Maybe Beijing should be concerned more than the US, once the tiny dick dictator thinks he has the upper hand he will be eying everyone within his reach. Beijing needs to spread some real communisn to North Korea.

They would spread communism to Best Korea but they...um...can't afford to.

China Tells North Korean Coal Ships To Go Home

This is interesting.  If they don't cave, China just cut off North Korea's biggest source of income. 

And oddly, the US is ramping up it's mining of coal, of which China is buying.

Cut N. Korea off and sell our coal to them sounds like a good idea to me

I just want to remind everyone what is at stake here as we deal with North Korea. They have 100,000 large caliber artillery pieces aimed at South Korea. They are capable of getting off 5 shots per minute. So within 5 minutes of striking North Korea, South Korea is pretty much devastated. That's why we deal with North Korea the way we do

The horrific irony is that both South and North Korea could be destroyed in a war.

These are apocalyptic times.

Seoul is only 35 miles from the DMZ. If I was a South Korean I wouldn't be living there. I'd be sipping soju on Jeju Island and watching the mushroom clouds from a safe distance.

REPORT: China has 'sent 150,000 troops' to its North Korea border and is 'ready to take action'

What are the odds a military coup removes Kim Jong and the country starts clawing its way out?

Has there ever been a situation like North Korea in recent history? A huge chunk of the population is completely brainwashed.

the odds are a million to Un.

 

 

thank you, i'll be here all week. try the veal.

Trump (turd!!) and Kim jong need to meet at a neutral location to talk this thing out and reach some kind of agreement that works for everybody involved. There is a needless tension here that can be easily rectified with negotiation. 

I suggest that Trump fly there on Air Force One and Kim can fly on United.

Have you looked around California recently?

Here's who would win in a war between North and South Korea

A pretty fascinating read about the realities of what would happen if a North Korea war broke out.

[fan_since79]

There are reports that the little dictator is ordering mass evacuations of Pyongyang and officials there are saying nuclear war could break out at any time. Some 600,000 people are leaving the city, according to Russian reports.

Things are getting dicey..

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/u-s-may-launch-strike-if-north-korea-reaches-nuclear-n746366

The U.S. is prepared to launch a preemptive strike with conventional weapons against North Korea should officials become convinced that North Korea is about to follow through with a nuclear weapons test, multiple senior U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News.

North Korea has warned that a "big event" is near, and U.S. officials say signs point to a nuclear test that could come as early as this weekend.

no one knows what war with them would be like because it's been 60+ years since they fought anyone. there's concern about their missile capability, but is it a legit concern that they could reach and bomb targets inside the US? they have some 2 million soldiers but they're largely inexperienced due to lack of engagement in real world situations. plus they have the crazy dictator thing going on.

a lot of unknowns with them.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Yeah, this is looking more and more like a real, dangerous situation as opposed to pointless tough talk.

[Tank]

at this point, short of NK actually doing something to us or to SK, i don't see any value in a "pre-emptive" strike. nothing good will come from this, unless you happen to own stock in a company that produces war materials.

Sometimes you just gotta let silly chinamen be silly

[Angel Dog and Beer]

I'm leaving to Hawaii tomorrow, can NK send a nuke that far?  

[Adam]

I've got an amazing view if they strike the pacific coast.

Anyone have SPF 5 billion sunblock I can borrow?
