about to put a suicide squeeze on North Korea (and that is what the 150k troops are about)?

Trump and Xi seem to have a respect for one another.

While china has protected NK, Kim is not one to hitch your wagon to because he could legitimately start nuclear war in Asia.

Side note: amazing how fast the Russian collusion in the election story is gone...now we are supposedly going to war with them.

I'm going to say the 150k at the border is not a legit story until I see it appearing elsewhere...

It makes no sense that he's hanging out with Xi while about to start a war their best buddies next door.

I'm sure I'll give some here their laugh for the night, but I paid close attention to the rapport between Xi & Trump. It was plain to me that Xi has both respect and reverence for our President.

Trump has asserted himself on the national stage, and the dirty little truth is that most countries respect strength & power. The Neville Chamberlain & Barack Obama's of the world seek appeasement, but they are disrespected and considered to be weak.

North Korea is not China's buddy. NK is a client state, nothing more.

Possible, but highly, HIGHLY unlikely.

Without getting in real deep detail, could someone tell me whether North Korea actually has nuclear weapons capable of hitting South Korea?

If he has a legitimate Nuclear stockpile, this is a dangerous game we are playing here. If he senses he is about to die that coward is likely to just set off his nukes right there and kill every living thing in North and South Korea along with China.

Trump offering part of NK to china as a deal.


Would be interesting strategy. Push for regime change with a more stable regime and relieve some of the atrocities in NK, but let China choose the regime and keep the 2 countries seperate rather than a united Korea

Any nuke set off in that area will affect a certain radius around the site. Depending on where it is detonated you could see different results. The fallout will destroy the country. Parts of China will be affected certainly.

I am actually confident that both China and America will play this right and wait until they are confident that they can diffuse Kim without him setting off his nukes. They know the ramifications if they don't do it just right.

I can't believe this nut job ever was able to get a nuke anyways.

Doubt it. But China probably wouldn't shed a tear if the little wack job was ousted. I'm actually suprised Jong has lasted this long.

They don't have Nukes capable of reach Seoul. They don't need them. The border is just 35 miles from Seoul. There are 13,000 artillery pieces along the border pointed at Seoul.

Do you think NK has artillery capable of hitting targets 35 miles away?
