Hopefully one of those options includes tomahawk missile carrying neutron bomb warheads targeted at each and every launch site NK has exposed.....

Plus, one targeted at FATSO’s last known location...

.....Ignore the MSM nonsense, this is a proxy with China

We will truly be screwed when next year we move on him and he takes out California.

In order to make an omelet...

One more word. Last year, having a "Family Style" Amish lunch in Lancaster County,PA I was seated with a black mother and high school graduate son from Philly. The son told me he'd just been accepted at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in Lancaster. If he applies himself, that young lad is going to do well. I got the feeling that Mom is going to make sure he does. 😊 I love good outcomes.

OPTION #1:

” The Neutron Bomb

The tactical neutron bomb is a nuclear weapon that maximizes damage to people but minimizes damage to buildings and equipment. It is also called an enhanced radiation warhead. The neutron bomb is a specialized thermonuclear weapon that produces a minimal blast but releases large amounts of lethal radiation which can penetrate armor or several feet of earth”

Load those babies on Cruise missiles and no more China using FATSO to threaten America.

You are a fool.

He said we are NOT interested in annihilating them.

That is not what he said. Stop putting words in people's mouths. His exact words were: “We are not looking for the annihilation of North Korea, we have many options”

I would want to be on the other side of those words even less than the Godfather hoping nothing happens to my lovely family.

We need to build up our forces in the area

You have not been paying attention to the flow of forces in.

If I were POTUS I would not be POTUS for the every lasting glory of those who love dictatorships as long as dictatorships let them do business there. Let them - China - steal what Boeing and GM have already in essence given them. We, the U.S., will go on to surpass all those gifts, because we are who we are and China is run by Marxist dictators.

And your tale of a “family style” lunch in Lancaster County PA relates to the North Korea topic by way of what??

Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with North Korea. Silly me, I thought in a broader sense, we’d segued to jobs for youths, Mike Rowe’s foundation, etc. Pardon me for pestering you with a story about one black kid in 100,000 who is actually going to make a success of his life. I’ll try to be a bit more stiff and stodgy henceforth. NOT!

Yes I have. You can argue it is enough, but it is not. When the 1st FW is deployed like during the first 36 hours of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, maybe, but a few B-2s & B-1’s and a single F-35 isn’t enough.

And that doesn’t mean we are NOT going to deploy a hell of a lot more; just that we haven’t—YET.

I was not trying to disparage your comments on your discussion with the family in Lancaster. The kids mother is to be commended for keeping on a good path. Every mom & dad ought to do as well.

I just did not make the connection to our discussion vis a vis North Korea. To me, when it comes to Boeing and GM and China, is not about “jobs” as much as it is their not believing enough in the moral superiority of not just our political system but free enterprise (as much as it is still that) versus the nationalist mercantilist state-capitalist model under the communist dictators of China. Helping that dictatorship advance that model is, to me, what the likes of GM and Boeing have done.

metmom :" Just got done reading *One Second After*.
Things that make you go hmmmmmm........"

Next on your reading list should be "One Year After"
and it shows the loss of loved ones, and some innovative and ingenious modifications people had to make.
It is a postapocalyptic thriller where communities had to deal with an over-reaching government.
I just received a copy of the last of the trilogy :" The Final Day" by Forstchen, but haven't cracked it open yet.

“massive military response.”

I like these words, sounds good, but it is just more arm flexing.

I have both books and just yesterday ordered *The Final Day* from the library.

I heard it’s not quite as good as the first two.

The only nuclear, if we use that technology, will be to set of the EMPs that will wipe out the Nork’s ability to retaliate. Our effort will be to wipe out their military infrastructure and take out the Pig. That will all be done with conventional s. Remember, the MOAB is a very lethal conventional weapon. We have lots of those to use if we need them.
