Leave God, or gods out of it. That's just an excuse for bad behaviour like we are lemmings without sense.

I guess the defector wasn't aware Trump was in office. Had he do you think he would have risked his life to flee from the North Korean Paradise created by the godmanun

Steed, I think that whole issue of Trump getting angry, probably from Twitter, and unilaterally firing a nuke at NK was debunked a page or so ago.

There are processes. The American procedures are very well thought out and will cover all possible situations. It is a very developed system that is flexible, yet well managed by many inputs.

Someone saying otherwise is less informed or if citing a source, citing a less informed one.

It is the nature of any "news" outlet to create drama to get readers. They all do it to varying degrees. There is actually a very developed skill in misinformation that many, many countries use. Mostly through news manipulation.

Apparently South Korea are now using loud speakers to taunt North Korea over the soldier that defected. Very unnecessary in my opinion, provoking an already tense situation but hey-ho

Like in a football game where they fight and fuss (like Oakland and Denver yesterday) they are still of the same ink chiding each other. but your right might it come back to bite them.

Nothing that both sides aren't equally guilty of.

It has been going on for 60 years. NK continued, but SK stopped as a bargaining chip. SK was deemed to effective.

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

SK should have restarted as soon as NK said no to further negotiations. Conflict is not pretty.

Another article on the 'duty to disobey' an illegal nuke order:

The Duty To Disobey A Nuclear Launch Order --

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...b0250a107c0130

For those inclined to look further into the legalities of war, here is a link to the DoD field manual, referenced in the above article, FM-22-10 (2015), Law Of War:

https://www.defense.gov/Portals/1/Do...r_manual15.pdf

Its a light read at over 1200 pages...

The Huffington Post is not a self-developing news agency. They accept bloggers and news from other agencies. The owners and programmers look for news that fits their agenda.

I never use them for anything.

North Korea has fired a ballistic missile, South Korean media say, quoting military officials.
