Aren't you glad we have someone honest, forthright, and steady at the helm (SIGH)

If Donald Trump Fights North Korea, We All Do
You don’t want war with North Korea. But do you want Kim Kong Un to be sitting on a warhead that can take out Chicago? That’s probably the choice.


North Korea has played its pair of twos better than any other county in history. To reclaim the upper hand, we have to stop their nuclear weapons program. If we use force to do so, we must be ready to go the distance. I am not advocating for total war with the DORK, but I am pointing out that this horrific outcome is becoming increasingly likely and, if it comes, will involve millions of troops, thousands of pieces of artillery and missiles, hundreds of aircraft and ships, and, cost tens of thousands of casualties and untold amounts of treasure.

North Korea’s goal is to develop nuclear weapons that can reach the United States. Our posture of strategic patience has worked in their favor. They get closer with every missile launch and nuclear test. What we thought would take decades is now more like a couple of years, if we are lucky.
The DORK having this capability is a significant security threat. Their ability to get away with provocative actions because they can threaten our allies is well established. They have killed South Koreans with no real consequences simply because they hold Seoul hostage with 11,000 pieces of conventional artillery. What will they try to get away with when the hostage is Chicago?

...

A new Korean war could change the world overnight. Anyone who is shocked to wake up one morning and see that we are taking out North Korean targets has not been paying attention. Anyone who is equally shocked when they shoot back has also not been paying attention. There is a saying that’s often used in military operations, “The enemy gets a vote.” We have to be prepared to answer whatever North Korea’s vote may be

I pity the Japanese and South Koreans.

1. I have family in Japan.

They are horrified about the outcome of our election. I remember promising them there was no way the American people would elect Trump. And they didn't. But here we are.
