Trump On North Korea: ‘Sorry, But Only One Thing Will Work!’
The Washington Post ^ | 10/07/17 | Jenna Johnson

Posted on 10/07/2017 7:28:24 PM PDT by Enlightened1

President Trump continued to make vague threats toward North Korea on Saturday, saying that diplomatic negotiations and agreements over the years have not worked and that “only one thing will work,” without elaborating on what that one thing would be.

“Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid . . . hasn't worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!” Trump tweeted in two messages on Saturday afternoon.

"Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid......"

"...hasn't worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!"

-President Trump

I'm sure that little potbelly pig in North Korea is getting nervous.

The only way to stop North Korea from attacking Soul, Tokyo or the U.S. is 150 tactical nukes, and then perhaps mop up operations afterwards?

That’s been one of the main military plans for a long time.

This is because you cannot hit North Korea in a tit for tat war. North Korea has what is estimated over 100,000 pieces of artillery and rockets pointed at Seoul, and will start shelling the city immediately which is only 35 miles from the DMZ. Plus they have tunneled to it too, and they have 2 million man army.

North Korea has nukes, thanks to the Clinton’s,and they can most likely hit Tokyo. Which is the largest city in the world. Population wise.

Thus, the only way to stop this and not getting stuck in some sort of Vietnam or Afghanistan is with tactical nukes.

If anyone can prevail over Rocket Man with psy-ops, it’s Trump. That’s his wheelhouse.

So since North Korea loading up and will fire another missile. Most likely over Japan which upsets them big time. I see their point. If Cuba was firing missiles over the U.S. we would not be pleased about it.

Anyway, it will not be a successful PSYOP if they fire another over Japan and we do nothing.

I’m okay with that and we should flood the tunnels once the bulk of the North Korean Army is in it.

So the target list for war with NK has 150 tac nuke targets? BS.

Every piece of arty is targeted that is emplaced and within range of Seoul. Has NK upgraded their arty OOB, 35 miles is a long tube artillery shot?

2 million man army? Then have more than doubled that in the last 18 years.

Thus, the only way to stop this and not getting stuck in some sort of Vietnam or Afghanistan is with tactical nukes.

No it isn't. If it be nukes they won't be tactical.

My reading of the tea leaves is that Trump is ordering the military to attempt to shoot down the next missile test.

You are probably correct, but then do you think North Korea will retaliate by shelling Seoul?

General Douglas MacArthur wanted to use nukes in the 1950s in Korea. To say it’s not likely is simply not the case.

According to what I have read over the years is they have the ability to hit Seoul with Artillery and rockets. That’s not even debated.

Maybe it’s more than 2 million men, but that’s the number I have been hearing.

Tactical nukes tend to be smaller yielding than standard ICBM with multiple warheads.
