    Well said! We need to call out China much more on her dispicable colaboration with NK, but somehow it gets ignored by wider media.

    If China "runs" NK, it can neutralize the nukes.

    The point is not to just sink ships. It is to impress on Kim (and more importantly the Chinese) that we have the capability and the will to attack with precision any target we choose in North Korea (and China if need be) including any hole that Kim is hiding in.

    Currently, North Korea could not come within a hundred miles of hitting an island the size of Guam let alone a ship at sea.

    The idea is to press the Chinese to curb Kim, or face the consequences of his actions.

    Tough luck your Japanese Empire didn't kill more people or win the war.

    Kim Jung Un already knows all that. He knows we could bomb, missile strike and drone strike anywhere in N. Korea we want to. He knows this. Everyone knows this.

    All we would be proving is that he is free to do whatever he wants because we'll actually do nothing. Better to do nothing than act like chumps and idiots, as in proving we are again doing nothing than we always do towards him: cry wolf.

    China isn't going to help us. We are China's only real rival in the entire region.

    What did you think of my idea?

    Yeah Trump started to threaten NK. Who started to launch missiles on Japan water area ? Who is developping nukes ?

    That is one of the more stupid posts I've seen here which is saying a lot.

    They have nothing to put in the air that won't be dead. If it flies it dies here is never truer.

    They could have a two million man army and they will still be killed although it'll take a week or so. Many will surrender. SK troops will not join them but we have to remember there are ties between SK and NK; familial ties that are strong. We cannot condemn the NK people. It is the regime that is evil.

    Artillery and airpower kill troops. Those that hide underground do require ferreting out by troops. But again most will eventually surrender. Once the regime is toppled, assuming there is war, they will need to be able to drop leaflets liberally.

    It is the artillery we need to take out and perhaps some missiles.

    China has threatened the US if they start a war. That's a new wrinkle.

    Honestly, I hope that trump will be impeached and leave White House at best yesterday! But your frustration about the biggest US state, because kicking this fool and dumbass in White House so often in the a** is obviously huge!

    There is a saying in my country ... "how it is shouted into the woods, it will come back the same as echo!"

    So, sorry to say, but Trump started this dirty and nasty behavior during the election campaigns and did minimum worst arguing as it is now done against him. So, sorry to say, but everyone gets what he earns!

    And no, I am no Hillary fan as still told often enough and for me it would be same worse if she had won!

    What was avoided? You want an answer like '$42,789,654.93' or something for your rhetorical question? It's you who seems to be avoiding the issue.

    I'm sorry you feel that way but he is leading the country and now is not the time for you to whine about that

    Unfortunately trump is getting support from only half the people in America over a very serious national security issue that may become a nuclear war

    You need to calm down and think as an American not as a disappointed leftwinger who didnot vote for trump

    And, as for all the schoolgirlish whining about 'major nuclear war n stuff', we won't have to use nukes to rub out this little piece of lice, so quit getting all hysterical and silly over it.

    So does your defense secretary. He is in the background trying to reach a diplomatic agreement while the child in charge is spouting more aggressive crap. Mattis must hold his head in his hands every time Trump opens his mouth and undermines him.

    Do you really think that Kim has control of a nuclear button? He has as much control as Trump has - there is not a button in their bedroom that is just pressed to fire a nuclear weapon. You watch too many Hollywood films

    Red China isn't going to go to war and lose all our business over the Mad Midget getting stepped on. By Trump jacking up the stakes, they are going to have to take care of their little pet poodle themselves, and lose face in process. Kim just suddenly 'disappearing' or getting shot in the head by one of his own is their best option; if they intend to keep up their bluff via Kim then they will get to watch how quickly he goes up in smoke, and all we will hear out of them is the same sort of insipid hypocritical drivel we always hear out of left wingers.

    LOL at your "you need to calm down" statement. It is you war mongers that are wetting their pants in fear and stating that NK must be bombed before "we" are bombed.

    You are not thinking rationally

    I do not want war any more than you do

    The question is how much national security are you willing to give up by allowing kim to bully and threaten the US

    Becasue kim with a large stockpile of nuclear weapons will be even more bellicose and offensive then he is now

    I hope he is not the only one

    Trump is not the aggressor that you say he is

    if kim lauches missles aimed at Guam that is an act of aggression that cannot be ignored

    No one denies that this would be an act of war, if Kim shots missiles towards Guam ... or shots whatever or with whatever against whatever outside NK territory!

    But if this does not happen, but we get suddenly "breaking news" of some hundred shot cruise missiles and a dozen bomb raids by B-1 or B-2 bombers by local night time, then you know who the aggressor is!

    I was hoping china would settle the problem by removing kim from power

    If that does not happen then it might mean nuclear war depending on what kim does next

    But we cannot allow him to become a nuclear power with icbm's

    I live in the UK and remember the cold war times and an attack would have reached the UK before the US - we had US nuclear bases within a few miles of every city. I remember the 1970's scare mongering TV adverts where we were told that on hearing the nuclear warning sirens to put a white sheet over our dining tables and sit underneath the table. We were also told to paint our front doors white. Bit odd was that we were told that we only would have 4 minutes after hearing the sirens before the bombs reached us so not sure how they expected us to do all this. Every house had a booklet delivered that was titled something like "What to do if you hear the nuclear sirens". There was no rational thinking during the cold war.

    My parents remember the Cuban crisis and my mum was worried. The UK was just as much a target as any US city

    lol the British nuclear policy on using nuclear weapons was more aggressive than ours was, though not as aggressive as the French's, so your lurid left wing fantasies are mis-placed, as they all are these days.

    The 'Old Left' was a bit more realistic in their day re Stalinists and Maoists and all of their pet dictators, but these modern leftists and faux 'progressives' are full on loons and sickos, entirely incapable of making any sense at all about anything. Next they will be claiming seriously with straight faces that we could save ourselves if we sent a troupe of 'transexual' dancers and vegan dieticians to NK to change The Mad Midget's mind on all this.

    Look at what Dennis Rodman achieved!!! lol

    And what will you do to prevent this? Attacking him preemptive and causing a more regional nuclear war?
    Do you really think that any so called surgical Air raid by bombers and / or cruise missiles towards missiles sites will end this threat? Do you really think that Kim will not react with counter attacks on it ... for which he is then ironically by law allowed (due to the articles of the cease fire agreement in 1953!)?
    Do you really believe to hit all missiles? I will remember you for the mobile missile launchers od Saddam and what difficulties the US had to catch the Iraqi one in 1991 and 2003 ... and Kim has not only a multiple time more Scud launchers as Saddam, but much other types of bigger missiles as Scud's?

    Hopefully you are not one of these low brainers who seriously think that a war with NK ... even pure conventional fought ... is not more worse as war of 2003 against Saddam!
