What do you guys in America make of this? Rather troubling.

Troubling, it's insane.
If the only objective is to destroy all of North Korea's weapon programs, then yes, I guess invasion and killing/destroying large parts of their country is the only way to be sure. But that should not be the only objective. Perhaps a better objective is not to force North Korea into a position where they think the above is the US's only objective and that North Korea has "nothing to lose".

Just watched the "13 days" and this sort of reminds me of it.

It is good to have doves and hawks. Obviously, the SEC State talks diplomacy and the JCS talks destroying the threat. The VEEP talks stability and, well, POTUS talks a tough position.
Their seems to be a long pause. If the U.S. rhetoric keeps NK from doing what they are doing for 4 years, that will be seen as an effective strategy. NK needs to test missiles and warheads; without that, they slow down and permit China, Japan, and SK to better prepare. I see it as NK's turn. |

China has made that very clear, if we strike first they will support NK. If NK strikes first they are on their own.

I doubt we need not bother with that as the Nukes probably be flying.

Way down below China was discussed on and off.
For me, in learning, I think China has drifted a bit from just arbitrarily coming to NK's defense. They have drifted towards their own agenda since KJU took over. I think they see the world in color as compared to NKs black and white. Just me. |

As a military kind of thinker, opposed to a political thinker, I say we call their bluff ... China won't do a thing or risk war themselves.
They won't unleash their nuclear arsenal of weapons to defend poor little NK. They will of course protest along with Russia and Trump will assert that that NK had it coming due to it's constant disregard for peace talks to put their weapons program on hold. Gentlemen war is on the way ... I am sure of that. Before they have the ability to strike back in the numbers game of deadly nuclear tipped missiles. This war is between good and evil ... it is good to stop evil before they can strike back and hurt the mother land. One or two EMP strikes over NK should take out any accuracy of their launching a second attack.

I saw a nighttime satellite view of NK. Do they even have electricity?

Just pretend that they are too green to actually use it

Just saw this in the news...I have thought on it often in the past.
"If the Pentagon wants to secure all of North Korea's nuclear weapons in the event of a conflict, it's going to have to send in lots of ground troops to get the job done. That's the conclusion shared with lawmakers in a letter from vice director of the Joint Staff Rear Adm. Michael J. Dumont. Dumont also writes that North Korea would also consider the use of biological and chemical weapons in the event of a war with the United States." Reason is that if U.S. forces flow into SK, those arrival sites (ports/airfields) would be prime targets for short/medium range missile(s) |
