I voted no because there is no compelling reason to get into a shooting war with this insignificant tin pot dictator. North Korea has virtually no ability to carry on a sustained war and they HAVE to realize that reprisals would be swift and devastating. That HAS to give them pause - regardless of their bluster.
It's amazing how many people don't learn from recent history which included Afghanistan, Iraq and other adventures that were supposed to be surgical and quick.
If I were Kim and was attacked, I'd fire every conventional artillery piece I had, and I have many, at Seoul immediately as well as unleashing my stockpile of chemical and biological weapons. And I'd set off my pre-positioned at the border nukes as well.
And that's for starters.

Trust me, he won't need this to get reelected. The dithering Dems are practically going to hand him reelection.
Which would guarantee the obliteration of North Korea by China and the US, likely sanctioned by the UN.
Just keep thinking that as the blue tsunami builds.
If you think China would react to our starting a war with North Korea by joining in on our side, I have a bridge to sell you.
I voted the same.

Um, okies. You can dream, I suppose.
I can dream too. *sniffle* (Frankly, with Trump I wouldn't be surprised by ANY developments.)

I voted "no" because time can sometimes change things. Who would have thought decades ago countries like Vietnam and China and Italy and Germany, etc. would be trading partners with us?
I cannot understand why anyone would vote "yes" because of all the life that would be lost-- mostly innocent ones.

The cold war begins again.
Please leave all the reasons why Trump going to war with North Korea would help him get reelected.
Thanks!
Interesting thought I had last night, both these fellows have this "hair" thing going on.
I wonder if that is significant.

Do you believe Israel was right in killing Iranian nuclear scientists?
Mostly I agree but with one stipulation: if he, say, became a communist, for example, I would be not only surprised but astonished and flabbergasted.

Well, yes, that would probably get a raised eyebrow or two.

I would not use the word "right" in that context but I do believe one has a "right" of self defense.
Does Iran have that right?
Even less likely, what if his speech became civil, thoughtful, & measured?
Just kidding!
It'll never happen.

Israel wasn't defending themselves when they killed the Iranian scientists. Iran was making threats like North Korea's making. Israel was simply trying to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons

Since the Iranian leadership frequently said they would be willing to destroy Israel, the Israeli actions can be viewed as self-defense.
