Are we ramping up to war with North Korea?

North Korea claims to have test-launched its first ICBM

The launch appeared to be North Korea’s most successful missile test yet.

North Korea claimed to have successfully tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile in a launch Tuesday, marking what the rogue regime called the “final step” in creating a “powerful nuclear state that can strike anywhere on Earth.”

Has Trump tweeted yet to fight this action? NK just laughs at his line in the sand tweets

Kim Jong Guy seems to have really gotten into the 4th of July spirit. That's one hell of a firecracker

Start holding China responsible for what N Korea does. They are the only ones who have economic leverage over them.

 

Start putting sanctions on China , beside the one bank. It's worth a try instead of a military option.

China has been propping up North Korea for years. No way they want to see a nuclear armed pro-West Korean peninsula

Agree to a nuclear free and peace treaty Korean peninsula , N and S then the U.S. troops can go home.

Yeah I'm sure the South Korean's will agree to surrendering any nuclear capability acquired from re-unification

Do you mean the South keeping the North nuclear program if there is re-unification?

 

China would not allow that imo

China won't allow reunification, period. A reunified Korean peninsula will be socially, economically, and politically dominated by the South...which means close relations between a reunified Korea and the US. And the last thing China wants is a US-allied state directly on their border.

And how would they prevent a re-united Korean peninsula from keeping the nukes?

I won't. He'll try to argue, and I'll ignore him.

I won't argue ,I agree with you both.

 

I just want to see the North give up there nuclear and missile programs then sanctions can be lifted.

 

They are sitting on $6-$10 T worth of mineral resources. There only chance is a coup at this point though.

I'd bet a coup eventually results in China's border moving south.

I would prefer that then a major war

Me too, but I think there would be a decrnt possibility of getting both.

If that were to happen we'd HAVE to intervene. But no one will. The west is weak and rotten from within and China knows it.

[DC Tom]

The Koreans would get a say in that, too. And the Japanese and Russians might have opinions.

 

It's like you people think the history of the region begins in 1953.

Re-enact the draft for the Snowflake generation, their blood will be needed for this upcoming battle. It will give them something real to whine about.
