Good job Mr Trump .....   at least he has the balls to speak his mind.  

He is a lunatic, but what do you care if tens of million North and South Korean's will die. Then we don't even talk about the nuclear fall out which will kill a couple more in the neighbouring countries

Rubbish....you have never heard of religion....where are the 'facts' in that?

Don't think he ever mentioned the use of nukes. 

[IAMHERE]

Great speech by POTUS; pretty much got the attention of many world leaders and convinced them he could/would destroy North Korea. The threat is no good if everybody knows you are chicken to push the button.

OK, NK started the war. Without US help SK would have been destroyed, without RU and China NK would have been destroyed. What is your point? NK suffered the same fate as Germany post WWI after the Korean War. Interesting that the results were more or less the same. Lesson should have been learned long ago.

 

Un, Hussein, and Gadaffi are/were all leaders of sovereign nations. None are/were a direct threat to the USA. Yet they couldn't resist the temptation to meddle and made things far worse. Those who ignore history... etc!

But NK started the war. Not the south. The fate they suffer was of their own making.

 

As for Gadaffi, tell that to the relatives of those killed by his terrorist acts. As for Hussein, well, hard to support him. And he did invade and devastate one of the US's closest allies. Kuwait.

How can Kim not feel threatened ?

He should feel threatened. Stop threatening others and perhaps the threats against him will go away. LOL

Yes, of course, those would be what are called erroneous opinions i.e.: the earth is flat.

But they've moved back into Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia. NATO is an organization that any country joins of their own free will. And many have done just that. Should tell you something.

'Invading now is a better term also. Hardly moving.  LOL'" 

And before you criticize me, I concede that it's a really pointless criticism. My apologies.

Un and his predecessors have been very clear in their desire to attain deterrence. Yes they have tested and irked, but the recent threats of annihilation have come from 45 not Un.

Give it up!  This is off topic.  And you're being disrespectful to people a lot better than you.

Japan invading China in 1939 is on topic to 45 and N. Korea today more than the equivocation of loss of innocent lives? How pray tell?

 

To whom am I being disrespectful? How do you judge who is better than whom when you have no personal knowledge of anyone you are referring to?

Well, Trump has been co-opted by the real govt. who makes the decisions in the US. The war mongers who profit from invasion and world wide murder. They will keep invading countries with natural resources until there's no one left except China and Russia. Then what? These psychopaths are so hell bent on war that they will bankrupt the US before they find peaceful solutions to anything. 

 

So, I did the next best thing and invested in defense stocks! Damn, if the killing must go on, why can't I profit too?

 

And I'm sure the US thinks they can take on Russia and China with no problem. Hell, the US Navy can't stop 700 foot long container ships filled with Walmart goods from hitting them by accident, just think if China sent a fleet of container ships against the US Navy,? They'd sink those billion dollar battleships all day.

 

Hell, 19 guys with four box cutters defeated the entire US military and law enforcement system on September 11, 2001 (if you believe that story, that is...LOL). Four box cutters! Now that is an army of well supplied solders! Oh, and their general was in a cave, on the other side of the world, directing it by SAT phone!

 

Okay, moving along....Iran and North Korea are NOT going to invade anyone. They know that if they can defend themselves, the US won't invade them. Bullies only attack weak enemies. Not ones with nuclear bombs. But now the US only has to get threatened and that's all it takes to get them to attack countries? Mere words will do it? 

 

Also, cue the anti-Venezuela propaganda because they are on the US radar since they are getting off the US petro-dollar. The US can't have that! Ask Saddam and Ghadaffi. 

 

So, the question is....who will the US invade next...North Korea or Venezuela?  

 

I'm holding onto those defense contractor stocks, so I say, Trump get to invading and killing people...make me some damn money! Now I know what Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the rest of the war mongers feel like after every country falls!

 

Big money, big money!

"If threatened, U.S. will 'totally destroy' North Korea, Trump vows".

 

I seem to recall just recently that the North Korean leader stated that if necessary North Korea will reduce the US to a pile of ashes, or something very similar.

 

I would suppose that many people laughed at the absurdity of this statement and suggested that he and his cronies/the people "get real", but you know I have seen this before and stupid as it may sound, these people actually believe they can do that!

 

I was working in Libya about a year after the Gadaffi revolution and relations with the US were not brilliant and there was some sort of diplomatic row going on between the two countries and the young Libyan engineer (University educated and from a good family) I was working with, stated that the US had better be careful otherwise the Libyan army would invade and wipe them out.

 

I tried to reason with this supposedly intelligent young man that Libya had neither the manpower, firepower, armaments or anything like that which would be necessary to even inflict minor damage on the US, but he was adamant that he and his fellows knew best and that they would utterly destroy the US if necessary.

 

I believe it is indoctrinated in these people from an early age and they come to believe it. Given that to be true, if it is, then North Korea may be more of a threat than we think, not because they can actually succeed in what they want to do, but at least they will give it a try believing they can – and that is dangerous.

NK has been developing and testing missiles since the mid 70s, duh. The only change in circumstance has been 45's bombastic rhetoric to put us at this moment of possible nuclear conflict. All other world leaders past and present seem to understand Un and his predecessors are/were a controllable nothing, only 45 wants to elevate nothing into a hellfire of something.
