“Despite efforts by the United Nations to impose isolating sanctions on North Korea in response to the country’s continued development of nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles, trade between Russia and North Korea soared more than 85 percent in the first four months of the year.”

You gonna pull them pistols or whistle Dixie?
For thos liberals who think that Trump is overreacting, I offer the following quote from JFK during the Cuban missile crisis: “Third: It shall be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba against any nation in the Western Hemisphere as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union (http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/jfkcubanmissilecrisis.html )”
You can bet that at least one of them is to deal with Kim with extreme prejudice.
No red lines from a Mom Jeans wearing Preezy, only statement of facts backed up with the full force of the US and allied military arrayed against an isolated peninsula. Looks like Lil Kim needs to hunker down and quiet his yap before he we turn the lights out on him.
Or is Mad Max right. Bluffing?
We should be removing all non essential personnel and family members from South Korea.
Actually I prefer the term “Cocked and Locked” over Lock n lOAD! It Clicks...there’s a ring to it!
but that goes way back to about 1926 and the USMC Circlar Letter for Marine Mail Guards....a bit of history hard-to-find anymore....

I don’t see this ending well at all for the Koreans, both North and South.
There are so many military responses at Trump’s disposal it would be hard to choose just one.
What does that even mean?
Good!
Let’s getter done!
I’m sick of that potbelly pig.
Time to make him squeal!
It will start with an arrant missile launch from DPRK that will by mistake, miscalculation, or lunacy have a flight trajectory which appears headed for any Japanese or U.S. territory. This missile will be intercepted and destroyed. This will have one of two secondary reactions. It will cause the DPRK to strike with more missiles or for them to launch an attack, which will put in motion the full United States planned military operation and obliteration of the DPRK. Or, after the first missile is intercepted the United States sets in motion a limited retaliatory strike on all DPRK nuclear infrastructure and munitions, which leads again to a full on war and obliteration of the DPRK.
“should North Korea act unwisely”
Does this mean that if North Korea doesn’t do anything the status quo remains? That doesn’t square with the opening line in the article.
“President Trump continued his aggressive rhetoric toward North Korea on Friday”
The troops and planes will be back to their home bases in 6 months ,, the Patriot missiles will remain in place.. FatBoy will feast on his new aid package and T-Bones and shrimp... whack a few Generals for sport. The media will yawwwn and move on.. to Iran?
The “New Normal”?
The Chinese need to be told the truth... CAPITALISM'S NOT A ZERO SUM GAME... If Little Norky Morky damages the United States China will go into a deep financial fall for decades.. along with most Asian countries and much of the world.
Also it would be insane for the United States to do a pinprick attack on North Korea... Norky Morky needs to know if he's attacked there won't be any country to go back to after he comes out of an underground shelter. Norky can live in China or South America but there will be NO NORTH KOREA.
Oh, good grief. Anyone see Fox News tonight? Looks like they got a memo to push the meme that Kim Jong Un is perfectly sane, rational, and only “moderately aggressive.” No doubt as a prelude to painting Donald Trump as an out of control, war-hungry lunatic who should be impeached as quickly as possible.
Except for the guys on Fox And Friends, I really do suspect that much of Fox News is the media equivalent of the Republican party . . . pretending to be on Trump’s side while doing everything they possible can to undercut him. Clearly Bret Baier holds Trump in complete contempt and doesn’t even bother to hide it.
Friggin’ losers. This country elected Donald Trump. If they don’t like it, let them go find another one (North Korea would seen to be a fit, seeing how much they respect Kim these days).
