    "The U.S. has roughly 24,000 troops stationed in South Korea and
    approximately 40,000 in Japan, a significant and formidable military
    presence. Meanwhile, North Korea has roughly 1.2 million troops,
    approximately 11,000 artillery units and is believed to have around 60
    nuclear weapons. The U.S. might be the more advanced and equipped
    force, but it's widely agreed millions of innocent lives would be lost
    if it went to war with KIm Jong Un's regime.

    There's no guarantee North Korea's nukes would be wiped out before the
    country could retaliate, meaning millions of people—including 100,000 Americans living in the region—would be in imminent danger. Japanese
    and South Korean civilians would be under direct threat, as would U.S.
    troops and civilians stationed in those countries and in the nearby
    U.S. territory of Guam"

    Of course, if Kim already has the ability to hit soft city targets in
    the US like Seattle, millions of US lives would be at risk of
    molecular disintegration. It simply isn't known because there are
    absolutely no spies in DPRK, it's as tight as a shark's arsehole.


    I have lived a lot,
    trembled a lot,
    was surrounded by little men
    who forgot that we entered naked
    and exit naked
    and that no accountant can audit life in our favor.

    ### - look, he's selling japan the thaad system (+ other systems) to shoot
    down anything going over their heads, right? he's angling to get 'them' to
    do it...

    so if ding-dong launches something and they shoot it down and NK nukes
    japan in revenge (and yes am aware this IS an extreme example heh) you're telling me trumpy *wouldn't* DO something about it??

    they're only 'looking' for an excuse currently thang! they can't preempt because of china's assertion to defend NK *unless* NK starts it first!

    so ok, he doesn't 'nuke' japan (doesn't go 'that' far) but does
    'something' in retaliation? (i dunno what but something, conventional weapons/firepower only maybe, some token reply only but something! (shoots
    at japan's open land/sea/air space like he did once to SK when he shot up
    some empty island of theirs killing half a dozen) - are you saying trumpy *wouldn't* stick to his promise to defend/protect his allies??

    problem is... even only a conventional weapons exchange would quickly
    escalate into something far more deadly! and if that's the case the US
    couldn't then actually 'afford' to give old ding-dong even a fighting
    chance! thus, basically, IF and/or WHEN nk shoots at 'anyone' they're
    gonna have to massively take him out one-time *before* he can do anything worse!

    personally, am of the opinion that being 'aware' in-advance that japan is
    gonna shoot something down, the US (and all other forces gathered there)
    will likely have to act immediately to 'forestall' ANY reply BEFORE
    ding-dong even has the CHANCE to?

    that considering the horrible threats & remarks old ding-dong has made to
    the US (and others) i think they wanna punish him now? (ya can't say shit
    like that to america and nothing happens ffs??) fuck him up in the worst
    way if only as an example to others of just what to expect if/when they're
    all riled up! (which is precisely, cough-cough, if ya think about it, what
    they did to japan & nagasaki that time as an example to russia and anyone
    else not to FUCK with 'em!)

    there's prolly 100's of reason why NK *can't* be taken out thang,
    shouldn't BE taken out! good logical reasons not to, the danger of war and
    all the rest of it! it's unthinkable! but i just don't see the US is ever
    gonna 'allow' themselves to even LOOK weak or indecisive in the face of
    such danger & threats! he's openly threatened to NUKE the USA!?!? (lol
    even the russians weren't stupid enough to do that! the threat was only
    ever 'implicit' never overt!)

    meanwhile, ding-dong has stopped launching! so the thaad system in japan +
    the open threat (from japan) to shoot anything flying over their heads +
    what that could all lead to, puts even more pressure on NK not to fire
    anything off over in THAT direction!

    but if he can't launch OVER japan then he can't reach the US!

    so is ding-dong gonna let them DO that do ya think? let them lock him
    down??

    how can he threaten the US if he CAN'T fire anything over japan??

    trouble is; put a rat in a corner and it's likely to jump atcha?

    and there they all are currently, surrounding him, waiting for him to even twitch!

    all on full nuclear alert just in case!

    you can cut the tension with a knife?

    else... ding-dong suddenly sees sense and rolls over??

    (even then i think they wanna punish him? he's GOT to go!)

    can ya just see the breaking news?: NK *accepts* regime change rather than
    die!

    riiiight.....
