They agree with Rocket Man’s politics.

Re: “Correction, they hate America so much. Trump is just daring to stand up for their enemy - America.”

That’s a clever and well stated insight.

Thank you.

Of course, the only other alternative would be to side with Trump and that will never happen.

I say we let them hit Hollywood, say, “Is that all you got?” and then wipe them off the face of the earth. ;)

Given that hollowood wants to behead President Trump, I kinda sorta wonder if Trump even cares to defend hollowood against a nuke/emp strike.

If only we could isolate a liberal gene and develop a weapon that targets only individuals possessing it! But, we probably all have some loved ones who are wrong on this issue or that, and we don't want to lose them, too!

The corrupt media supported our enemies in the past so supporting our current enemies will be par for the course.

Oh please please please Lord, let's these wicked fools in the media be trapped by their own wicked words & actions as they continue to attack your anointed servant Mr Trump.

Let them be the laughing stock of the whole world in such a manner that it becomes a byword for a generation against them and all those who oppose your righteous people in the earth.

"Take out the artillery pointed at Seoul and be done with it."

North Korea has a ton of artillery at the DMZ, all either in defilade or in protected/tunneled positions.

Seoul, with a metro area population of more than 25 MILLION sitting less than 50 miles away from the border, is North Korea's insurance policy - the only reason North Korea still exists.

Despite what the armchair generals here say, this is an intractable problem to deal with. If the U.S. pre-emptively attacks N. Korea and millions (or even thousands) in Seoul die or are injured as a result, it is unlikely those in charge will survive the backlash.

Only way to do this is to somehow neutralize the artillery at the DMZ or stage a successful coup that takes out Rocket Man.

Surely the US has polished a strategy over nearly half a century for taking them out quickly and efficiently.

“Surely the US has polished a strategy over nearly half a century for taking them out quickly and efficiently.”

http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/could-north-korea-annihilate-seoul-its-artillery-20345?page=2

“Even if a million civilians were killed in Seoul it would ensure Kim’s untimely demise, and from his perspective that is still almost certainly a very bad trade.

North Korean artillery will undoubtedly play a very large role in any future conflict. While the Korean People’s Army certainly has a large amount of cannon and rocket artillery, recent experience suggests that it falls short of its actual potential. Furthermore, while an artillery attack on Seoul would undoubtedly cause a great deal of civilian casualties, there are numerous factors involved that would give the North pause before unleashing such a scenario. “
