Temporarily. We could always go back to making things ourselves.

cutting trade with china or india is not going to stop NK from developing WMD The time for military action has long ago arrived. We need to freeze them at the DMZ, attack nuke and rocket sites and try to kill the megalomanic all simultaneously and tell china of they want war because they support NK then bring it and let’s get it over with. To warn and sanction another 20 year is certain death and we will eat shit a thousands times under his threats and then iran will step up also in our weakness. and he will have hundreds of missiles and nikes capable of reaching every part of the uS.

Of course. EMP can be pinpointed with strength of the emission and the altitude. For a primer, go here:

That’s Seoul’s problem. The South Koreans have had 60 years to relocate their capital away from the DMZ. A technical state of war has existed for those 60 years, yet the South Korean government has paid no heed to this real and immediate threat, rather choosing to bury its head up its ass.

Now the United States is supposed to act as if our hands are tied, and risk a nuclear attack on our soil because the South Koreans were too stupid to move their capital out of range from any Nork attack.

Nope. Sorry - we are not playing that game. If Seoul gets wiped off the map, that’s their own dam fault. And, frankly, I won’t cry for them.

Brilliant minds decided if we trade globally it would prevent wars.

Easy fix - pull all Americans out. South Koreans made their bed by not moving their capital - now let them reap the consequences of their stupidity.

And what about companies like Apple who do most of their mfg in China?

Do we stop trade with Apple?

This could get ugly.

I seriously think we should launch a full nuclear first strike on the Norks - totally annihilate the entire country. Obliterate every living thing there. That will end it decisively. The hell with what China, Russia - or any other commie thinks. What are they gonna do? Start WW3 for North Korea?

If the clowns in Congress tried to impeach Trump, they’d have a hot civil war on their hands - and I’d be willing to bet they’d be the first casualties.

“Some minimum measures to put in place until N. Korea completely stands down.”

NK will launch on the US before they will stand down.

Why not draw a line and tell NOKO not to cross, or else...

“If McCain had his way, we would have nuked the Norks long ago.”

I’m pretty sure that would be his gut feeling now but with his vile hatred of Trump he would go to San Francisco with flowers in his nonexistent hair if Trump came out in favor of that.

How many need to get knocked off before something "massive" actually happens?

I remember Johnny Carson mocking those commercials and having the Conrad character get nailed in the face with a pie.

I am not saying any like that. I am just saying Trump already has that approval. Congress would do better to spend its time repealing Obamacare, funding the wall, ending any amnesty, etc. trump does not need Congressional approval to act on Korea.
