I happen to think this is all bullshyt posturing that will never go anywhere. But, at a time when domestic support for this country, and especially this administration, are at record lows - what would it take for you to get behind offensive measures against North Korea?


I'm torn on this one. Just seems like a disaster waiting to happen with no good answer. Also, I'm far from an expert on the underlying diplomatic issues. I know there's obvious Russian and Chinese interests at play, but I'm sure a lot of you guys could fill me in.

they can go at NK at any time, but the issue is Seoul, its like 30 miles and has a pop of 15M which the US has vowed to protect.

you don't wanna pop shyt at all with a crazed young despot who just popped his brother.

US have to put pressure on china to get Kim to fall back. problem is Trump wants a war, its always great for popularity, look what happened to Bush

Won't happen

China can collapse the regime tomorrow and deploy the PLA there
Lol seriously, the danger of military action against north korea has nothing to do with north korea.

The Korean War, like the Vietnam War, is an unforgivably untouched era of history in high school
