If it comes to war—it will be over in 10 days, if not less. I forsee Putin as the one who will arrange for a peace with the new Nork Government after Little Kim shoots himself. But, we will not strike first—and I think the USA is safe but not so Our troops in Korea and Japan. I think the ball will go up on the 29th with a naval attack. Then, a general war. The thing will be over by May 15. One nuke, I believe will be used, before the Occupation of North Korea by China/Russia. When it happens the true horror of the Hermit Kingdom will be exposed when the death camps are liberated.
If wishes was fishes it would be a stinky world?
No we First Strike? Oh, good heavens Dear God I hope so- No we first. Amen to No. Then there's the part about safe not so Our troops.
Chyynnah 'aint going to be launching no naval attacks on the people hard against a piece of their border, not if they can in any way avoid it. Who we got? The Viet Cong going to do it for us??????
(psst -- the Chinese are not going to be taking out the trash that's already out of their house --and in a house on the next street over, in order to make some of their flighty (with Chyynnah $$$) but gettin' wealthier citizen's investments in Seattle, and LA, safe from Kim Jong the wanna' Bomb-Bomb.
They have contingency plans to send us up the Bomb-Bombs THEMSELVES, and their Generals (real ones, not arm-chair) do like to talk about it among themselves.
General Fast War, meet Misters Bomb-Bomb(s) from generally many places.
Iran could get wee-wee'd up and move to shut off the Strait of Hormuz. (they'd be sorely tempted)
They've tried it before, and are presently itching for an excuse to teach the Greater Satan a lesson they'd like to think he'd not soon forget. Not soon ---unless all his heads were blown off -- which they'd like even better.
Though they'd not be able to entirely accomplish that, they'd have a jolly 'ol Aloha Snackbar time of making a go of it, everywhere they could find a Jew an American hiding behind a tree, the tree calling out there's a Jew an American hiding behind me! Come kill him! Ev-er-E-Where and any_where_ they could reach.
The trouble with bottles full of genies, is that they're full of genies. Pop a top, let one out ---Wooosh --- there could be a mad rush of them, and no easy way to steady the cork enough to get it back into the bottle.
Corks have a way of expanding once taken from bottles, too. How many steady hands, willing to keep corks in their own other bottles --- are we willing to bet would do that --- against the lives of South Koreans living in densely populated areas?
One genie go fly you say? Everybody knows you can't eat launch just one.
Has anyone run this by those guys? If we'd need bank on it, then they'd need be the lead instigators from the first of it.
You're talking ---have the Trumpster make war on North Korea without prior congressional approval, too.
Gee Wally. How'd you get so ambitious (with potentially hundreds of thousands of lives -- if not millions of mussed up Our everybody's hair, a little).
What glories past are we fighting the last war this time? Ya' never did get those ~the wrong~ cannons you'd Charged at way back when. Are you sure you're aiming up the right gully?
