This doesn't make any sense. China may make a showing of their "support" for North Korea, but it makes very little sense for them to get into an armed conflict with their single biggest trading partner over Kim Jong-un's bravado.
North Korea doesn't even have the Russians on their side right now, who issued a statement yesterday to the effect of, "The North Koreans are going to fuck something up or something is going to malfunction, and shit's going to hit the fan. So yes, we're concerned."
Yeah, the fact that China is on highest alert, not responding to communications from the US on the subject, and are moving forces and armored divisions towards the N. Korean border means nothing, amirite?
It might. I've only ever moved one thread to smackatorium and it was several pages of harsh trash talking. I don't much care to interfere but I will if everyone keeps returning to this thread to discuss the NK situation and the back and forth between DOHCTR & Jester, et al continues.
Fuck you, buddy. In a very uncomfortable place. And I'm not talking about the back of a Festiva.
China sees this, I bet they have been planning something for years, maybe, it just came up sooner than later. But I bet both of them together feel they can still take us, we shall see.

well, there are about 32 people i can think of right off the top of my head that would swear up and down he is playing all the cards himself like its a damn game of solitaire.
And I know there are politics playing here, you cant just go in and bomb anyone anymore.
But sometimes, it seems, that we are the only ones playing by the rules. The only glimmer of hope I have seen is the raid on Osama...that is the ONLY ray of sunshine I have seen in any decision making from this administration as far as "foreign policy".
But then again, I am only 29, still a lot of learning left.....I hope
You do know that indecisive dumbass didn't make that call, or the one on the Somali pirates, right?
We've been waiting 4 years for a budget, and the best Captain Kangaroo can do is kick the can down the road.
Except it isn't. This amount of rhetoric and actions from N. Korea, plus the build-up in China and the US is unprecedented.

Rhetoric was their way of conditioning us to expect something, then nothing. Now, when they, (your subjects), feel that it was all just talk, kick em in the nuts.
Its almost as if they are trying to create an element of surprise, only problem is, it isn’t working out considering that we at least take everything they say into consideration.
I bet they felt that we would approach this with the same tact as previous saber rattling. Then he had two choices, back down or strike when he felt we were least suspecting. But, we ramped up and engaged right back. Now he is in a corner...no element of surprise, no backing down (too much pride for him) which is even more scary than his words.

Do you honestly believe that thread won't suffer the same fate?

Any chance we can have a moderator move all of the bullshit from and to daddy's little rich kid in this thread to the Smackatorium, and let this thread be about the actual subject?

It wouldn't be DFWM if shit didn't get derailed.
But, if they start up again, I'll split the thread so we can keep this one [mostly] on topic.
