    The North would be in their own vacuum if China would put the lid on them. That's the only peaceful solution I see. Moar toothless SANCTIONS!!!! won't help.

    That or @coupdawg to lead the way.

    Russia and China will do nothing militarily against the US if the US decides to preemptively strike the fat boy. Too much for them to lose in retaliatory strikes. The window of opportunity is ours to take him out.

    Getting millions of our ally's civilians killed to maybe take him out seems bad.
    Getting millions of our ally's civilians killed to maybe take out Adolph Hitler seemed bad too.
    Before or after he invaded Poland?
    Neville Chamberlain POTD.

    To not cross the red line and PUNISH the DPRK is to throw Seoul under the bus, which is exactly the same as throwing Japan and the wider southeast Asian nations, plus Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and in the long run, India under the bus. American credibility is being severely tested, which is precisely the goal of China and Russia. The DPRK is the low risk/high reward stooge in this massive geopolitical power play, but given their resources and dependence on the kindness of "strangers", they have no choice in this game of brinkmanship.

    What a FS observation here... So how do we PUNISH the Norks exactly so as not to throw Seoul under the bus? There is no preemptive military solution here with an acceptable level of civilian casualties that eliminates the N Korean w/ the bomb problem.

    We should just continue to let N-Kim refine and build a nuclear arsenal until it's fair. This way, nobody will ever get killed.

    People forget the last time we let an Asian, lunatic Dictator get the bomb and keep it, and we didn't do a god damned thing about it.

    Trump should grow a fucking pair and deal with that sawed off little cunt in N Korea since Obama was too big a pussy to do anything during his tenure.

    If Trump pusses out, too, I'll be surprised. If he lights that little fucker up, I'll have to take back some of the shit I've been talking about him.

    Millions of dead South Koreans home land Americans would help Trump IMO.
    Boobs stay the fuck away from me in a fight, Jesus. You remind me of the punk who talks a lot of shit in a bar and wonders why someone just punched you in the face 3 times before you even put your hands up

    It's called Collateral damage. And I highly doubt if US strikes with full force , non nuclear, he would have the chance to do anything other than wipe the shit from his ass. MOAB is nothing compared to what we have for him.

    So you're telling me the US can take out NK's entire artillery without them getting shots off into Seoul?
