Aaaah the world is so scary. I think if they did that, North Korea would be flattened in a few mins tho so hopefully they'll see sense and not do anything

Empty threats, they don't have the funds to launch a missile that can get out of the Peninsula, never mind managing to get a nuke to the US. Even if they did, it would ultimately be suicidal.
NK is all bark and no bite when it comes to International matters. |

Such a pitiful little country and such a tiresome subject. The bravado that rears up once a year would be laughable if it wasn't so alarming and dangerous. He and their dictatorship should've been wiped out years ago.

they have to back him up otherwise they would get killed. I read a story about a girl who escaped from north korea to south korea and she said a woman was killed in front of her family just because she watched a hollywood film.

Trump probably needs a war or some kind of incident to distract from the scandal and chaos of his own administration. Not surprised he was stupid enough to declare 'Fire and Fury' when asked a simple question by a journalist. Even someone as evil as Dick Cheney had a bit more discretion when answering off the cuff questions. The signing was about an Opioid crisis so why the hell is he declaring such power against Korea at a meeting that has nothing to do with North Korea? Surprised he hasnt doubled down on twitter.
Wasn't this type of war mongering the reason why so many didn't want HRC? Trump is definitely stupid enough to go to war, and it would detract from the failings of his administration, so lets hope someone can talk him out of it

I don't blame trump for shaking the rhetoric up a bit when nothing else seems to have an effect on the NK leadership.
There isn't a US president that wouldnt flatten NK if they attempted to nuke them so why not let them know. Last edited by bots; 10-08-2017 at 06:03 AM. |

And as for America 'beating' North Korea in a nuclear war............just google Mutually Assured Destruction. The only reason Trump started again with his idiotic threats this week is because he knew the news was coming about the FBI raiding his ex Campaign Manager's home in a dawn raid to seize financial documents (and more). When dictators are up against the ropes the frequently try to start wars as a distraction. Trump's done! Just a matter of time now before the moron and the majority of his monkey's are ousted. |

M.A.D only comes into effect in this scenario if China or Russia were to get involved on NK's behalf... with Russia-NK relations being lukewarm at best and China-NK relations descending into frustration for quite a few years now, and China enjoying its economic relationship with the west probably far more than it values NK as an "ally". Without outside involvement, the US could wipe NK off the map without much if any meaningful damage. Physical damage, anyway. The diplomatic implications of nuking the **** out of a population of innocent people under an oppressive dictatorship would be huge. |

The aggression is worrying and I'd like to believe NK aren't that crazy but their language has been very threatening this year so who knows. They may not have the capability now but they are clearly seeking it.
I wouldn't be very surprised if the regime falls through some sort of coup in the not too distant future. The other options seem to be running out and even China who were thought to hold the leash don't seem to have much influence.

North Korea is falling apart following decades of under-investment in infrastructure while more money is diverted to the military. They make virtually nothing and most of their exports are minerals, metal and fish, almost 70% of which goes straight into China. If they launched a nuclear strike on the USA it would be would be suicide. The weapon would be intercepted and North Korea, should they not capitulate immediately, would most likely be bombed into something resembling a snooker table, only concrete coloured.

The only way NK could win against the USA is if it were to wipe it out completely and all of its allies, and they would need to achieve all that within a window of a couple of minutes of their first strike. Anything else and they will get wiped off the face of the planet. I know who my money is on.
