This below is SK shooting back into NK, ( I bet that liberal new president is rethinking sending THAAD back now

This below is a geopolitical analyst who was here in FL predicting doom to a sold out audience

THIS below is Congress respectfully asking Trump to come to them first for permission to attack NK

We have over 100 F-16s and F-35s and the naval groups within striking range and running exercises daily. That's big money.

Outside of Friedman analysis which I just threw in for giggles... This is alot for two days and there's probably more.. Does any of this look like the situation is getting better?

Is something imminent?

Your opinion please

 

NK successful missile tests.
In the end if they can demonstrate their ability to defend themselves, no attack will occur.

And this is how I expect the current stand off to continue.

 

Hah the flying objects sent into NK were propaganda balloons!

I think you and KJUs advisors have misread the situation, I think when Trump returns from his ME trip? We will attack soon after. Or Kim will have to punk out. It's almost like KJU thinks this a game.

Here's more stuff happening now. DIA Chief testifying before Congress and stating it is inevitable that NK will obtain an ICBM capable of striking the US if left unchecked.

Also Trump has sent 2 Nucleur Subs off the coast of NK as well.

Oh and another ballistic missile test over the weekend

It's escalating and Kim misread Trump. He's an idiot! If he had just stopped testing and made some show of building some relations with that new Dovish SK President? He I think might gotten off the hook.

 

Also troubling is Russia and China. I cant find them making any remarks. I think like that analyst stated.. They have washed their hands of NK

But hey Trump doesn't need Putin or Xi as a BFF he's got Duterte

 

China stop import of NK coal, hence why NK hasn't do any nuke test yet, if they do that, china will stop export of oil too

NK situation has always been sorta "heated", or the pressure is building on lil Kim from within his own ranks, wouldn't surprise me if some or a few of his "loyal" inner circle would like to see him "removed".

 

I'll let you into a little secret.
Just between you and me, so shhh. Are you ready?

China has stopped the importation of coal form everywhere. Not just NK.
They have a glut of the stuff. Domestic production to favour.

 

Child labor exploitation starts young in No. Korea...

Report: North Korea exploitation of workers begins in childhood
June 14, 2017 -- North Korea sends tens of thousands of forced laborers to work outside the country annually – and the system works because many North Koreans supply free labor to the regime as children.

Report: U.S. citizen was detained in North Korea for pro-West material
June 14, 2017 -- A U.S. citizen who is being held in North Korea on charges of "hostile acts" against the Kim Jong Un regime may actually have faced different charges at the time of his arrest, according to an eyewitness.

 

If north korea demonstrates the ability to attack the US with ICBM nuclear weapons it makes an attack more urgent

We should have put a stop to their nuclear program 20 years ago but deferred to the fears of our friends in south korea since it was only they who were at risk

But now the stakes are higher

 

And yet the US has yet to attack a country with the ability to nuke it.
It's never happened. The pressing urgency... just isn't so pressing after all.

The pressing urgency is to attack them before they can nuke back. Afterwards there is no pressing urgency to attack them at all, only a pressing urgency not to.

 

I agree that the clock is running out

If kim has nukes that can reach the US - nevermind s korea and japan - the he will demand as blackmale will be high

The myth that poor little mistreated n korea is just trying to defend itself from the mean ole American bully is delusional

 

I will only say that Trump should call the SK president and deliver an ultimatum. THAAD goes back or US troops pull out.

 

No mate, it isn't.
It's bang on the money.

In WW2, my country was in much the same position. We starved ourselves to build weapons. we were cut off from the world politically and for trade. and we were under constant threat of invasion. It's a pattern of behaviour I am familiar with.
What did we do in this position? Made a nuclear bomb and an ICBM as fast as we could.

 

I dont know which country you are coming from or whether you are equating the US or north korea to your pre-wwII country but I dont think you are a friend of my country

 

That would not be a good ifea since the absence of US troops would only destabilize the peninsula even more

 

I agree. I just don't want US troops on the front lines while the host country prevents the use of certain defensive systems.

 

If north korea strikes first US troops will suffer massive casualities.

There is no way to protect them from n k conventional artillery

 

Again, I agree. THAAD is a missile defense system, there's no such thing as an artillery defense system though. I'm only saying that the THAAD system works and should be in place in SK if US troops are going to be there.

 

S korea impeached the conservative president and replaced her with a leftwinger who was actually born in north korea

I'm still not sure whose side he is on or whether he wants unification on kim's terms or not

 

Which only adds to my point, time for the US to leave.

 

China would really like that.

You might as well abandond the entire Far East because we would lose all influence in the region

 

If that's what the host countries want, so be it.

 

Doubt if you are more weary of the US role of being the leader of the free world than i am.

But if we are not there the bad guys will take control and it will negatively affect us in a very short time.

 

No, they won't but thanks for the hysteria just the same.

That's what non-military people always say, but it doesn't change the fact they're wrong..

 

No you are wrong

US troopps are stationed within miles of the border and if the attack is without warning many Americans will die.

Our side may win the war but not without paying a heavy price for it
