An increasingly hostile relationship between the U.S. and North Korea has Americans considering a preemptive strike on the country—and many Republicans are all for it. About 46 percent of Republicans support a preemptive strike on North Korea today—compare that with just 42 percent of Republicans who say they don't support it, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.
When members of both major parties are surveyed, that question changes a lot. Only 16 percent of Democrats favor the idea of the U.S. making a preemptive strike on North Korea, while a whopping 77 percent of Democrats oppose it. Across both party lines, Americans say negotiating with the country is a “waste of time.”
Part of that could be the complete lack of confidence the U.S. has in President Donald Trump’s ability to negotiate with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. A majority of American voters -- by almost 20 percent -- say they don’t have any confidence in Trump to handle the current situation....

So much for balance...
Wrong! I want to go to war with cental south California.
The Dims prefer that a nuke hit Hawaii or homo San Francisco first.

They have thousands of artillery pieces aimed at half the population of South Korea. Despite one of the neocons claiming artillery is not that lethal, we really don’t want to find out the hard way.
An increasingly hostile relationship
I have far more confidence in President Trump than I have had in any President since Reagan.
Bush II was decent, but he was unwilling to fight the Media.
Democrats want to bend-over and take a nuke up the shorts.
Sorry, but both Bushes were behind the illegal alien inundation and that is quite indecent.
This has got to be fake news.
46% really?
Trying to paint republicans as warhawks and war mongers. Who did they sample.
First off, let N.Korea strike first. It sucks I know and the administration will get blame for “doing nothing” but it’s the lesser of two evils and the rest of the world will have no leg to stand on when we take Kim down.
Secondly, why are our problem? Where the hell are it’s neighbors? China, Russia, S.Korea, Japan.
Why is this soley our job? Because of a big mouth?
You're absolutely right!
Yep - and if Trump does nothing and the NORKs do attack with a nuke, “Newsweak” will be all over him for that - along with all the dems...
They throw a few Mother Jones and Rolling Stone articles in for credibility too!
You always find out if you are wrong in war the 'hard way'. Evac the N side of Seoul and the arty threat is significantly reduced. Never heard anyone say the arty isn't 'lethal', but it isn't going to be operating with impunity either.
Are we positive they can accurately hit San Fransicko or LA?
Yahoo News, by and for yahoos.
.... Why doesn’t the DoD activate STUXNET-II and target the entire DPRK Military Complex and Missile Guidance Systems?
