I think SK and Japan have the most skin in the game. I'd like to hear more about how they want to handle this mess.

Vietnam and the 2nd Iraq war are proof enough.
Iraq, yes. Vietnam, no. However, American people were lied to in both cases.

Send Immigration to talk to these Thai associations. That'll cool their jets.

Correct. A metaphor not a fact.
Nobody helped me with the word 'nebulous', I can assure you. I taught myself a whole host of fancy words while you would have been otherwise engaged in peeling potatoes and digging latrines, but hey, each to their own.
If you have no longing for blood and death I would imagine that joining the Quakers would have been a better choice than joining the military...
My lottery number was 12, during Vietnam war draft. No potatoes. But, I did a lot of grunt work.

"Trump - That boy don't act right" -- on a poster, held by an older man

Hell is a two way street? That is a fact? Have you been there? Can you prove the existence of life beyond the grave?
What nebulous flapdoodle.
As for your macho stance far away from the prospect of any hostilities which may forfeit your own life, it isn't going to happen anyway. You will need to satiate your longing for blood and death elsewhere.
The metaphor was introduced by a previous poster. It's probably over your head. Who helped you with the word 'nebulous'?
I'm ex-military and have no longing for blood and death. You pulled that accusation out of your butt.

Yeah, darn those pesky Native Americans...
The narrow-minded arrogance of the rest of your post is disposable.
It's not arrogance. It's his point of view.
And WTH does Native Americans have to do with this?!
BTW: shouldn't you be looking for clippings that say Trump was driving the car?

You might want to check with shipping companies at your U.S. destination. If you cannot fill a container, they can offer shared containers.

The victims families might want a say in an appropriate punishment.

THey cannot knock out / neutralise a NK attack - get your facts straight.
the whole point is that NK is deeply entrenched in bunkers and can't be neutralised - any hostility would be tit for tat so millions would die.
What facts do you dispute? That the SK and U.S. have been preparing for an attack? Or that hell is a two-way street?
The rest of the 'facts' in your post come from you.

Good question. I'm looking for the same solution.

I'll have to quote you from another thread, same subject - "Prove it." I have no recollection of Oz support for any of your many central american "interventions'.
They'll do it out of devotion to Trump.

Only in the movies.

As my original post says, it doesn't take much for the US to decide on a bit of military tourism. But hey, you have god and democracy on your side, so the objections of the locals don't count for much.
And your country has promised to back them up.

I clarified my point in another reply. You have stated many times drug users should be shot.
A simple question plainly stated now clarified further, "do you believe a person that refuses to serve in their countries military during a time of war should also be shot?"
I believe that anyone who starts a war should have to fight in the front lines.

El Salvador, Nicaragua, Grenada, Honduras, Haiti, Panama, Columbia, Haiti again, all in the last 50 years. Central Americans are probably quite happy you've decided to throw your weight around elsewhere for a while.
If you believe history was that black and white, I was wrong. You're not smug. You're ignorant.

The majority were from out of town / out of state including the murderous white supremacist terrorists.
I saw a picture of a black cop trying to guard those clowns. He was just doing his job. You have to respect that.

And unfortunately , no one in Charlottesville belonged to that side.
Not true. And what about the cops who were only trying to do their job?

Trump can't come out and condemn the white supremacists because as many have said they make up a considerable proportion of his voter base, especially now so many people have seen the light over this moronic POTUS. But these American citizens were there before Trump and will be there long after he has gone. They are part of the cancer in the USA and there will always be a hard core of them. They are motivated by hate and ignorance with an unwillingness to lift their heads out of the sand. You cannot educate these people but you can pity them. They do know they do.....But simply cannot control their vitriol.
Every country has to deal with hate and ignorance in their own back yard. However, the world prefers to focus on America's dirty laundry.

Doesn't take much for the US to decide on a bit of military tourism in their own back yard. And look at the benefits, a bit of soft experience for the troops and a great way to test out the new toys. There's even an educational benefit, millions of americans get to learn of a new country.
Smug, content-free nonsense.
