Trump won't attack North Korea. He's a pu**y!
Kim has him cucked!
What a dumb topic.
The USA has the means to remove NK off the planet.
NK knows this and won't do jack ****.
It almost sounds if Andy is Kims bitch
TBH, the whole thing is quite alarming.....2 nuclear powers threatening each other....the only good thing is that Kim hasn't got any buddies in the playground, so it's unlikely to escalate beyond that sticky-out bit in the Pacific!!
Whatever happened to diplomacy?
Relatively recent history (WW2) shows us the scale of the problem you can end up facing if you seek to appease a character like Adolf Hitler and under-estimate the threat he poses. And I would say Hitler had considerably more intelligence and a clearer strategic purpose than Kim Jong Un, who demonstrates the same psychopathic desire for control and the same disregard for risk, but also with less rational thinking.
The approach of previous American Presidents and other world leaders towards North Korea has mirrored the approach taken towards Germany in the ten years prior to WW2, either because they thought North Korea would never become such a threat, or because they knew that confronting the threat would cause a disaster in the region and cost thousands of lives.
Unfortunately, by not intervening sooner, all they have ensured is that the threat has grown larger, and that tackling it will be several times more difficult than it would have been some years ago. It certainly is not going to change or go away. We cannot "finesse" our way out of this with diplomacy and sanctions. Unless there is some sort of internal coup, which seems unlikely, then sooner or later North Korea will move to a level of provocation, if not an outright attack, to which the only response can be force.
Donald Trump isn't necessarily the man I would have chosen to be dealing with this powder keg at the critical moment, but neither is he to blame for it. He is inheriting a dilemma caused by many years of inaction and appeasement.
Despite all his tough talk, he's done absolutely nothing about NK. Doesn't even know which direction his ships are going. How many 'last warnings' does Kim Jung Un get? As many as he wants, because Trump is completely impotent. Might as well just shut his big mouth before Kim fills it for him.
Trump's been pwned!
Trump's been pawned? How much did they get for him?
Like I've said above, a succession of American Presidents have, in effect, been owned by North Korea in the sense that they've kept giving out stern warnings but have done nothing, mainly because of the implications for South Korea. Perhaps Trump will go down the same route for all his tough talk, but I think he's still the most likely to actually do something.
As Kelsdyke says, it's a strange thing to wish for, but ultimately the west may have no choice. If and when North Korea finalise their nuclear option (if they haven't got it already) I don't think Kim Jong Un is just going to sit back and relax. He will be even more emboldened and reckless.
