In reply to the discussion: After new N. Korea missile test, U.S. says has military options [View all]TomCADem
(17,387 posts)23. Bingo! Trump Is Happy to Throw Allies Under the Bus
Last edited Sat Sep 16, 2017, 07:28 PM - Edit history (2)
Trump is happy to egg on North Korea with threats to wipe it out, and North Korea responds with threats to US allies. But, because "Japan is not a US territory," Trump continues to flap his lips and endanger U.S. allies. Finally, if and when North Korea announces and then launches a test missile toward Guam, and Trump responds by launching live cruise missiles at North Korean targets, which then triggers a North Korean bombardment of Seoul, it will be the US, not North Korea that actually initiated hostilities. Yes, no U.S lives were lost, but our allies again pay the price for Trump's bluster.
Oh, but I am sure that Hillary or Bernie would be doing the same thing.

So you wish to wait until NK kills tens if not hundreds of thousands in an attack?

So lets kill them now instead of later? Is that what you're suggesting? Aren't you a peach.

i've thought about what might happen if we launched a missile over North Korean territory.
