Re: North Korea News
Yep.
It’s fine.
And as past examples flawlessly dictate, the left will be hand wringing and caterwauling about how if we’d only given them 50 more years to appease these nuclear Stalinists, sanctions would’ve magically worked.
Real leadership is making the hard decisions that need to be made. It’s choosing not to kick the can down the road another 4 years in order to make easier on yourself and harder on the next guy.
But then, I’m probably speaking a foreign language to half this forum when I start using crazy words like leadership, responsibility, and accountability.

Re: North Korea News
I’m not entirely against taking them down. But a “bloody nose”?? Go all in or quit.
This is how nuclear wars are started.

Re: North Korea News
What are you worried about? You have all that wheat stockpiled. I'm the one thats gonna starve once the nuke exchange happens. I'm not putting any pressure on you, but I might need to stay at your place and mooch off you if the shit really hits the fan. Its gonna take a lot of gas for me to get to your house, and I won't need you to pay me back right away, but once society rebuilds, you'll owe me. A smalll price for a strong friendship.GrumpyCatFace wrote:I’m not entirely against taking them down. But a “bloody nose”?? Go all in or quit.

Re: North Korea News
What will the PRC do - I don't think they'll back the DPRK - they know they'll loose everything they have in a NUKE war with US.....and they know they're not ready to take us on in a conventional conflict....how will they save face?The Conservative wrote:NK is acting like a child; it's time to give the baby a spanking.GrumpyCatFace wrote:I’m not entirely against taking them down.

Also - anyone see the thing where the PRC fishing boats rammed a South Korea Coast Guard vessel in South Korean waters? The PRC are simply fucking assholes....

China has had decades to save face. As of now they have egg, as well as vomit on it from NK.Zlaxer wrote:What will the PRC do - I don't think they'll back the DPRK - they know they'll loose everything they have in a NUKE war with US.....and they know they're not ready to take us on in a conventional conflict....how will they save face?The Conservative wrote:NK is acting like a child; it's time to give the baby a spanking.GrumpyCatFace wrote:I’m not entirely against taking them down.

Re: North Korea News
In other words, NK is acting like a child taking a temper tantrum. China has had decades of ability to get NK under control and refuses to do so because it was convenient to keep the US off of China's ass.Zlaxer wrote:The Conservative wrote:China has had decades to save face.

It's now their turn to take care of the baby, or the US will because we need to.

May all be true - but that doesn't negate that we need to figure out what the PRC will do before we start dropping bombs....

Things could get out of hand very quickly....
I'm hoping that we're telling the PRC that we'll shut them out of our markets if they do anything against our interests if we go after DPRK....we should be telling the PRC to fix the DPRK issue or we will shut them out.....
