If the Fat kid millenial dictator drops 4 missiles within 20 miles of Guam, what should we do?

[toobfreak]

What the real issue here is South Korea; had those jackasses since the Korean war moved or built a new city away from the damned border away from the North's artillery reach, and built up some serious defense, we would not be in this jam. Meantime, their president gives us a hard time about even having THAAD. They don't want to "antagonize" the pot belly pig. If not for them we would have no problem, but if we go in preemptively, they blow the shit out of Seoul. If we don't launch and just sit on our hands, we are made to look like the idiots, bullied by this little country, or worse, they get off 10 nuclear ICBM's and a third or half of them hit U.S. Targets. THEN we launch a nuclear counter-strike after millions of Americans die, we blow the smithereens out of North Korea, but not before South Korea takes it in the head.

Either way, South Korea gets its ass handed to them, so I say that unless China acts VERY VERY SOON to stop Kim and disarm his nuclear arms, we GO IN and take out Kim and his bottle rockets WHILE WE STILL CAN. Before we wait too long. And that includes his subs. Last people to make such threats against us was al-Quada--- --- and they gave us 9/11 with just a handful of pilots, and like now, we heard the warnings but JUST KEPT WAITING TOO LONG.

Move a city.

Um, yeah.

Go back to playing with your Legos.

You don't PHYSICALLY MOVE the actually city, numbnut, but you stop investing in developing the one you have, start building at a better location and relocate most of your people and resources there. If Kim is finally defeated, you still have the old city to move back to if you want, and if it is still standing. If Seoul gets massacred because they sat there for 60 years thinking that the communist North would just always be docile, then they aren't 1/10th as smart as they think they are and I won't lose any sleep if they get hammered.

 

[WaitingFor2020]

We have AEGIS ships which can blow Kim's missiles out of the sky without breaking a sweat.

The question is what is Trump doing to prevent that even being necessary?

Oh, that's right. He's busy improving his golf handicap, which he also lies about.

The fat transgender north Korean leader is bluffing like usual....

The delusion on this board is stunning.

This whole thing is bullshit and it's the fault of every administration PRIOR to Trump...yes, Bush as well.

This mess is not Trump's fault....at all. He has not been in government and was not involved in the decision to pay extortion money to NOKO that they used to further their nuclear program.

So funny how you blame the orange sociopaths for nothing.

You wouldn't be asking your question if the orange loon knew when to shut his imbecile mouth.

I would say conventional, surgical response on missile sites....bunker busters....MOABs....and try to actually hit something worthwhile, not an empty runway with several dozen $$$$$ cruise missiles.

Are you going to volunteer to fly that cargo plane into NK with the MOAB?

I thought you claimed to be a former naval officer? You should know damn well that cruise missiles against runways are a waste of time and money!

Oh, wait! I forgot, you aren't a real sailor, You were kept busy flying crates of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong!

 

[iceberg]

We should avoid becoming hysterical until it happens. The pot bellied pig plays the U.S. media like a violin. Where was the N.K. threat in the last eight freaking years?

2008
January 2, 2008: Following a December 31, 2007 deadline for North Korea to provide a complete and correct declaration on its nuclear programs and disable its Yongbyon nuclear facilities, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack indicates that “some technical questions about the cooling of the fuel rods” was the reason behind the failure to meet the year-end deadline for disablement. He added that Washington would continue to press Pyongyang for its nuclear declaration.

January 4, 2008: KCNA releases a North Korean Foreign Ministry statement declaring that North Korea “worked out a report on the nuclear declaration in November last year and notified the U.S. side of its contents.” The statement also accuses the other parties of falling behind on their commitments under an October 2007 agreement, including delays in the delivery of heavy-fuel oil to North Korea. Pyongyang indicated that it would slow down the disablement process in response to delays in the delivery of energy assistance.

February 6, 2008: Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill testifies before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and indicates that, in the Fall of 2007, North Korea showed U.S. officials two conventional weapons systems it claimed were the recipients of the thousands of aluminum tubes Pyongyang imported years ago which raised suspicions of a uranium enrichment program. He informs the committee that while the tubes did not work with one of these systems, the U.S. government accepts that the tubes were currently being used for a second conventional weapons system.

Hill also requests from Congress a limited waiver of 1994 Glenn amendment sanctions imposed on North Korea following its nuclear test in 2006. These sanctions, which prohibit the provision of non-humanitarian assistance to non-nuclear-weapon states which have detonated a nuclear weapon, prevent the National Nuclear Security Administration from carrying out work to dismantle the Yongbyon nuclear facilities.

February 25, 2008: South Korean President-elect Lee Myung-bak is inaugurated.

March 13-14, 2008: Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill and North Korea Vice-Foreign Minister Kim Gye Gwan meet in Geneva to discuss ways to make progress on North Korea’s declaration, including the consideration of a compromise approach to the declaration format. Press reports from the Yonhap News Agency and The Washington Times suggest that compromise proposals would include a formal North Korean declaration on its plutonium program, while the uranium enrichment question and the issue of proliferation would be addressed separately. The meeting ends inconclusively.

April 8, 2008: Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill and North Korea Vice-Foreign Minister Kim Gye Gwan meet in Singapore for additional discussions on the North Korean declaration. The two envoys reportedly reached a compromise agreement on the North Korean nuclear declaration which would entail North Korea’s accounting of its plutonium-based nuclear weapons program and its acknowledgement of U.S. allegations regarding its proliferation and uranium enrichment activities.

April 24, 2008: U.S. administration and intelligence officials brief Congress and the public regarding their assessment that the Syrian facility destroyed by Israel in September 2007 was a nuclear reactor under construction with North Korean assistance. The briefings featured a CIA-produced video that includes photographs taken from inside and around the facility at various times during its construction, as well as satellite images and digital renderings of certain elements of the reactor’s operations.

May 8, 2008: North Korea provides a U.S. delegation in Pyongyang with about 18,000 pages of documentation detailing the operations of two of its primary plutonium-related facilities at Yongbyon: a five megawatt nuclear reactor and a reprocessing facility. The records date back to 1986.

June 24, 2008: Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill tells reporters that North Korea’s upcoming nuclear declaration will consist of a “package of items” listing all nuclear materials and programs. The package will reportedly include a formal accounting of North Korea’s plutonium and plutonium-related nuclear facilities and side-documents regarding nuclear proliferation and uranium enrichment. Hill says the declaration will not include an accounting of nuclear weapons, which “are to be determined at a subsequent phase.”

June 26, 2008: Pyongyang delivers a declaration of its nuclear programs to China, the six-party talks chair. The declaration reportedly indicates that North Korea separated a total of about 30 kilograms of plutonium, and used about 2 kilograms for its 2006 nuclear test.

In return for North Korea’s declaration, President George W. Bush rescinds the application of the Trading with the Enemy Act toward Pyongyang, and notifies Congress of his intention to remove North Korea from the list of state sponsors of terrorism after 45 days, in accordance with U.S. law.

June 30, 2008: President George W. Bush signs into law the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2008, which includes a provision allowing the president to waive sanctions on North Korea related to the 1994 Glenn Amendment imposed on Pyongyang following its 2006 nuclear test.

July 12, 2008: The participants in the six-party talks issue a statement outlining broadly the process for verifying North Korea’s nuclear programs. The six parties agree that experts from those countries will be involved in visits to nuclear facilities, the review of documents related to North Korea’s nuclear program, and the interview of technical personnel. The statement also establishes a timeline for completing the disablement of North Korea’s key nuclear facilities and the energy assistance being provided to Pyongyang in return, stating that both processes would be “fully implemented in parallel.”

Mid-July, 2008: The United States tables a draft verification protocol describing procedures used to verify all elements of North Korea’s nuclear programs, including uranium enrichment, weapons, and proliferation. The protocol includes provisions for access upon request for any declared or undeclared site and lists technical recording and detection measures inspectors could undertake. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill tells reporters July 22 that North Korea “indicated some problems” with the draft.

July 23, 2008: The foreign ministers of the six-party talks participants meet informally on the sidelines of an Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit.

Late July 2008: North Korea proposes a draft protocol to verify its nuclear activities. Diplomatic sources later tell Arms Control Today that this proposal is insufficient and it is not used as the basis for further verification negotiations.

August 2008: North Korean leader Kim Jong Il reportedly suffers a stroke, raising questions outside the country as to the status of the leadership in Pyongyang.

August 11, 2008: The 45-day period after which the president may remove North Korea from the State Department’s terrorism list expires. The president does not carry out the de-listing at this time. State Department spokesman Robert Wood tells reporters the next day that the 45-day period is a “minimum” rather than a deadline.

August 13, 2008: Japan and North Korea reach an agreement on procedures for addressing the abduction issue. Pyongyang commits to complete a reinvestigation into the fate of the abducted Japanese nationals by Fall 2008 and to provide Tokyo with access to locations, documents, and interviews in North Korea to conduct its own investigation. In return, Japan agrees to lift certain travel restrictions between the two countries and to discuss easing a ban on North Korea’s access to Japanese ports. The agreement is not implemented in the agreed timeframe.

August 22, 2008: Sung Kim, U.S. special envoy to the six-party talks, meets with North Korean officials in New York regarding revisions to the U.S. draft verification protocol.

August 26, 2008: KCNA carries a statement by a North Korean Foreign ministry official stating that the United States has not carried out its commitment to remove Pyongyang from the State Department’s terrorism list and that agreement on a verification protocol was not a condition of that commitment. In response, the statement indicates that Pyongyang will suspend the disablement of its key nuclear facilities at Yongbyon and consider taking steps to restore them “to their original state.”

September 17, 2008: Jane’s Defense Weekly reports that North Korea has nearly completed a new missile test site on its western coast near the village of Pongdong-ni. The site is believed to be more sophisticated than North Korea’s eastern missile launch site at Musudan-ri, with a capacity to carry out flights tests of larger missiles on a more frequent basis.

September 24, 2008: The IAEA issues a press statement indicating that, at Pyongyang’s request, the agency completed removing seals from North Korea’s reprocessing facility. The statement also said that North Korea informed the agency that it would begin introducing nuclear material at that facility “in one week’s time” and that inspectors would no longer have access to the plant.

October 1-3, 2008: Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill visits Pyongyang to discuss verification.

October 11, 2008: U.S. officials hold a State Department press briefing to announce a preliminary agreement with Pyongyang on measures to verify North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs. The agreement consists of a written joint document and verbal understandings which they say must be approved by the other four six-party talks participants. According to a State Department summary, the new agreement gives inspectors access to all 15 declared sites related to North Korea’s plutonium production program as well as undeclared sites “by mutual consent.” It also allows inspectors to carry out “scientific procedures” such as sampling.

In response to the verification agreement, the United States removes North Korea from the State Department’s terrorism list.

October 13, 2008: KCNA issues a North Korean Foreign Ministry statement indicating that, following its removal from the State Department’s terrorism list, Pyongyang will resume disabling its key nuclear facilities at the Yongbyon nuclear complex.

November 13, 2008: The North Korean Foreign Ministry issues a statement which denies that Pyongyang agreed to allow inspectors to carry out sampling at its nuclear facilities. The statement says that inspection activities are limited to “field visits, confirmation of documents, and interviews with technicians.” Pyongyang also says it is slowing, by half, the rate at which it removed spent fuel rods from its five-megawatt reactor in response to delays in receiving pledged energy aid.

Early December 2008: The United States completes the final shipment of its 200,000 tons of heavy fuel oil pledged to North Korea, bringing the total energy assistance to about 550,000 of 1 million tons.

December 8-11, 2008: Six-party discussions on verification, disablement, and energy assistance in Beijing end in stalemate due to a failure to reach agreement on verification. U.S. officials later claim that North Korea refused to agree in writing what it agreed verbally in October. The six parties issue a chairman’s statement in which they agree “to implement in parallel the disablement of the Yongbyon nuclear facilities and the provision of economic and energy assistance.”

December 12, 2008: State Department spokesperson Sean McCormack says that heavy fuel oil shipments to North Korea will not continue without a verification agreement, stating that “there is an understanding among the parties...that fuel oil shipments will not go forward absent progress.” China and Russia deny such an understanding and indicate that they intend to complete their share of the energy assistance.

2009
January 13, 2009: The North Korean Foreign Ministry issues a statement insisting that verification activities for nuclear disarmament should be carried out reciprocally between North and South Korea.

January 13-17, 2009: During a visit to Pyongyang, North Korean officials tell scholar Selig Harrison that the country’s declared stock of plutonium has “already been weaponized” and could not be inspected. Harrison relays North Korea’s claims in congressional testimony on February 12.

January 15-19, 2009: Hwang Joon-kook, South Korean deputy six-party talks negotiator, travels to North Korea to discuss Seoul’s potential purchase of about 14,000 fresh nuclear fuel rods previously produced at the Yongbyon complex. South Korean officials later indicate that Pyongyang demanded an exorbitant amount for the fuel and no deal was made.

February 3, 2009: Quoting unnamed South Korean officials, South Korea’s Yonhap newspaper reports that North Korea is preparing to test-launch its Taepo Dong 2 missile. Speculation about such a launch increases in the following days.

February 24, 2009: KCNA states that “preparations for launching [an] experimental communications satellite...are now making brisk headway.” The United States, Japan, and South Korea later warn North Korea that its planned satellite launch would be in violation of a UN Security Council resolution 1718 and indicate that the council would consider the issue for further action, should North Korea go through with the launch.

March 11, 2009: North Korean authorities inform the International Maritime Organization and the International Civil Aviation Organization that they will launch a satellite launch vehicle between April 4-8. North Korea provides these agencies with information regarding expected “dangerous area coordinates” where two of the rocket’s three stages are expected to fall.

March 13, 2009: South Korean Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan tells reporters that South Korea may need to review the possibility of formally joining the Proliferation Security Initiative in response to the upcoming North Korean rocket launch.

April 5, 2009: North Korea launches the three-stage Unha-2 rocket, widely believed to be a modified version of its long range Taepo Dong-2 ballistic missile.

April 13, 2009: The UN Security Council issues a presidential statement condemning North Korea’s April 5 rocket launch, and declaring it “in contravention of Security Council resolution 1718.” The statement also calls for strengthening the punitive measures under that resolution.

April 14, 2009: In response to UN Security Council statement, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry indicates that Pyongyang is withdrawing from the six-party talks and “will no longer be bound” by any of its agreements. North Korea also says that it will reverse steps taken to disable its nuclear facilities under six-party agreements in 2007 and will “fully reprocess” the 8,000 spent fuel rods from its Yongbyon reactor in order to extract plutonium for nuclear weapons.

This whole thing is bullshit and it's the fault of every administration PRIOR to Trump...yes, Bush as well.

This mess is not Trump's fault....at all. He has not been in government and was not involved in the decision to pay extortion money to NOKO that they used to further their nuclear program.

Conventional military response.

just drop the MOAB on the fat fks house.

You people just do not understand that system.

It's flown in a cargo plane!

Any of you guys that push your balls around in a wheel barrow want to sign up to fly the world's biggest target into a shooting gallery?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

i would call hank johnson being he is the ambassador

there is no Ambassador to North Korea.... Trump immediately fired them all and has not even submitted a replacement for North Korea yet!!

Hank Johnson should be the ambassador to Guam! Maybe if he actually went there he would learn that islands don't capsize!

 

[eagle1462010]

I voted to kill the Little Fat Man..............Our spooks can do so, and I've read that S. Korea has put that on the table for a last attempt to keep from going to War.

Kill his ass was my vote.

Conventional military response. Shoot the missiles down. If they manage to get through and land in our territory, their ships and subs start to mysteriously dissappear. If we get hit with a nuke, then NK becomes a lifeless crater.

I would say conventional, surgical response on missile sites....bunker busters....MOABs....and try to actually hit something worthwhile, not an empty runway with several dozen $$$$$ cruise missiles.

Are you going to volunteer to fly that cargo plane into NK with the MOAB?

I thought you claimed to be a former naval officer? You should know damn well that cruise missiles against runways are a waste of time and money!

Oh, wait! I forgot, you aren't a real sailor, You were kept busy flying crates of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong!

Don't tell her, tell Trump. He wasted a bunch of them on empty Syrian runways.

And that contributed to this thread about as much as dear Rex's comment...

 

[Rexx Taylor]

Hank Johnson is the embassador to Guam,,,like I mentioned in a reply,,,,well,,he used to be the embassador of all of Guam until half of it washed away

 

[Rexx Taylor]

i would call hank johnson being he is the ambassador

so when the other half of Guam goes into the abyss,,,,,where will Hank move to?

Send the 'necks out into the Glades for a week-long roundup then airdrop the Boas behind enemy lines. While they're at it, do the same with pigs in Iraq/Syria.
