North Korea

Things could get lit up real quick and it worries me that China and Russia could get involved.

When Trump and Kim Jong-Un get into a penis comparison contest, the world is not a safer place.

No worries Sonny, china is at risk from NK as well;  some of china's territory is coveted by nk from what I've read.  The POTUS I doubt thinks much about little kim and his delusions, although I'm certain many in the employ of the US keep a Very close watch on NK.  Russia I think is just biding their time.  While much has been made about Ukraine (and should be) the area's under russian control are inhabited by, well, russians.  Not to say that should unrest happen elsewhere in the world the russian border wouldn't expand a little more  (sort of a, "Hey, look over there" move)

I'd be much more worried about the enemies that obama armed with nukes.  With the eu overrun by an invading army and little justin opening the border here, well, I'd be more worried about a suitcase than an NK missle.

But then that's just me.

Count me in on that that worry too.  Our country is systematically being invaded now with Trudeau's wide open border policy.
About North Korea, Kim is nuts, but most Liberals would still rather see their President toppled than Kim it seems.
My prediction is China will eventually step up to the plate and moderate Kim.  They have too much at stake.

Hope you guys are right.

I recently read a book about the DPRK from a very different perspective than what we get from the media.
It was written by a North Korean girl who was an escapee/defector from Kim's regime.
The book is "In Order To Live" by Yeonmi Park.
Interesting read by a now somewhat influenced girl that lived a pretty rough upbringing in the DPRK and the perils of her escape through China.
It did open my eyes to the sad plight of many North Korean people who are brainwashed by the Kim regime and don't even know that there are alternatives.
Also, it shows that China is a pretty rough country in it's own right and in some respects not all that different than the DPRK itself.  China is changing though, slowly.

OK ,Here we have a dictator messing around like a little kid disobeying his mommy , eventually the idiot is going to piss off the world like hitler and start a war.
Millions of innocent people will die , an for what , for nothing , just because of this Kim nutcase , WHY .
Why not just take him out , and him alone , why bomb innocent people , its just ludicrous ,this is 2017 , not 1517 , .
He starts a war , then he hides under his bed , and the rest of us have to fight each other because of this nutcase .
Thank the stars we have TRUMP , because l think that's what he has in mind , good for him , we,ll see.

North Korea is the scourge of modern economics and international peace.

How long can a rouge nation with Nuke capability keep poking the bear(any western country). So many politicians have just sat back and let this nut and his father build a nuclear program. At least Trump is pushing back with the same talk. This nut Kim has to know NK will be taken out if he launches a nuke at any country.

I think some covert mission has to happen within NK and take out or severely hamper their nuke programs. Or China finally reins in the brat kid.

I'm not worried WW3 will start over anything Trump or this nut say. Too much at stake. Just two ego maniacs trying to one up each other on the look at me stage.

Yup, someone has to go "James Bond" on them just to show them who's boss.

I would say as long as your big friend allows you too.

Not to many Western Nations want to go to any kind of war with China. Whether that be sticks and stones or nukes. Hence, why most Western Nations spend most of there attention on persuading China to do the right thing and basically ignore what comes out of North Korea.  What Kim Jong-un says is irrelevant and reaction to what he says is just a soap box for him which is what he wanted in the first place.

If only..

       I think you are pretty bang on here.  We love to think of our "big brother" to the south as the most powerful nation in the world but it just aint so.
