3. "The right to shoot down planes even if they are not in North Korea's air space."

Fuck! That means they may just start shooting down both commercial and military planes in South Korea, the Sea of Japan, almost anywhere in Asia for a start.

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

On edit: The foreign minister is still in the US, after the UN meetings last week. I wonder if he formally hand-delivered a Declaration of War?

Please Congress and Mr. Mueller, get a hook and drag that flaming a$$hole off the stage before he starts World War III, if he hasn't already gone and done it.

I don't think I can argue with that conclusion JenniferJuniper Sep 2017 #1

me either. SummerSnow Sep 2017 #2

You believe NK sarisataka Sep 2017 #6

No, that is what the article says not me. SummerSnow Sep 2017 #10

You agreed with the post sarisataka Sep 2017 #12

Did he not threaten NK ? SummerSnow Sep 2017 #15

He did, sarisataka Sep 2017 #28

I agree. SummerSnow Sep 2017 #32

Not what I said. JenniferJuniper Sep 2017 #11

Presidents do not declare war sarisataka Sep 2017 #14

I'm talking about Kim's conclusions JenniferJuniper Sep 2017 #17

I suspect Kim's knowledge sarisataka Sep 2017 #23

More knowledge than Trump does not JenniferJuniper Sep 2017 #33

True sarisataka Sep 2017 #38

Congress has abdicated that power MyNameGoesHere Sep 2017 #55

No. I don't. But Trump did basically declare war. Voltaire2 Sep 2017 #13

Thank you SummerSnow Sep 2017 #16

There is a big difference sarisataka Sep 2017 #18

On both sides. Voltaire2 Sep 2017 #31

For years NK has been a small aggressive dog sarisataka Sep 2017 #36

"A small, aggressive dog..." Nevernose Sep 2017 #53

I will defer sarisataka Sep 2017 #54

Why not defero the citizens of North Korea? Nevernose Sep 2017 #56

Apparently you have sarisataka Sep 2017 #57

How much leeway do you think we'd give a NK bomber flying near us? Hoyt Sep 2017 #19

About the same as sarisataka Sep 2017 #30

I bet we'd buzz them several hundred or more miles out, with rockets fired well in international Hoyt Sep 2017 #37

The only long range bomber sarisataka Sep 2017 #41

They aren't much of a threat, are they? We can tell the militia to stand down. Hoyt Sep 2017 #43

I think we are safe sarisataka Sep 2017 #45

LOL! Hoyt Sep 2017 #48

I believe that is what they believe Bettie Sep 2017 #42

I think he forgets sarisataka Sep 2017 #47

Pretty much. Voltaire2 Sep 2017 #9

It takes Congress for war to be declared technically still_one Sep 2017 #29

"The right to shoot down planes even if they are not in North Korea's air space." hedda_foil Sep 2017 #3

I am watching MSNBC without the sound since Huckabee Sanders BigmanPigman Sep 2017 #4

Sums it up pretty much. nancy1942 Sep 2017 #5

The "president" has no right to declare war. Beausoleil Sep 2017 #7

Since WWII the president has initiated hostilities Voltaire2 Sep 2017 #21

True, but remember President Truman bypassed Congress to go to war in Korea. SummerSnow Sep 2017 #24

time to text RESIST to 50409 and tell your state.. samnsara Sep 2017 #8

What exactly would trump do if they shoot down one of those planes? The_Casual_Observer Sep 2017 #20

My hunch is he's going to test it, and all hell might break out. n/t RKP5637 Sep 2017 #25

I think he will then actually declare war and attack NK SummerSnow Sep 2017 #26

Declaring war is so 20th century. We just push buttons now. harun Sep 2017 #27

Full-on bombing campaign, most likely NickB79 Sep 2017 #39

The F-117 was withdrawn from service in 2008. gordianot Sep 2017 #52

Most likely sarisataka Sep 2017 #44

My hunch is Trump will send a drone over/near NK to see what happens! IMO we're on the edge. RKP5637 Sep 2017 #22

Donald & this guy are in cahoots. Madam45for2923 Sep 2017 #34

The Korean War never actually ended. Binkie The Clown Sep 2017 #35

Does that mean Trump can actually re-initiate bombing without approval of Congress? NickB79 Sep 2017 #40

Yup, and that limits NK zipplewrath Sep 2017 #46

Why should this be taken any more seriously than the rest of the wacky rhetoric out of North Korea? Oneironaut Sep 2017 #49

It's Only A Matter Of Time I Promise You That! Corey_Baker08 Sep 2017 #50

NK has been telling its people that the US attack will come tomorrow Warpy Sep 2017 #51
