Stop doubling down on this complete idiocy that has absolutely no bearing in the reality we live in

Either sort it diplomatically or leave it to China.

I don't give a **** about the US looking good, and Trump isn't going to look good no matter what happens because he is a moron.

I'm talking about liberation of the North Korean people vs. 100k lives.

I don't understand the relevance of that picture.

You're a fruitcake and you want us to completely ignore the results of the US liberating people. Iraq is a **** show, you've been told NK will be 10x worse.

Probably time to stop.

I am not any kind of cake, and obviously the assumption of this hypothetical is that the results would be good.

If the results will be bad then we should not do it.

Wouldn't getting rid of death camps be good?

It's what they want. They train for the moment the imperial pigdogs attack for their entire lives. Children and tourists alike can shoot guns at cutouts of American soldiers.

Does NK have nuclear missiles yet? I though they just had a bomb.

This Asian Boss guy on youtube has several up where he interviews NK defectors which are pretty interesting.

This is literally impossible. North Korean artillery could kill this many in the Seoul metro area alone before we could do anything about it.

Given the guy South Korea just elected, how long until Trump starts distancing himself away from South Korea and cozying up to North Korea? No way he prefers Moon Jae-in to Kim Jung-Un.

Trump does think Kim Jong-Un is a "pretty smart cookie."

Remember when North Korea was our biggest problem. Those were better days.

A missile test near Japan. Is the purpose a test or to scare everyone? This might came back to haunt us that we allowed North Korea to keep on improving their weapon capabilities knowing they were preparing for war...against us. No clue what right response is.

Pre-emptive strike seems super scary if we aren't able to perform a "Mission Accomplished." Plus, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians unilaterally can't be a politically good move.

Perfect opportunity for Russian Agent Orange to seek higher approval ratings. Not good.

Doesn't seem there is much sympathy for that American kid who came back recently in a coma and just died. He did go there knowing it was dangerous and may have tried to steal a poster.

I feel bad for his family but the outcome is not that surprising. And not sure we can really do anything.
