A buffer zone.

Look for an ICBM launch on or around October 10th/18thNo war has started yet at least. I think it depends on if NK starts launching more nukes.
This war will have the greatest ratings.
Worry about the millions in South Korea. Idiots like him and Lindsdy Graham underestimated or dont care about SK victims of said attack.

The allegation emerged as Mr Scarborough was interviewing Michael Hayden, who was Director of the CIA and the National Security Agency under President George W. Bush.
He asked Mr Hayden if any of his peers were advising Mr Trump on national security and foreign policy. Mr Hayden replied: "None."
Mr Scarborough then said: "I have to follow up on that...and I'll be very careful here.
"Several months ago a foreign policy expert, on an international level, went to advise Donald Trump, and three times he (Mr Trump) asked about the use of nuclear weapons.
"Three times he asked. At one point 'If we have them, why can't we use them?' He asked three times in an hour briefing 'Why can't we use nuclear weapons?'."
The former CIA Director said he was "very concerned" by how "erratic" Mr Trump seemed.
First, not getting into the war of words with them Trump is feeding to their propaganda by this back and forth.
Second, actual diplomacy conducted in good faith either through China or an intermediary
Third, apply pressure to China. They are the biggest enablers and supporters of NK.
Already happening. We know there direct lines of communication between the US and NK. Tillerson has confirmed as such. They just don't seem to be interested in negotiation, at least not until they believe they're in a position of strength.
So he cant Declare war without congress right?

This made a lot of sense for the China of the 1950s, not so much for the behemoth of the 21st century. I mean, first of all, the US wouldn't be able to put them on the border without a good excuse (technically North and South are still at war, that technicality wouldn't excuse such an aggression against China.), and even if they did, it's not like they would need fear an invasion. You don't invade your most important business partner, who also happens to have quite a sizable army, navy and air force. It would be a huge drawn out conflict that would devastate the world economy, most of all the US itself.A buffer zone.

It's a puppet state to prevent the US from having troops on the Chinese border. However, there has been some open criticism of this policy in Chinese newspapers (indicating the central government might be rethinking it) that this is counterproductive as a united Korea would be good for business in the long term and could lead to a withdraw of US troops if the united Korean government (which China would of course try to influence) demanded it since the standoff with the north would be gone.
I feel like all this talking by him publicly is only going to give NK more incentive to strike first.

Looking forward to all the smug pricks coming in here rolling their eyes with the "this is normal for the NK thing, you idiots" bullshit.
I don't know if there's a GAF stereotype I dislike more and I was a BernieBro last year.
The insane part about this whole thing, it's being flared by two people who have no business running anything and have the IQ of a dead fish.
didn't Kim Jong-un study in Europe though? he's probably not that dumb. Trump though...

More importantly, I don't think KJU has that much power over his country. He's a front figure, an heir to the throne set in motion by his grandfather. He's an ideal to sell to the people.
The real people in power are probably the top military brass.
KJU is more rational than many give him credit for. He and the NK leadership have seen what happens to America's enemies if they don't have the muscle to back up their threats. Gaddafi, Saddam, Assad (work in progress). NK has likely survived so many decades without any attack from the US precisely because of its unpredictable and mad-dog like behaviour.
More due to its location and treaty with China.
Don't get sucked in by this empty bluster.
How do you know it's empty? Is it the same way you knew that Trump would lose the election?

I cant believe its that hard to impeach Trump. Clinton got impeached for lying about sleeping with Lewinski, but this dude lied abound almost everything and has obvious mental issues yet hes still president.
