Totally destroying NK doesn't necessarily mean with nukes. I'm sure the generals in charge update the president with the most current and up to date warfare techniques. We could go in with a cyber assault or EMP like in first link. Side note: video in second link shows testing of ICBM intercept test. The US has got this covered without nukes.

Is invading North Korea even a wise idea? I mean, do they know the terrain or what kind of arsenal that country really possesses?
Also, I don't think anyone would gain much from invading NK and putting an end to that dictatorship. I don't think South Koreans, the Chinese and the Japanese are interested in taking in millions of refugees. |

Knowing the terrain is not a problem. There was a war there previously and we have sattelites.
The main problem with an invasion is China. Which was exactly the problem in the Korean war. We can't fight China. It would be horrible.

No.
Because, after Kim Fatty Fat goes down the drain, you need to deal with several millions of hungry brainwashed people and outdated infrastructure. Not to mention most likely destruction of Seul. This the sole reason why NK is still existing - no-one wants to sort this mess. |

Most likely South Korea would take over the North if their government and leaders were able taken care of. Then Korea would be unified as one country again.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/...ies-worldwide/ China economy has already been trending down while the U.S. is Trending up, also I believe we are China #1 importer. So if we closed off trade with them I think China's economy would collapse. Also the U.S. dollar is the Global Currency still. I think we could crush China Economically with sanctions. I think our economy would suffer some, but not like China. Hopefully North Korea can be dealt with a peaceful resolution.

So it seems like Trump has... brought Kim to the table? Like, literally? In the weeks to come, anyway.
Maybe all that "fire and fury" talk was just what was needed. https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/08/polit...est/index.html

This.....makes me a little wary. I wouldn’t be surprised if one side or the other or both think they can take the other side out during this meeting.
I’m very interested in where this meeting will happen. China? I’m sure they are super happy with Trump right now with those Tariffs. Russia? Optics aren’t good on that for Trump and would boost Russia and Putin unnecessarily. Europe? Probably no good for Kim to be surrounded by US allies. I bet it will be in South Korea.

Doing something like this will be irresponsible and stupid for either side. Yes, even for the likes of Trump and Kim Fatty Fat. |

A Russian Spy and a few others just got attacked with nerve gas. Also Kim Jung has been executing members of his own family and senior staff so I don't doubt anything at this point.

Kim's elimination will lead to the war with South Korea. Trump's elimination, if done by NK, will lead to war with South Korea and immediate annihilation of NK. |

A lot has happened with China and especially South Korea for the offer to come again and it's a bad thing to ignore that work but more than that it's dangerous to credit Trump's tough line approach instead because Trump is dumb enough to believe it - even if his advisers are telling him the real reasons behind it. If Trump goes into a meeting with Kim Jong Un believing that he can strong arm his way to peace and that he's got one over him as opposed to actually giving him something he really wants then it could be very bad. On the other hand if the meeting does go ahead and goes well and they get some concessions out of North Korea then we probably should credit Trump and his people. I understand the reticence from some quarters to credit Trump with anything, ironically the danger is the same with NK conundrum as it can seem to validate a clearly wrong-headed government but I'd like to think we're all mature enough to be able to acknowledge Trump did one good thing while pretty much everything else was a **** show and a failure. Of course this may all be a moot point as the meeting may not actually happen and even if it does the likelihood of getting anything meaningful out of Kim Jong Un is practically zero but whatever happens the narrative should not be that "fire and fury" worked.

Well, now that John Bolton is the National Security Advisor...and with timing that couldn't be any worse...it seems a little more real.
I can't help but feel we're more doomed than ever before.
