Worst case scenario a bunch of Obama-voting cities get blown up here. So it’s a ‘no lose’ situation for Trump.

You mean like Fresno?

Are you still drinking your own urine when you wake up in the morning? I can’t believe you posted that? LOL

Ya, and the server is there too. Nuclear war wouldn't be any fun if Freerepublic went down.

Getting a nuke on a missile may be the last hurdle. The Norkies may find that attempts at kamikazes may be more tempting. Stress on attempts. It’s now possible to track nuke materials via satellite and if the Norkies try to ship it our way, Trump will know.

“Kim would bear the greatest share of responsibility for such a catastrophe, but for the U.S. to force his hand with a first strike, to do so without severe provocation or an immediate and dire threat, would be not only foolhardy but morally indefensible. That this decision now rests with Donald Trump, who has not shown abundant capacity for moral judgment, is not reassuring.”

Bullshit.

Hit them with 200 strategic warheads in the next hour. When launched, issue a formal statement that any nation which interferes with the movement of US forces will be met with lethal force.

Kim has a while before his buffalo can really ripen into a foolish attack. But Donald’s already calling Kim out as the little runt he is.

In a word, nope.

Panic would set in and it would start a ripple in the economy of the Far East, which could have a pretty nasty impact around the world.

I would hope the smart folks in Seoul would start a summer vacation to the old family homestead.

Seoul will probably have to fight this one in situ. It might be easier than we think. Even Kim’s goons won’t necessarily want to go down with the bad ship Norkieland.

Trump had a meeting with Congress about a month ago (it might have just been the Senate) to update them on NK.

Sure all these options were mentioned.

I don’t think at this point it’s “morally indefensible” to wipe out the guy threatening to destroy you and developing weapons every day to do so.

Btw, I wanted to talk about the political ‘fallout’ of such a move, but got called a ‘retard’ so I won’t! lol

As we now face a North Korea ruled by a madman and armed with nuclear weapons that will soon be capable of reaching us, let’s take a moment to thank Pakistan, which illegally sold nuclear material and technology to North Korea for decades and made all this possible.

California could be nuked? And what’s the problem?

I'll tell what the problem is: fallout. We're downwind.

I’m sorry I offended your sense of humor.

Next time a southerner suggests the same toward Yankees north of the Mason-Dixon b/c the Sotherners are still fighting the Civil War, I suspect you’ll reply in kind.

Thank you in advance. I think you will be very busy.

I read that China/Beijing is “urgently” recruiting Korean-Chinese interpreters at the borders. They are anticipating an substantial exodus.

“Get them at least 60 miles from the border.
Do it over a matter of several days. Of course this couldn’t be long term. Is it feasible?”

.
If we can be successful evacuating Seoul, we can use the experience gained in getting rid of our illegals.
