Proving the enemy correct, while threatening to kill 25 million civilians. That doesn't look good for Trump at all.

I presume that speech was one he wrote himself.

Didn't you used to be a Trump fanboy?

Equally.  Mmm...

Clinton would be pursuing the same foreign policy at Trump, minus some colourful language. He's just continuing the warmongering agenda of the previous few presidents, or rather the powerful interests behind the presidents.

Clinton would be an horrendous president and yet significantly better than Trump.

What would you do if North Korea launched a first attack on Japan, South Korea, or the US?

What do you think US policy has been for the past 20 years?

There's no option but a devastating response. 

I would personally like to shift responsibility for defense of Asian democracies to those countries, but as long as we are involved a massive strike will be what we have to do. The argument for US involvement is that the Asian countries are much more likely to see a war if the US withdrew.

On a purely selfish account and not pertaining to know much about the subject, particularly NK nuclear capability. Does the fat one have the range to hit Scotland with one of his bombs?

The bad news is yes.  The good news is no further north than Glasgow.

If NK attacked someone first then they'd be inviting deserved destruction upon themselves, but there's no reason or evidence to suspect they want to do this.  It's ludicrous to suggest there's no other option than the complete destruction of a nation. North Korea has stated repeatedly that they are open to negotiating their nuclear ambitions if the US and the South quit their military games. This is a miniscule concession when the alternative is the almost guaranteed death of hundreds of thousands of people.

When Trump etc says talking has failed, they mean demanding on their own terms has failed.  We are in a scenario where the US would rather start a devastating war than be shown to be open to compromise.
