to choose just one.

Thanks to Nixon

“Too bad he didn’t do that in Korea like MacArthur wanted”

Well, there’s been a lot written about this for sure. I’ve done a little reading on this but freely acknowledge I’m no expert, but I do have an opinion....

Because back then we were more concerned with The Soviet Union and we used “The China Card”, had we not, the Soviet Union would still exist today.

.... let N. Korea make the first mistake.

North Korea's first mistake was thinking they're dealing with another Clinton, Bush II or Obama.

What's the next "mistake" you'll have them make, or will you move the goal post again?

The Nork's have spent the last 25 years bamboozling the U.S., taking advantage of all the "aid" (read that: extortion) they've extracted from three weak Presidents in a row and have successfully built up a nuclear program under the radar and out of sight of our "intelligence agencies."

North Korea has directly threatened Nuclear War against the United States of America. The Nork's have demonstrated ICBM capabilities with the reach of hitting all but southern Florida in the CONUS. That fact caught our military and Intel agencies (there's a laugh...) by surprise. They're at least ten years ahead of where both the military and Intel agencies thought they were.

No one really knows if the Nork's can put a nuclear tip on any of their ICBM's and have it survive re-entry. For all we know they can, for all we know they can't.

If you don't understand the difference between North Korea and Iraq by now let me spell it out for you: North Korea has demonstrated they have the capability to hit us. That means they can back up their rhetoric. The only question is, nuclear or not? EMP or not?

Iraq never proved that. In fact we knew Saddam Hussein was all bluster when it came to the United States.

So what are we supposed to do here, wait until a few hundred thousand get hit by a small nuke? That's a brilliant solution!

Look, I'm not all for going to war. I wish this could end another way, I really do. When we have a despot backed by Russia and Russian military scientists, that the Chinese coddled, helped create, fed and gave aid to directly threatening us with nuclear annihilation and that despot makes no bones about threatening us with it? Time for him to go, one way or another.

That's just the way it is.

Do you think that hasn't quietly happened already?

I'd bet it has.
