Most nonproliferation experts — as well as former President Jimmy Carter
and a number of former Pentagon and State Department officials, both
Republican and Democrat — agree that the brutal and murderous Kim, for
all his bluster, is not irrational or suicidal, but bent on preserving
his regime and preventing a U.S. attack. Nuclear weapons are a
defensive, not an offensive, tool for the North Korean leadership —
which, as Bill Clinton’s defense secretary William Perry observed on Fox
News in April, may be “ruthless and … reckless” but “they are not crazy.”

Got that? Kim is bad, not mad.

The same cannot be said of The Donald. Think I’m being unfair? In
February, a group of psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers
wrote to the New York Times “that the grave emotional instability
indicated by Mr. Trump’s speech and actions makes him incapable of
serving safely as president.” In April, another group of mental health
experts told a conference at Yale University’s School of Medicine that
Trump was “paranoid” and “delusional” and referred to the president’s
“dangerous mental illness.”

Is it any wonder then that so many recent reports suggest that South
Koreans are more worried about Trump than they are about the threat
posed by their hostile and paranoid neighbor?

Trump has form, though, when it comes to loose talk about nukes. During
the presidential campaign, in August 2016, MSNBC host and ex-Republican
congressman Joe Scarborough revealed that Trump, over the course of an
hour-long briefing with a senior foreign policy adviser, had asked three
times about the use of nuclear weapons. At one point during the meeting,
according to Scarborough, the then-GOP presidential candidate asked his
adviser, “If we had them, why can’t we use them?”

To be so blasé, enthusiastic even, about the deployment of the ultimate
weapon of mass destruction is a stark indicator of Trump’s childishness,
ignorance, belligerence, and, yes, derangement.

Listen to McCain’s fellow Republican super-hawk Senator Lindsay Graham.
“If there’s going to be a war to stop [Kim], it will be over there,”
Graham told NBC’s Matt Lauer last week, recounting a recent conversation
he had with the president. “If thousands die, they’re going to die over
there. They’re not going to die over here — and he’s told me that to my
face.”

“This is madness,” Kingston Reif, a nuclear disarmament specialist the
Arms Control Association, tweeted in response to Graham’s re-telling of
Trump’s remarks. “Unhinged madness.”

Your hate for the orange clown is carrying you too far. Kim is a madman. He gives a shit for his citizen, absolutely shit. Which is a difference to the Soviets back in the day or to Putin or the Chinese.
Today Kim most certainly is not able to reach the USA with nukes. In a few years he will.

Yes, in case of war South Korea will suffer terribly. And probably Japan. But every American president has to look for his countrymen first. And therefore never can't accept a madman's nuclear ICBMs threatening the mainland.

There is a huge probability that Trump and his generals will do what probably is the only option - attack North Korea with their whole arsenal.

Nothing to fear...

North Korea foreign minister said that the nukes are only for USA, other
countries are safe. Phew.

So at worst we have Guam, South Korea and California nuked, while North
Korea becomes molten glass. Not that bad really.

California could be safe for now though, since it's unclear whether NK
has miniaturized nuclear weapons yet to fit the rockets. The bureau
which claimed they have, said the same few years ago already and was
wrong according to all other sources.

Sounds to me that they don't have capability to hit mainland USA yet...
why else threaten Guam...

Hard to see any US first strike as serious tactic either. NK has moving
platforms with nukes and 25 million people, not to mention the fall out
to neighbouring countries. But if US is to do something about this they
better act fast, although it seems it's already too late.

Chilling post.

And what if, say, Kim gets diagnosed with cancer in 2020 and then suddenly feels insulted by a Hollywood movie?
You think he wouldn't decide to go down in a "blaze of glory" by attacking "the imperialists"? Sure? 100 % sure? Or maybe only 90 % sure? 80?

Remember Neville Chamberlain back in 1938?

In fact it could be a good thing!

-At least we'd get rid of terrible South Korean drama films.
-The life in North Korea is so miserable that USA would be doing them a
service by killing them
-Nobody cares about Guam
-Get rid of California and Republicans would rule USA, good for Trump.

I'm a bit worried about North Korean tigers though, although there's
probably no more than 10-20 left, if any. Even the poor animals have
nothing left to eat there (this is true).

Preemptive wars. Global domination.
Take a guess why max likes it and advocates it.


I feel Trump personally doesn't give a shit about Kim, but, like
any president, he's under public pressure from Grachus types who
are genuinely scared of north Korea, due to media brainwashing.
Remember him posting here being terrified with north Korean
missiles.

It's getting boring actually. Trump should either really nuke them
and be done with it, or make a lasting peace, which is I'm sure
he wants.

But we all know they try to obstruct him in every way. It would be
same to Russia story.

So peace is unlikely and war even more, America has suffered so
much bad PR wirh these invasions in recent decades.

I say UN should give a mandate to Pakistan and India to take care
of north Korea. Who ever defeats north Koreans sooner, gets whole
Kashmir. That should motivate both.

Probably. Although when I wrote 'it's probably too late already' - I
almost added 'and has always been'.

North Korea can of course do some terrible devastation to South Korea
(US ally) with traditional and chemical weapons as well.

The leader of NK doesn't give a damn about his own people, so why would
he care about SKoreans...

In any case, bombing their nukes with conventional bombs would likely
not work as they have moving nuclear weapons, or at least claim the do.
And if you managed to destroy them - then what? War with a country of
25m utterly brainwashed people who hate you their guts?

would rather not be involved in war with anybody, period. most
definitely would rather not be the unprovoked instigator of a war we
find ourselves in, or anyone else is either.

but defense is another story. i'm not convinced yet that NK is in any
type of truly offense posture toward the USA. talk is cheap. that fat

This is true. NK is and has always been a master of really aggressive

That was true of the USSR. Kim is different. He does seem unhinged. Kim
having nukes is like ISIS having nukes - fanatics who are reasonably
likely to value inflicting damage on the enemy regardless of the
consequences to themselves.

I really don't know if a pre-emptive strike on NK is warranted, it's a
brutally tough call. But if we do it, I won't second guess it. Kim does
seem like a mad man.

You damn moron. I predicted this situation months ago... and here we
are, Trump threatening North Korea with fire and fury. His cabinet
giving mixed messages to NK.

Yes, Kim and North Korea is always a liability... but OF COURSE the
American media is more interested in US president, and frankly he can
not be trusted either on matters like these. This is a man who asked
several times "If we have nuclear weapons why can't we use them".

Trump is apparently seriously deliberating a nuclear first strike. You
see already Bob & Jaros sort of siding with Trump on the matter.

What do you expect US media to say... that Kim is crazy and first strike
is the only possibility? How do you expect even more crazy North Korea
to respond if they think that USA might do a first strike?!?
...The point is that Trump's attempts to escalate SHOULD be criticized
by the media. This is not a man who can handle diplomacy and thus is a
pretty big risk. Even 1% chance of pre-emptive strike from one side or
another is not acceptable. USA should be the adult in the room, while
North Korea is truly twisted country.

If first strike would happen that would be devastating not only for the
target but for the entire balance of fear with nuclear weapons...
imagine all the nuclear states fearing the real possibility of first
strike. What would that lead to...

Kim is unlikely to commit mass suicide doing first strike. How about Trump?

First of all, behave yourself. Don't insult. Now, you think
threatening with fire and fury is worse than saying north Korea
is an evil county? You know what happened to other couple of
"evil" countries?
They got utterly destroyed by the neocon war machine. What did
Trump verbally do that Bush or Obama didn't?
So cut the crap.

I trust Trump 100%, have utmost confidence in his moral judgement.
Now what, prove your opinion is more worth?

Because they're Americans. Not only they were always victorious in
wars, they didn't even suffer in wars. E.g. Russians were
victorious too but suffered greatly. Americans miss that
experience. That makes them maybe overly confident and trigger
happy.
It's normal.

That's where the media comes. They should really be more
patriotic, more unbiased, and more helpful to Trump.

As it is, you have three sides, like in that gunfight in good, bad
and the ugly.
Kim, Trump and Trump's enemies.

Trump is a good guy, Kim is ugly and fake news are bad.

The thing is, it's not only about Kim. China doesn't control him
100% but he's a Chinese tool in global showdown vs America. You
must not forget that too.
Americans are in the south Korea, so China friendly regime in the
north provides a balance.

You can't solve north Korean nuclear problem without having this
in mind. Basically it's Chinese pushing and expanding, projecting
power globally more and more so Kim gets bolder and bolder.


We have to congratulate them too on their restraint and wisdom.
These situations with emerging powers have always historically
led to wars.

Irrelevant. Your whole analysis of this complex and old
geopolitical issue is a form of Trump bashing. It's pathetic
really.


These are the options.

1. USA accepts north Korea becoming nuclear power. Sounds shocking
but why not? We've seen other major nuclear powers not shitting
their pants so should millions in and around Korea really die
because Grachus is scared of Kim's powerful penetrating
missile?

2. USA doesn't accept north Korea becoming nuclear power and
invades north Korea, or bombs it. Pretty shitty scenario, many
dying, for which Grachus will be guilty.

3. Most ideal scenario, but very unlikely due to neocon scum. USA
leaves north Korea alone, promises to respect their sovereignty,
removes sanctions and they abandon development of their wmd,
rockets etc.

But the thing is, why would they do it, when the whole world has
seen you can't trust the bloodthirsty neocons. Saddam removed all
wmd and they killed him and destroyed Iraq. Gadaffi removed wmd
as well and Libya was attacked, destroyed and he was sodomized
with the sword in his anus and Hillary laughed at it.


You can't blame Kim for not buying it. Having nukes with an
ability to at least harm USA, is what keeps him safe in a lawless
world that neocons created.

That's because you are a Trump hater, and therefore it's always
predictable, even to yourself, what you are going to say about Trump.

Those comparing Trump unfavorably to Kim are exposing themselves as

I seem to recall (I was in High School at the time) that there was a
time when Russia was building missile bases in Cuba that the USA
President at the time (a certain JF Kennedy) that the president
threatened nuclear war with Russia if they did not remove the missiles.
The world held its collective breath and eventually Russia backed down.
John F Kennedy was (and still is - at least by the Democrats) hailed a
national hero.
Now we have a Republican (and I use the tern advisedly) president doing
almost the same to North Korea (which has actually threatened to attack
US territory) and he gets howled down.

Well he was a strong/capable man, and in the end, everything
turned out well, so praise is warranted, but you might check some
facts about who started, and who backed down.

Wikipedia.
The Cuban Missile Crisis, also known as the October Crisis
(Spanish: Crisis de Octubre ), the Caribbean Crisis (Russian:
????????? ??????, Karibskij krizis ), or the Missile Scare, was a
13-day (October 16?28, 1962) confrontation between the United
States and the Soviet Union concerning American ballistic missile
deployment in Italy and Turkey with consequent Soviet ballistic
missile deployment in Cuba. The confrontation is often considered
the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale
nuclear war. [1]

In response to the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961 and the
presence of American Jupiter ballistic missiles in Italy and
Turkey, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev decided to agree to
Cuba's request to place nuclear missiles on the island to deter a
future invasion.



How did it all end? Americans removed missiles from Turkey,
Soviets from Cuba. And Cuba got a "promise" it won't be invaded
by the USA.

So eveyone backed down a bit.


The whole crisis started because Americans thought it's ok that
they aim Moscow from Turkey, but otoh it's unacceptable that
Soviets should aim Washington from Cuba. That was a bit weird way
of thinking.

Trump is not powerful as Kennedy (meaning US establishment is full
neocon these days and oposed to him) so he can't solve Korean
crisis the way Kennedy could have, and had solved Cuban crisis.


Trump can't promise to the Koreans they won't be invaded in the
future in an exchange of giving up their nuclear program. He
can't do that because he's surrounded by traitors who oppose and
block him.

Also China stands behind north Korea, much much firmer, than the
Russians ever stood behind Cuba. Russians wanted US missiles
removed from Turkey so used Cuba as a bargaining chip.



This Chinese tactics of dealing with the west in a form of good
cop (china) and a mad cop (north korea) is pretty much effective
and cunning.

So from an American point of view, what would be most effective is
not a nuclear war on north Korea but a trade war with China.


Trump knows all this that's why he wanted to put aside Russia
hostilities as USA gains nothing from it nor are Russians any
threat to USA, also he wants manufacturing back to USA from
China, electronics especially which is very important.



Basically Trump is using a Nixon playbook. Nixon went to China
(then emerging 3rd power) to harm soviet union, a direct rival.

Trump wants to do the same, now China is a direct rival, he thinks
it's smart to have Russians much closer.

Don't you read news?
China said it will react only if America attacked first. But if
north Korea attacked, and USA retaliated they would not do
anything. Translated...north Korea won't attack you, but don't
touch them.

So what world war do you see in USA obliterating north Korea,
should they make first aggressive move?

North Korea will become nuclear superpower most likely and
everyone would need to accept it.

It also means better chance for peace there.

Just think how many lives have been spared thanks to the fact
Pakistan and India having nukes. Without it there would probably
have been some bloody wars there.

would or could be nuclear war.

How long would it take a missile fired from within the Soviet Union
to reach Washington?

How long for a similar missile fired from Cuba to do the same?

Both Italy and Turkey wanted Jupiters in their countries for their
own defence - both countries would, eventually, have been able to
launch the missiles themselves, although the US intended to keep
control of the warheads.

To answer my own questions:

~25 mins.

<5 mins.

Oh, and Khruschev was trying to support and defend Castro against the
US following the Bay of Pigs 'invasion'. The Jupiters installed in
Italy & Turkey were borderline obsolete.

But Castro "wanted" soviet missiles in Cuba as well. Also, US did
try to invade him, something soviet union didn't do at the time
in Turkey's case.

So what's next, major superpowers "fulfilling" all sorts of wishes

The US DID NOT try to invade Cuba, the 'invasion' was by a group of
~1,334 Cuban exiles - who were living in the US at the time. They were
sponsored by the CIA of course, but the CIA, at the time, had many
schemes to assassinate Fidel. So no US military personnel were directly
involved in the so-called invasion.

What's next? Khruschev withdrew the missiles, JFK was assassinated,
Khruschev was replaced, etc., etc., etc.

1961 was 56 years ago, what happened then has little relevance to

I meant to add that before Italy & Turkey had Jupiters the UK had US
Thors (from Aug 1958).

At the time the UK populace were advised that in the event of an attack
there was about 4 mins before missiles reached the UK - termed the
'4-minute warning'. London-Moscow is about 2,500km, Italy (Rome) is
about 2,400km from Moscow, and Turkey (Ankara) about 1,800km.
Turkey would have been a much shorter flightime, although I doubt
that it would be strategically significant -2m instead of 4m.

No. Not a pre-emptive strike with nukes. That's crazy.

Only if it is possible to take out NK's nuclear capabilities with conventional weapons.

Can it be done with nukes then... without destroying the whole country
and millions of innocent people...

The correct path would be negotiations but Trump hasn't even tried!

You mean because negotiations with NK have had so much success in the last 25 years, right?

it's true, and i hear from non american friends that since we're the
only one to have used them, we're the one to fear. that's reasonable,
i can't fault their logic or their fear.

but it was a long time ago, and none of the same people are alive so
until we make a habit of it, i think we're smart enough to use
anything like that as a last resort only.

You used the term 'pre-emptive strike'... which is always used on nukes
and nukes alone.
