Trump is being smart.
Either you accept North Korea should be allowed to have nuclear ICBMs, or you accept a red line has to be drawn and credible threats must be made.
All else is just more of the same noise that got us here.
i know or think i know that trump is bluffing and acting very bully like with threats of unleashing his power as commander and chief a military with super weapons.
but why bluff with such boyish stupidity?
i think mr trumps barginings skills are at an all time low and so the threats of violence and retaliation for misbehaving according to the whims of a narcissist.. my confidence in him is at an all time low, talk about cave man club you over the head approach to problems this guy takes the cake.

@cofty: NK has build up artillery and chemical weapons on the South Korean border for 50 years. They will do the same with nukes regardless of what they are promised. At that point they know nobody will touch them and they are free to do as they like, such as invading South Korea, or blackmailing the rest of the world.
North Korea cannot be allowed to have nuclear missiles, period!.

@Island Man:
Two points. First, the job of the president of the United States is to protect the US and not South Korea.
Second point: If we do nothing, this problem is going to be a million times worse in 10 years when the North Koreans got nuclear subs, nuclear ICMBs, etc. etc. At that point they WILL be able to attack South Korea and get away with it because they got nukes.
Trump has done the right thing and told North Korea that if they attack us or South Korea, they get nuked. Simple choice. It is about time to lay down the law.
The US didn't cave to the Soviet Union when it threatened with nukes and I don't think we should cave to a shithole of a dictatorship just because they threaten to attack another country.
"There's virtually no way to take out all of NK's military might before they can retaliate."
This is like saying no to having an infected appendix removed because it will hurt.
You think we should just sit back like Obama and allow them to build a stockpile of Nuclear ICMBs?

@Fisherman: They don't have ICBMs with nukes that can hit US mainland. At any rate the missile sites should just be bombed before they can be launched/completed. A first strike now will save us from Nuclear war down the road.
Just give them an ultimatum: If they attack the US, they get nuked to the Stone Age. Then take out the missile sites.
Anyone think it is a good idea to allow NK to be able to nuke major US cities?

This is all the fault of liberals like Obama and Clinton who have been soft on Korea for decades. I for one am happy the US finally have a strong president who will stand up for America and I am appalled (but not surprised) liberals keep making excuses for why it is such a great idea North Korea can nuke the US.
theresa may the british p.m. has called for an election.. the house of commons has to vote tomorrow and have a two-thirds majority to agree and the main opposition parties want it to happen too so it looks pretty certain to go ahead..
@Slimboyfat: You don't get it. This isn't about what the countries want, but what the globalists calling the shots in the undemocratic EU want. These countries you mention currently benefit from the scam but at some point they too will be on the chopping block. The elite will be rich, as will the elite in Scotland, but the countries will effectively loose their independence (control of internal policies bc of debt and control of borders bc of EU immigration).
Why should any sane person wish to be part of this?
i thought this forum was for people who were ex jw`s and pro jw`s and the like to debate ,discuss and reasonably talk about our differences ,and sometimes drift off into politics world events and whatever.. however over a period of time i have come across cold steel `s many posts which are nothing more than promoting his mormon religions point of view./beliefs what has that got to do with jehovahs witnesses and the concerns many have with the jw religion.?.
it seems to me he is using this forum to promote his religion and is getting away with it over a long period of time.. how long before other cult religions see this as a springboard for promoting their own religion such as .
sda`s ,christian scientists , christadelphians ,beroean bible students ,etc.etc.. where will it end if he is able to keep doing this ?.
I agree. Ban the moron and his magic underwear. Sorry mormon.
it's been 8 years, but i am back.
my health has returned.
what did i miss?.
We all got smarter and prettier. WTBS still run by morons.

EU is just a way for a few states (France, Germany) to get rich on the back of smaller satellite states.
First they make sure the smaller states have no way to regulate their imports and then outcompete local production with mass-produced goods; then when they go bankrupt (like Greece) they destroy the economy with "austerity" and transfer control of the important assets to large finance centered in the big countries like Germany.
This is why the Euro is so important. It removes any control of finance from the smaller countries and ensure the undemocratic elements that control the EU can dictate their financial policy.
EU is a supranational mafia family controlled by international finance. Now they have set their eyes on Scotland... I hope England do what is right to protect the Scots.

And before you mention Scandinavia, these countries are not oil-based the same way Scotland would be. Scotland without England would be Tourism, oil and Whiskey. Fine if you want to visit not fine if you live there...
