OT - Trump & Kim Jung Un

[SmiffyPie]

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!

Andy, you are being extremely stupid on this post. Forget DT and his stupid posturing, and the same applies to KJU, all posture.
Are you seriously suggesting that the US should "removed" KJU by force? Are you seriously suggesting that the US (as it stands it would only be the US, it wouldn't get any UN backing (and Blair can't pull any strings these days)) should proceed with an attack on a sovereign nation that would in all probability suck in China and then God knows what would happen.
Really?

I also presume if it kicked off and escalated into something really nasty you would be at the front of the queue to sign on the dotted line? No, I didn't think so.

There will be no conscription in a nuclear war. You are out of time, Smiff.
I think Andy is implying that face to face shouting is a poor substitute for diplomacy. I agree with the opinion that the US has been indulging in a failed policy with regard to NK for many years.
You know what I would have done? Wrapped a huge food drop in US flags in areas of the country that the government couldn't easily reach. Then bombard the air waves with messages of friendship for the ordinary people. Much cheaper than military hardware and more effective. Lateral thinking isn't something you could ever accuse Haircut 100 of.

No sid, you'd have done your Neville Chamberlain impression and come home waving a piece of paper.
Its sad acts like you, who actually start wars by being complete wusses.

We are talking N Korean not mainland China. Any preemptive strike by the US would be to neutralise any nuclear weapon sites. IF China were to be dragged in (debatable) it would be a land/air conflict initially deploying tactical weapons not strategic. There would certainly be time to at least start to mobilise forces. There will certainly be time for Andy to head the queue.
Of course it would in all probability never happen unless Kim had a pop at the South (a whole different ball game, a game that would isolate the North, China would never openly admit to any involvement).
