He also said that “any threat to the United States or its territories including Guam or our allies will be met with a massive military response.”

“We have many options.”

Well we know that’s a lie.

And China retaliates by not showing up at our bond auctions and dumping all the bonds that they have bought.

Trump must issue a statement comdemining the Uniparty cartel of Obama, Bush and Clinton.


And what will that do? How can you condemn certain individuals without prosecuting them for their misdeeds? Don’t you know that the elites will always get away with their crimes? Examples: Pol Pot (genocide), Idi Amin (genocide), Clinton (for her Uranium deal with Russia), Obama (for giving Iran the power and the money it now possesses), Comey for lying to Congress etc., and the list goes on and on. Finger pointing in politics never gets us anywhere because it remains just finger pointing.

Public statements only rile up the little creep in NK.

And supply our MSM fodder to help are enemies. That's all they do anymore is HELP THE ENEMIES 0F AMERICA.

Everyone should really think about that and realize that we've sat back and allowed an enemy of America to form and organize right here within our own borders. The communist MSM.

Moabs and daisy cutters. We can end this whole thing without using any nukes on them. Our arsenal, US Navy and Air Force makes them look like they’re playing with 60s weapons. Good luck with that Kim. We take out anything designed to attack the south and if they’re really stupid enough to launch a nuke, then it’s on baby. Goodbye PyongYang.

That would hurt us more than they would hurt them. Electronics Imports to the US or about 14% mostly from China; heavy machinery about another 14% mostly from China; 5% of our furniture imports mostly from China...

That sounds like President Trump just threatened China with the Wal-Mart card- and everything else.

Not total annihilation but precise surgery with a deep thrust of the MOAB knife into the heart of the Pig as he hides in his hole. The use of EMP will destroy Nork ability to see and communicate. Retaliation forces will be slaughtered as they load their first rounds and discover their electronic guidances are toast. Nork military will be a fattened Pig to the slaughter.

Getting U.S. manufacturers to shift operations out of China, slim and none. GM is now building Buicks there, to bring here. Ford just built a new plant there for nearly $7 Billion. They won’t/can’t move. And I’m done with Ford.

Still better than millions of dead Americans. The financial tit-for-tat will hurt China more than us. And it is time we ween ourselves off that country.

I’m waiting for the old war whore McCain’s statement. He has to wait for Trumps so he can denounce it whatever it is.

...post of the day.

I definitely prefer to see a non-nuclear annihilation of North Korea but if that is only partial, no. If we wage war, it needs to be total war. Solve the problem and leave no one to raise a weapon or threat against us. Haven’t we seen too much partial responses, such as with Islam, that only emboldens them and leaves more Americans dead?

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