This is more exciting than the next season of Game of Thrones

The Chinese getting frustrated with the North Korean Regime will result in the Kim Jong Un to become even more unpredictable and volatile.
This is a no win scenario, and I find it hard to see a scenario where there is not an armed conflict with an unstable, isolated dictatorship.

In the end, the question is... on whose side is China on? I doubt ours.

[jymdaddy]

we've been through this before. nothing will happen it's all talk and posturing

[mattlevisen]

I like watching CNN when ever I feel like a good old douse of propaganda

[stupidelephant]

Destroy the entire US mainland? That's pretty bold, even for North Korea.

Tillerson looking for a political solution to a disaster created by Trump.

Is this all part of MAGA??? This is like a bad fucking dream!!!

And tomorrow Trump goes golfing?! And this is all normal???

What people also need to realize is that for all practical purposes Nukes are largely off limits to use for anyone. The first country to even try to use a nuke no matter how crude it is whether it's Russia, North Korea, or even the U.S., that country will face retaliation from most of the ENTIRE WORLD. Not that North Korea is much of a "Nuclear Threat" to the U.S. at this point anyway, but if they even tried he would be brought to ash because everyone in the world won't want nuclear war and will stop at nothing to punish the first country to use one.

Thank you US Marines for the love and hugs, peace and love, Doug.

I just want to know.... what did the people who voted for Trump thought would happen?

[gamersite]

that's a Bold Statement by Kim Jong Un. And the U.S isn't the kind to back off after N. Korea issued such statements. this is gonna get ugly..

[mythreepants]

Frankly, the "Probable volleyball game" annotation is hilarious

[MerkMD]

Let hope US still remember the embarrassment of 1950 Korea War.
That time US got a*s kicked very hard by China and lost all North Korea territory and Seoul within just 40 days.

[tony.]

I don't see the big deal. North Korea has been doing this all along. This isn't Trump 's fault.

[SpressoHead]

What's all the fuss? North Korea is no more a threat to the US than Zimbabwe. Cripes, their leader is riding in a Lincoln Continental that was purchased at the JFK estate sale 50 friggin years ago. Half the missiles they parade around are full of air. Sheesh!

[DanielFreeMan]

Dude all this hype and the N Koreans are just playing volleyball ; )

I can imagine been sent to a north Korean coal mine is the same as a soviet gulag death sentence.
