The United States is prepared to respond to North Korean nuclear threats on its own if China fails to pressure Pyongyang, President Donald Trump said in an interview with the Financial Times on Sunday.

It is likely kim dung will have or already has missiles capable of reaching the US

The missiles themselves don't have that range, but they have one sub that appears to be capable of carrying a missile similar to one the NORKs are developing. The sub sails in close, and you get the picture. Besides our bases in the Far East, Alaska and Hawaii are very vulnerable.

If a shooting match starts, S Korea is going to bear the brunt of the destruction i.e. Seoul = dust pile before they (US) can neutralize the norks. It would take a coordinated attack on multi fronts simultaneously to keep Seoul and other cities from being destroyed..

“South Korea is right there. Let them handle it.”

They won’t, because they’re a pack of chicken $hits who will soon replace their failed president with another “NK appeaser.” Their biggest problem is the fact that their capitol city is so very close to their border with NK. Any military action against the Norks would cause massive damage to Seoul. It really makes any military action against NK a nuclear one.

All true, but SK has had 70 years to solve this problem. We need to walk the hell out of there and let SK handle their own problems.

When your generals are all about 5’ 1” in boots you’ll take anything you can get. But yes, if they only knew how utterly silly they appear. They’ll look even worse deep fried.

As to being “chicken s****”...I’m in Seuol now. From what I observe, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

The only way to do it is with a nuclear preemptive strike.

Mad Kim wants a suicide so as to be the communist martyr and revive communism in the Us for the benefit of China.

More “wars and rumors of wars”.
Some things never change until the day they just do.

I think South Korea, Japan, Russia, and China would object to the radioactive fallout.
