Donald Trump will attack weapons site in North Korea 'within the next year'

http://dailym.ai/2u9sGtt

Not sure how wise it is to announce the fact beforehand.

 

There's a 50 percent chance that it will rain somewhere in the US today.

 

I am with the OP on this one.. after we seen the sky show over NK .. Trump is ready to attack..

 

Nobody announced anything. Assuming the source even exists, it isn’t clear what they actually told the Daily Mail (or whoever they copied the story from) and it’s wrapped in the usual tabloid mesh like “is poised to” which, when you think about it, doesn’t really mean anything. They also put the “within the next year” in quotes but never actually identify anyone as having actually said it (not even their “source”) so it isn’t at all clear whether they’ve anything to back that up or simply made it up because the story wasn’t eye-catching enough otherwise.

As a general rule, if it’s in the Daily Mail (or pretty much any UK tabloid for that matter), it probably isn’t entirely accurate or true.

 

Err...

Not sure what world you can live in where that represents "not announcing anything". Just because the President doesn't make a TV announcement doesn't mean it's not a pretty categorical announcement.

Rich. After the election, the NYT made a promise to "tell the truth in the future". Not sure the American Master Race rhetoric is best supported with discussions of media dishonesty.

 

Anonymous sources don’t make announcements (they make leaks). They also don’t make them to a single foreign tabloid newspaper. A formal policy announcement will involve a named individual with authority to make the announcement either making a public statement and/or releasing a public press release.

That wasn’t my angle. I’m British and was sharing my knowledge and experience of our print media. I know there is plenty wrong with American media too, that just wasn’t relevant in this case.

 

Ah, that famous bastion of truth The Daily Mail.

 

Well we have upped the Rhetoric. Now calling Russia and China Enablers for N Korea. Trump told China you need to do more. Both have been told if they can't handle it. Trump says he will.

 

Its looking that way. That's for certain.


Nikki Haley on North Korea: 'The Time for Talk is Over'.....

In the wake of North Korea's latest ICBM launch, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said Sunday the US is not seeking a Security Council emergency session to discuss the matter.

Seeing that the North Korean regime repeatedly violates existing Security Council resolutions, there is no point in having another session and producing another resolution, according to a statement Haley released Sunday.

It states, in part:

Vice President Mike Pence echoed her sentiments, calling on China to act and saying "the era of strategic patience is over."....snip~

Waiting for the left to explain that we should not do anything until NYC, DC and Chicago are hit with nuclear missiles because otherwise it will be our fault if N.K. engages in a genocidal attack against S.K. and Japan.
However, if N.K. first does kill 10 or 20 million Americans and our economy destroyed, then they are ok with a very limited conventional strike against N.K. - so then N.K. can go ahead and kill millions of S.K.s and Japanese - but then it won't be entirely our fault, though mostly our fault for having a base in S.K. and Japan.

There is that insane notion that if we attack N.K. - and N.K. responds by attacking civilians on other countries that is our fault.

Hitler should have tried that tactic in WW2. To tell the British and Americans "if you attack I will kill millions of civilians in Spain and it will your fault," for which the Allies dare not attack because Hitler would accurate that the millions of Spanish he killed would be our fault. That is the logic of the many on the left - while at the same time declaring we are "at war" with Russia for alleged doing what we do to virtually every other country in the world.

 

Oh, and thank you Bill Clinton, who assured that if we gave North Korea the ability and money to make nuclear weapons then North Korea wouldn't build them, the same logic Obama told us towards Iran.

 

Russia who monitors the missiles said that Kim lied, and the missile they launched has a 750 range. But look if Washington feels it's good for the military industrial complex which they are all heavily invested in, then they will attack and to heck with the millions who will die in S. Korea, Japan etc. I guess they feel the world is too over populated as it is.

 

China is not going to do anything. This isn't China's problem and that is just a punt. This is the USAs problem and may be President Trump's greatest challenge.

 

This could be a deliberate leak designed to ratchet up pressure on China to get off their ass and do something. It's not really new news anyway.

 

Pro's and Con's to both actions.

If we preemptively strike, we will lose even more clout in the wold and likely a few of our allies as well. But we would "take care" of the problem and give Korea a shot at coming back together. Obviously a lot of people would most likely die, another negative.

I personally don't think he would attack the US or any of our allies, I simply don't see it

 

Yeah, if you can't trust a proven mass murderer and torturer sociopath who continuously threatens to kill you and everyone one you know, who can you trust?

He has already accused the USA for trying to kill him whenever he gets sick and vowing an attack with nuclear, chemical and biological weapons against the USA, South Korea and Japan if he is killed.

I have no doubt if (when) he some day learns he is terminally ill he will blame the USA and will kill as many tens of millions of Americans, South Koreans and Japanese as he possibly can, anyway he can. He would have nothing to lose and sociopathic murderers WANT to kill people and cause people to suffer because they enjoy it. Unless he dies in his sleep, some day he will launch nuclear tipped missiles at the USA because he has learned he has a terminal medical condition like most people do eventually - and use the excuse of blaming the USA to destroy DC, NYC, Boston, Chicago, Miami, LA and Houston - destroying the US economy in addition to killing tens of millions.

Will anyone even remember that it was Bill Clinton who approved of N.K. having the reactors to build nuclear weapons and gave N.K. the money to do it - explaining by doing this N.K. then won't build nuclear weapons once he makes it possible to do? We are in this situation because of the Clintons, it is that simple. But, then we know the Clintons want other countries to have the materials for nuclear weapons, don't we? I wonder how much $$$ the Clintons made on that deal? They made $138,500,000 on the deal with Russia.

 

Has nothing to do with trust, has to do simply with political actions.

I think everything out of NK has been to look strong and have weapons that enable a "MAD" strategy. If they get nukes that can hit the US the likelihood that we ever attack them goes almost to zero.

The amount of people over the world you would piss of would in my opinion be just as big a thread (if not bigger) as NK's missiles.

Our missiles defense systems are up and running and supposedly amazing, if they shoot anything at us we 'glass' their capital. We have to start getting used to almost every other country in the world getting nukes, there is too much opposition throughout our country and the world to try to aggressively keep countries from getting nukes.

Now, that most likely will change in the next few decades for pretty horrible reasons.... Sadly I don't think even that gives us the ability to take out Lil Kim before hand

 

China is not going to do anything and it is just bizarre and a punt on responsibility to claim they should or will. This isn't China's problem.

 

Better if millions of Americans die, right, because if Kim decided to respond by killing millions of Japanese and S. Koreans you have some twisted logic that 1.) that would be our fault and 2.) we certainly can trust a person who would kill millions of civilians of 3rd party countries not attacking N.K. solely for the joy of killing millions of people - but that same person would not kill millions of Americans for the joy of killing Americans.

That is such contradictory, bizarre, and stupid logic it is impossible to imagine anyone actually thinking that. If he would kill millions of S.K.s and Japanese just to do it, he would kill millions of Americans just to do it. That is easy enough to understand. YOUR claim that he is such a sociopath he would kill millions of civilians in countries not involved in any attack proves how great a danger he is to the USA.

 

I do NOT want the 2 Koreas to reunite. They are now entirely different and adversarial cultures of entirely different values.

 

Every time Kim launches a ballistic missile we are seeing Democrat foreign policy at work.

 

Mr Obama is jumping up and down with glee for sure.

 

Yeah I agree.....and we have already told China, Russia, and everybody else. That if they cant handle N Korea. We will.


We can't just keep saying it.

 

If Trump attacks, Seoul will be annihilated before anyone can do anything about it. If he does not attack, nothing really happens does it? If NK launches a missile aimed at Japan or the USA, they started it and we will finish it. Japan has the ability to intercept a missile even though they are very close by. We certainly can do the same given the time the missile was in flight. Sorry but NK has us over a barrel.

 

North Korean propaganda is strong with this one.
