idk about nuclear, but I think we are heading toward some kind of military conflict.

Rather unlikely will be a nuclear war. But some sort of conflict seems possible.

The US wouldn't be the first to strike, that's for damn sure. If they did, they'd likely gain permission from the UN.

I fully support military action against North Korea, more so than I ever did the Middle East. Unlike the Middle East, I believe that North Korea looks like a fixable problem. We could take North Korea, manage it for a few years like we did Japan and then turn it over to South Korea. Who's going to be against us shutting down North Korea? Hell, China even called it our problem.

China don't want the United States or South Korea right next to their door. It's in their best interests that North Korea stays.

For now, sure.

They will almost certainly drop NK as soon as they do something stupid enough.

We are dealing with two man children with too much power. Hopefully macho posturing is enough.

It's tough no matter which way you look at it. But you know that if North Korea hit us, North Korea would be gone by week's end. If they did that, there's no turning back. And they keep saying that they mean to,

Imagine voting yes tho

I'm just saying if North Korea hit anywhere in the US, we'd be back to Pearl Harbor and 9/11, maybe worse this time.

I hope Trump doesn't do a nuclear first strike. Then we'd have China to worry about.
