Vice President Pence jets into Seoul as Korea tensions ratched up; British officials are told Washington is considering a preemptive attack.

US Vice President Mike Pence will arrive in Seoul Sunday, flying into a geopolitical maelstrom amid a possible North Korean nuclear test and harsh warnings about a military response.

Time is now. Get it done. Retreating from this makes matters worse and emboldens the Nork brat.

My concern is that many media articles, foreign and domestic, can be the deep state, using their media shills for “anonymous” sources, to push a policy line that may not in fact be Trump’s own intentions.

I would warn everyone to take with a grain of salt EVERY media report of what “could” happen.

There will be plenty of time to judge things that actually do happen, after they happen.

When would the evacuation of military dependents in S. Korea occur? Would a travel advisory be announced to those who plan to go to S. Korea? Would the attack proceed without any evacuation of U.S. citizens currently in S. Korea?

I am afraid it has reached the point where we cannot kick the can down the road anymore. I would bet this is the reason that Vice President Pence is visiting the Asian countries in the region.

So all you pearl neckless clutchers had better hold on tight to them and/or assume the fetal position.

What about all of the non-nuclear weapons aimed at Seoul? That is the current threat - the nukes & ICBMs donot always seem fully functional.

North Korea is a toilet that has needed flushing for sixty years.

Mark the spot as the US M.O.A.B. weapons test zone in North Korea.

Just keep dropping MOAB's in the area.

When the rains come, it will form a lake. Only problem is that it might have radioactive water...

20 M.O.A.B.'s would be a start for this weapons test area...

Without Nukes, North Korea’s ICBM’s are a problem, but a minor one... A nuclear tipped ICBM is a different story. It can ruin one’s day.

“Better get that M.O.A.B. assembly line working;a new order will be placed shortly.”

I read somewhere we only have 16. We definitely need more. What about building something like the Russians FOAB? A fuel air bomb that is smaller but has the TNT equivalent of 44 thousand pounds.

Moar Bigger Bombs!

I think President Trump got the go ahead from Chinese President Xi Jinping to take out the psychologically deranged Kim Jong-un. What are the chances of another psychopath stepping into Kim’s place to lead North Korea down the nuclear path of terror? It is minimal and with Kim Jong-un’s half-brother assassinated, those who are left would spark a complicated family battle for succession that could upend the viability of the regime. North Korea may have the chance of electing, through a democratic election, a leader sane of mind and willing to open North Korea’s border to the South. The chaos left after a surgical strike on Kim Jong-un would be minuscule compared to an EMP nuclear strike on Japan or, may God help us, Los Angeles. It might even be a national day of joy for North and South Korea.

The Berlin Wall comes to mind.

We may have 16 MOAB’s on paper, but we may have some hidden to top secrecy. Perhaps a orbital launch platform in a polar orbit would have them. It makes sense because you don’t want a nuke falling to earth from orbit from some kind of accident.
