Bellicose rhetoric from Donald Trump has heightened tensions in the region in recent months, prompting British officials to draw up military plans for a response to a break out of hostilities, it was reported.

They speak of the bellicose rhetoric from Donald Trump, but what about the rant coming from Kim Jong Un? Let us place the blame for this growing animosity squarely where it belongs, because President Trump is RESPONDING to some very incendiary talk and saber-rattling.

Kim Jong Un has a perfectly good opportunity to back down right now. If he had a lick of sense, he would LISTEN to the Chinese government, or he could find himself up a very fecal-laden tributary without a paddle.

In fact, Kim Jong Un may want to retire.

Pres Trump is not the cause of the problem, decades of appeasement is the problem, should we wait till the little chunky dictator has hundreds of nukes, either give him everything he wants and hope it doesn't’ go the way of Chamberlain “peace in our time” or deal with him and end this game. It will not be pretty and many will die, or maybe he loves life more than death and once his bluff is called he will fold, interesting how no one brings up this option

I hope the world is ready for this one...

I’ve already served my time, she’d blood and sweat in two conflicts for this nation. Time for someone else to go down range.

From what I understand this one will be completely different and will change the face of the world significantly.

This isn’t Iraq or Afghanistan.

Umm it’s not President Trump who has been using “bellicose rhetoric”.

“North Korean leader Kim Jong-un taunted the US on Wednesday after carrying out an intercontinental ballistic missile test, saying it was a “gift” to “American bastards” on their independence day. ... “

^^^^^That’s the only bellicose statement I’ve heard.

More “bellicose” bullsh*t from a defeated nation, whose population, while voting to extract themselves from tyrannical EU rule, then proceeded to re-elect a globalist half-wit who surrendered England to the musloid monkeys.

Sorry, UK, but you have neither a dog in this fight, nor the stomach to fight. So, please, just STFU - for once.

The rule for wussified prima donna sophisticates is “do not challenge bullies. Reward them for being nice.” They are afraid of rocket boy. They are not afraid of Trump except for his refusal to back down from rocket boy. Trump is dangerous because he calls out their cowardice. They prefer to be seen as intelligent and circumspect, not the pussy cowards they are.

England will need missiles and aircraft that they do not have now.

Almost identical to Iraq except for the nukes. Remember the fear we had for the “4th largest army in the world”?

My guess is that China will invade NK to proactively “protect it” from imperialists.

The Kimster has one goal in mind: Keeping his dictatorship intact.

Internally, he executes those (and their families) who threaten his regime. That keeps both the generals and peasants in line. Nobody wants to try and remove him from power, knowing that not only will they die in a horrific way, but so will their families.

Externally, he does that by building a nuclear weapons system, which makes it very dangerous for an outside threat to remove him from power.

If we attack him, he will try and kill millions of innocent South Koreans and Japanese, and he could very well succeed in killing a large number of innocent people.
