Many members of the national media hate President Trump so much that they'll even defend North Korea if it keeps them consistent in their opposition to everything he does.
After Trump said at the United Nations General Assembly this week that the U.S. would crush the little Asian country should Kim Jong Un attack the U.S. or our allies, reporters and commentators reacted as if he had just threatened Switzerland on a whimsy.
Trump had simply said that the U.S. "has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea," a relatively measured response to years of hostilities from Kim's regime.
"There were gasps in the hall....

They agree with Rocket Man’s politics.
Re: “Correction, they hate America so much. Trump is just daring to stand up for their enemy - America.”

I say we let them hit Hollywood, say, “Is that all you got?” and then wipe them off the face of the earth. ;)
Given that hollowood wants to behead President Trump, I kinda sorta wonder if Trump even cares to defend hollowood against a nuke/emp strike.

Headline: Millions To Die
Let them be the laughing stock of the whole world in such a manner that it becomes a byword for a generation against them and all those who oppose your righteous people in the earth.
North Korea has a ton of artillery at the DMZ, all either in defilade or in protected/tunneled positions.
Despite what the armchair generals here say, this is an intractable problem to deal with. If the U.S. pre-emptively attacks N. Korea and millions (or even thousands) in Seoul die or are injured as a result, it is unlikely those in charge will survive the backlash.
Only way to do this is to somehow neutralize the artillery at the DMZ or stage a successful coup that takes out Rocket Man.
Surely the US has polished a strategy over nearly half a century for taking them out quickly and efficiently.

“Even if a million civilians were killed in Seoul it would ensure Kims untimely demise, and from his perspective that is still almost certainly a very bad trade.
North Korean artillery will undoubtedly play a very large role in any future conflict. While the Korean Peoples Army certainly has a large amount of cannon and rocket artillery, recent experience suggests that it falls short of its actual potential. Furthermore, while an artillery attack on Seoul would undoubtedly cause a great deal of civilian casualties, there are numerous factors involved that would give the North pause before unleashing such a scenario. “
