    Trump likes drama and he likes to play the hero.

    Good point, I was in Japan several times in 1965,66,67(only 20 years after WW2) as a soldier and never once was I mistreated or disrespected.

    I can't believe you think that posting a satellite photo showing where light bulbs are lit is evidence of starving! Oh dear! As for your link, where are these starving people? I see children working, the same aged children that are making Melania's clothes in China, the same aged children that work in all poorer countries.

    Are you suggestion that the main reason Kim Jong-un needs to be deal with is because he's fat? Because that's what it sounds like your saying, and I just wanted to point out that Trump has a little done-lap going on himself if you hadn't noticed.

    Back to the negotiating table ?? The US admin will not talk to N.Korea (not sit down at the table).

    The media can not manage to get through an article these days without false narrative.

    They have no almost no infrastructure to can and preserve food. And even if they did, their production is very limited in relationship to the population.
    The elites get the vast majority of anything that is wholesome.

    So their diet is based totally on the availability of recently harvested crops. Members of their military are significantly underfed at least 5 months out of the year.

    did you read my post, i said because we drop two nuke, they surrender. without that, japan was willing fight to the last man due to their imperial military bushido code. This was show time and time ago when we send troops to their outer islands(entire village sucide instead surrander). sucide charge, yamakiza remember?
    as for your last sentence what are you talking about, NKorean has been told by kim regime since childhood that US was out to get them etc for 60+ years, all their info is tightly controlled. you go into a country full of ppl like that, you expect them to weclome you? it will be an occupy force for decades to come.

    Japan freaking surrendered, so the entire claim that they were willing to fight according to the bushido code is nonsense! You've been indoctrinated with that so you lot got an excuse of why it is good the US massacred civilians on purpose.

    You've been fed the story that massacring civilians with a nuclear bomb is excusable since childhood. Look at you go! lol

    Yeah.. well. The US gave that a try in Iraq. Look at how it went. The US removed it's government, and ISIS was born in that total chaos and anarchy the US caused on purpose. The US gave that a try in Afghanistan. What does it got to show after 10 years? A totally destroyed country still in the hands of the Taliban. The US gave it a try in Vietnam. It dropped more bombs there than in WWII. Bombed civilians with napalm. Spread that cancerous agent orange all over. It got nothing to show besides 100.000's of dead people in a worn torn country, with it's land poisoned so they still suffer today.

    No more puppets, please. If Xi wants to send in the PLA, they had better go in to end that ridiculous regime entirely. Enough of this Soviet throwback madness in North Korea. Let these people be free of their tyranny.

    It's not right to compare Iraq to the Koreas. Very different situations.

    I can't see gc17's photo but it probably does reflect the fact that resources and services are disproportionally allotted to the nomenklatura and apparatchiks in Pyongyang. That has to be one of the world's worst kept secrets.

    As for evidence of starving people I'm surprised that you would deny this given all the evidence the world has seen over the years but maybe this UN report will convince you otherwise:

    http://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/DPRK Needs and Priorities 2017.pdf

    As the article linked to the report points out:


    Note that the "lack of access to basic services" is mentioned....

    No it didn't. :roll:

    Imperial Japan announced its surrender on August 15, 1945, which was 6 days after the bombing of Nagasaki and 9 days after the bombing of Hiroshima.

    Do yourself a favor and study History before you comment on it...

    To compare this is just. The US has done a terrible job occupying countries since 1945.

    I don't think so. The US has done a fantastic job of securing freedom and liberty for those who desire it. It's been difficult successfully combating various foes with other plans, however.

    Just more of the neocon insanity. This isn't going to turn out well, for anyone. You can't take NK by air strikes, it will take more troops than we currently have. NK has been paranoid since right after the fighting stopped, and have starved their own people in order to build up their military. The only reason NK wanted nukes was to keep what the US wants to do now, at bay. As insurance. As long as they were not threatened with a real attack, they would never have used nukes on anyone. If they get attacked they will use them and we had to destroy Korea, north and south in order to save korea. Crazy stuff here.

    We have run military exercises, naval and land based for decades, aggressive exercises to remind NK we were ready to invade, to be the aggressor. What would any nation have done with this threat? Well, they would want to stop the threat by having nukes which could hit us if it ever came down, inhibiting us from ever invading them. They have watched us invade the middle east, breaking international law. This made them want nukes even more, and to develop the ability to use them.

    Of course, putting a halt to aggressive, offensive military exercises would have lessened the tensions long ago, but we only ramped them up. NK will not give up their only tool for safety. Can't blame them, given our own history.

    Well, I guess the depopulation is a real chance now. And who is to say china and Russia will not become involved? This is careless irresponsibility on our part. But, you faux liberals might as well kiss your arse goodbye, for the draft will be put into place again, and you will finally have to serve. But if you live, you will come back as rational beings, with some damn sense. War gets rid of the luxury of bullshit ideologies.

    "Fox News Poll: 53 percent favor military action to stop North Korea nukes program"

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...action-to-stop-north-korea-nukes-program.html

    "It will take military force to stop North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, a majority of voters believe -- and they tend to favor the U.S. taking that action.

    "That’s according to the latest national Fox News Poll of registered voters.

    "Fifty-one percent say that U.S. military action will be required to keep the rogue nation from continuing its nuclear weapons program, while 36 percent think diplomacy alone can stop it.

    "By a 53-39 percent margin, voters favor the U.S. using military force to keep North Korea from making further advancements on nukes. "

    Why no mention of the obvious fact that regular "war games" by thousands of US troops in South Korea simulating an invasion are a major factor influencing North Korea's decision to acquire nuclear weapons?

    No no it's not just that he's fat. It's rather the course NK or rather KJU painted for himself. The sheer height of folly. A literal 3rd world country from an Economic, Infrastructure standpoint but has nuclear weapon capability and does nothing but flaunt that fact with ballistic testing of missile delivery systems at ever opportunity?

    NK and KJU rather made the gross error of investing all resources into this endeavor. To what end? Where is the gain for the literally stunted NK people?

    He has painted them a course and controlled the NK peoples perception that this was needed. China backing off leaves him vulnerable and now WE as a global community need to remove him. Replaced with a more moderate economic understanding elite

    IMO they don't do most small countries any good; they become a costly burden.

    Seriously? The US turned a heck of a lot of democratic countries into fascist dictatorships in Latin America. They did that to Iran too. And when Iran kicked their puppet out, they put Saddam Hussein in the seat to rage a WMD war against them.

    So it did totally the opposite of securing freedom and liberty. Even when Pinochet died,.. they called his massacring fascist reign that they fully supported a "difficult period". But good for you to see US supported fascist dictatorships as "freedom" and "liberty"

    North Korea laid the egg when they violated the 1992 Denuclearization Treaty and withdrew from the 1953 Armistice.

    Wait a minute, I don't support what North Korea is doing but the NPT is both voluntary and Article 10 allows for withdraw. That's the NPT write-up, that's the facts. The treaty was weak from the beginning.
