DONALD Trump has held a meeting on the growing North Korea crisis in the White House's famous "situation room" along with the US Generals, reports say.

Trump is reported to have held a briefing on North Korea at the White House along with US National Security Council.

The situation room often hosts "war councils" during times of conflict, and was famously where Barack Obama monitored the mission to kill Osama bin Laden.

Tensions between the US and North Korea have been worsening as Kim refuses to give up his quest for nuclear capable ICBMs.

Yesterday, General James Mattis warned the US Army to "stand ready" for war with North Korea – and he was in today's major meeting.

However, the US have repeatedly said diplomacy is the preferred sol

Lol That was a good scene.

Only the end of the KIM regime will restore sanity in the far east.

If this is true I have two hopes.One is that the Generals and Admirals advising him actually *know* what it would take to take this psychopath out.The second is that assuming that these officers *do* know what we are,and are not,capable of doing I hope that DJT takes whatever advice they give him as gospel.If they advise “yes,it will be easy” or “yes,we can do it but it will be ugly” or “bad idea,his current capabilities would mean that the price that our people,South Korea,Japan and others would pay would be hard to exaggerate” he should go with it.

Only thing missing was the meme!

“I can’t tell you. That’s classified”

In most cases wars do not get started under Republicans. Dole paid the price for saying it. Under Republicans our defenses are better. No one messes with us. That’s why. Unfortunately the Norks could be as crazy as the moozlems. That’s why Trump will have to take out the mullas in Iran once the Sorks begin the cleanup.

can someone lay out the legality on this option? Declaration of war by congress? War powers act of the president?

>>Lots of things are important. The invasion of Normandy was important but I don’t remember them putting out a press release about it.

Different times. No satellites or internet. No soldiers posting statuses on FB. Releasing information before the strike, or as a bluff, is all part of the big game now.

Loose lips used to sink ships. Now, they create movement that our satellites can see, catalog, and correlate.

[bagster]

Good to see the Limey’s supporting the war effort.

[dp0622]

Yes. Nothing else but his demise is needed.

[Autonomous User]

Gee, I wish we had one of them doomsday machines.

[proust]

Fake news, there is no war room in the White House.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Possibly.

[SamAdams76]

Everybody knew D-Day was coming and the media at the time reported the build up and even that Eisenhower was Commander of it. Just didn’t knew when and where.

I didn’t see the when and where in this article either.

[L,TOWM]

Don’t think it would take either one. We only agreed to a cease fire in 1953 and never formally lifted the UN “police action” resolution. We and the NORKS are still legally in a state of hostilities as co-belligerents.

[bigbob]

Heck, FReepers seem convinced AG Sessions is asleep because he doesn’t post his every move, so why not have the same expectations for DoD?

[rdl6989]

I agree, this puts the pressure on Pyonyang.

[PlateOfShrimp]

You can tell me, I’m a doctor.
