The unpredictable and increasingly dangerous North Korea celebrated the fourth of July by launching its own rocket into the air. But this was far from a firework sent to the sky to celebrate a country’s independence. The North Korean regime has successfully launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching Alaska but not the mainland.
At least, not yet.
North Korea is a growing threat to the U.S. as Trump and his generals ponder what to do. The latest weapons test caught American military officials off guard as it included a new type of missile fired from a mobile launch site. There is now growing concern that the Trump administration and its group of neoconservative generals are moving closer to taking military action.
General Vincent Brooks, the top American military commander in South Korea, said on Wednesday that the U.S. and South Korea were prepared to go to war with the North if given the order. This preemptive strike would be catastrophic for the peninsula, on which 28,500 U.S. troops are still stationed and where over 10 million South Koreans live in the city of Seoul, only 35 miles from the border.

Normal diplomatic relations will not work with the little fat dictator...
If we are going to take out the nuke sites we need to have someone take out fat boy at the same time
The answer to both questions is no.
Stick a time bomb up Rodmans ass send him over to say hi
Install an American puppet in N Korea.
Why not?
Because China has absolute control over the NK leadership.
No matter what happens.
They would not arm NK without total assurance that it’s arms could not be turned against them.
Ergo: China can end this in a heartbeat.

Donald is hard to read. Might he taunt the little monster like he did the news?
Dennis would probably like it.

It’s ridiculous to posit that the US might take direct (or even indirect) military action against the fat little kid with the bad haircut.
That’s China’s job. And if Trump and his administration are doing their jobs, they are diplomatically encouraging China to take that action.
It’s more in their best interests anyways.
We actually are in a state of war with N Korea right now. Kim Jong Un unilaterally abrogated the ceasefire several years ago soon after he became dictator.
Why not just shoot down every missile test?
I think we’d be very pleasantly surprised at how quickly the US would take out the NK artillery aimed at Seoul.
China doesn’t want an exodus of N. Koreans into China, so we might need to leave some dictator in charge.
It will be a Seoul searing mess, unless perhaps Donald can achieve such quick command and control that NK’s grim guards will either harakiri or surrender in gratefulness that the wicked warlock is dead and a savior has arrived.
It depends on whether we have developed the capability, or have pi**ed away the thirty years since the Gipper proposed SDI.
Maybe Donald is going through the motions of trying to bring China on board. Then if China keeps on refusing it’s on their government’s heads. That’s why Donald is still talking about how bad this monster is. Hello China? Is your conscience home?
Can’t be that hard to shoot down a slow rising rocket if you are firing from a ship within a few miles of the Korean Peninsula.
I would be fairly sure the US could do it against a small scale rogue yet.
Donald might be getting the taunting tweet ready for when it happens.
As long as it’s a manageable dictator and not the one who is there
“Hey you little two bit monster do you think you can do this forever?”
