Question. Why do we acknowledge a regime who contributes next to nothing culturally, industrially, or intellectually to the rest of the world. When they want to act like a sovereign country we can treat then like one. Until then they can sit in the corner and howel till they lose their voice.

That is a good question.

I think it's news in America (pre-nuclear stage) because we basically lost a war there. I have relatives who fought in Korea and talk about the war on occasion.

 

I don't think the DPRK was news in most other areas of the world until they started detonating nukes. Before that, they were basically just a pawn in the China/USA battles.

Peace with North Korea is a "possibility", America's most senior uniformed officer said Thursday, but warned the US has "credible, viable military options" for dealing with the errant regime.

General Joe Dunford, the chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, also told reporters during his visit to Beijing that the US has no plans to "dial back" military exercises with South Korea, which have angered both China and North Korea.

Dunford made the remarks on the last day of a trip to China that included a visit on Wednesday to a northern military zone near China's border with North Korea.

"What's unimaginable to me is not a military option," Dunford told reporters before a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"What is unimaginable is allowing (North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un) to develop ballistic missiles with a nuclear warhead that can threaten the United States and continue to threaten the region."

The NK problem has been stewing and passed on for so long, and now that things are at a critical mass, it falls into the lap of the person least capable of handling this correctly.  Perhaps that's why things are ratcheting up.  Either way, this is not good news.

North Korea's launch of a missile over Japan was a prelude to more military operations directed at the American territory of Guam, North Korean state media warned Wednesday.

 

I'm not sure what the right move is next, but after the 'fire and fury' comments and now this, we have pretty much backed ourselves up into a corner where we have to act now.

Getting closer to that war.

THE US staged its own terrifying show of strength today by dropping huge bombs near the North Korean border  - days after Kim Jong-un's latest missile outrage.

Four US F-35B fighter jets joined two nuclear-ready US B-1B bombers and four South Korean F-15 fighter jets in the joint military operation over the troubled Korean Peninsula.

The rogue state described the drills - which saw target bombing close to its border - as the "rash act" of a desperate nation

Well the stakes got higher over the weekend.  NK testing a H bomb.  Trump saying "We'll see" to the question of us attacking NK, and UN Ambassador basically drawing a line in the sand - saying enough is enough - that NK is 'begging for war'.     Former Ambassador Bill Richardson said Kim isn't suicidal but unpredictable.

North Korea's claims to have tested a hydrogen bomb over the weekend show they are actively defying both the United States and China, and they are not backing down from their efforts to upgrade their nuclear capabilities, but leader Kim Jong Un is not suicidal, former ambassador Bill Richardson said Monday.

"It's provocative and very serious," Richardson, also a former governor of New Mexico, told MSNBC. "I think Secretary [James] Mattis was right in his very strong response. We can't tolerate this."

Richardson said Mattis "offered a little bit of an olive branch" with his comments, in particular the United States is "'not looking to the total annihilation of a country — namely, North Korea.'" Further, the former ambassador said he is impressed in how the Trump administration's national security team is being strong, but showing restraint.

He also commended the team for sending openings to Kim that leave room for him to return to the negotiating table.

"I don't think that Kim Jong Un is suicidal," Richardson said. "He may be unpredictable. I don't even think he's irrational. I think there's an end game, and we need to find out what his endgame is."

Meanwhile, he criticized President Donald Trump for his weekend tweet admonishing South Korea for its "talk of appeasement" with North Korea.

"We've got to be careful," Richardson said. "We can't be poking South Korea. They're our main ally in threatening the end of the free-trade agreement. I think we need to be united."

China, however, has leverage in the matter, said the former ambassador, "as 83 percent of all North Korean trade comes through China."

North Korea has fired a ballistic missile over northern Japan for the second time in less than a month, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Friday.

The unidentified ballistic missile was launched from the district of Sunan in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, home to the country's main airport, the South Korean military said.
The missile flew about 3,700 kilometers (2,300 miles) and reached an altitude of 770 kilometers (480) miles. It landed in the Pacific Ocean, South Korea said.

 

Kim Jong Un at it again.  Another missle over Japan into the pacific ocean.

Rand Paul's out of the box solution:

The president has admirably tried to push them towards helping us," but Paul proposed this to Tucker: "North Korea gives up all of their nuclear weapons.

"Dismantle them all and goes basically dormant, if not to a point where they cannot make them.

"In exchange, we say we're going to invite 10,000 Chinese troops to be part of an international force at the DMZ to ensure that South Korea doesn't invade or that the U.S. doesn't invade," Paul continued.

 

 

"China's been hesitant and hasn't really done enough.

"The president has admirably tried to push them towards helping us," but Paul proposed this to Tucker: "North Korea gives up all of their nuclear weapons.

"Dismantle them all and goes basically dormant, if not to a point where they cannot make them.

"In exchange, we say we're going to invite 10,000 Chinese troops to be part of an international force at the DMZ to ensure that South Korea doesn't invade or that the U.S. doesn't invade," Paul continued.

"They don't trust us."

He noted that when Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi gave up his nuclear weapons in 2003, "what ended up happening was we toppled him anyway.

"Toppling Gaddafi was one of the worst things we could do for rogue nations because now none of them trust us."

Trump is pulling no punches at the UN in regards to NK. 

Quote: We may have to totally destroy NK.

 

http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/trump-united-nations-speech/2017/09/19/id/814408/

President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that the United States will be forced to "totally destroy" North Korea unless Pyongyang backs down from its nuclear challenge, mocking North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a "rocket man" on a suicide mission.

Loud murmurs filled the green-marbled U.N. General Assembly hall when Trump issued his sternest warning yet to North Korea, whose ballistic missile launches and nuclear tests have rattled the globe.

Unless North Korea backs down, he said, "We will have no choice than to totally destroy North Korea."

"Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime," he said.

He urged United Nations member states to work together to isolate the Kim government until it ceases its "hostile" behavior.

A junior North Korean diplomat remained in the delegation's front-row seat for Trump's speech, the North Korean U.N. mission said.
