BREAKING: Trump summons US Generals to White House WAR ROOM over North Korea
Daily Star ^ | October 10, 2017 | Henry Holloway

DONALD Trump has held a meeting on the growing North Korea crisis in the White House's famous "situation room" along with the US Generals, reports say.

Trump is reported to have held a briefing on North Korea at the White House along with US National Security Council.

The situation room often hosts "war councils" during times of conflict, and was famously where Barack Obama monitored the mission to kill Osama bin Laden.

Tensions between the US and North Korea have been worsening as Kim refuses to give up his quest for nuclear capable ICBMs.

Yesterday, General James Mattis warned the US Army to "stand ready" for war with North Korea – and he was in today's major meeting.

However, the US have repeatedly said diplomacy is the preferred sol

I remember reading an article about Monica Lewinsky a while back. That was supposed to be a secret.

This is all about tightening Chinese sphincters and hope they do the job Russia is doing for us in Syria. It’s the old paint the fence maneuver from “Tom Sawyer”.

Congress effectively abdicated its power to the UN.

The UN declared the conflict and committed US troops.

Maybe we can get out of Korea and the UN when this has run its course?

Thanks, did some research and there was no declaration of war, some senator at the time said if someone breaks into your house you shoot him you don’t go to the police station..... um , I don’t consider south Korea as part of my house.

Yes indeed it is about China. Kim Jong Un is bonkers - Thinking that he will back down when the tensions ratchet up is not realistic. He is not sane. China however is quite sane and REALLY wants to avoid any massive instability in NK. They have the power to make Kim go away for good. It will be costly, and dangerous to use that power so they would rather not, which is why we must give them good reasons to act.

Shhhhhhh..... don’t tell anyone but president Trump is planning to bomb the NFL.....

Because he is secretly a white supremacist.....

Seriously, I would guess this is a head fake.......to keep China and the Norks on their toes....

But then again, a good head fake has some truth......

I would imagine the president and staff sometimes hold dress rehearsals in there to make sure all the comms equipment is working, to make sure everyone knows how to do their thing in there and so on. We wouldn't want them to all have to learn that stuff "on the job" in the middle of a real crisis.

Defending Sessions on a nork thread is telling.

There’s gotta be a way to go after these criminals without making South Korea too vulnerable.

Use precise intelligence and execution. Maybe infiltrate the DMZ and coordinate a DMZ malfunction with surgical strikes starting at the DMV itself.

Maybe infiltrate Kim’s palace guard and coordinate an assassination.. Maybe find resistance forces within NK and help them overthrow Kim’s criminal organization.

there is no war room in the White House.

You sure about that? If there isn't there should be. He's the Commander in Chief for goodness sake.

I don’t think Jeff Sessions is asleep. He’s perfectly worthless while wide awake.
