Yes, Comrade, we all understand that you're a screaming pacifist. But what would have him do now?
Americans held hostage!

Iraq was on the path to democracy, freedom and peace, as far as a peace could be in a sectorial culture such that it is exists.
Then Obama abandoned American sacrifice and the whole thing fell apart. I'm not sure Trump will let that happen in NK.
Of course 10 years from now when any possibility that another Democrat may be in charge, that too may very well be reversed. But Trump can only try.

Of course. That's the way it goes. Republicans make the biggest foreign policy mistakes, and then find a way to blame Democrats for it down the line.
Even your guy Trump has said it was one of the worst foreign policy blunders in recent history.

of course, what are you like 12 years old, obviously.
95% of all Americans were for going in to Iraq and verifying Sadaam didn't have WMD's, and being your age you were a toddler so you didn't count.
When you use CNN as your History teacher rather than educate yourself you miss things. Important things.
Thereby not only making you hard to talk to, but useless.
But it's nice of you to use Trump as your weather vane when it suits you.
Could you possibly be more clueless, no really?

An Iraq War cheerleader calling me clueless? Really?
You don't get a mulligan on that one. You were as wrong as you possibly could be. And the left? We were right. And that's the history of it.
where is this impotency? The nuke tests are advancing,the ballistic tests are sputtering but still advancing.
where does this go but anywhere as NK being a nuclear power?
They are shooting missiles into the ocean. Our presidents have been saying they are on the verge of attaining nuclear weapons since I can remember. They can sputter for 25 more years, if they get too close I would be okay with destroying their facilities, but they are not getting close.
In the early 90's they claimed NK was about to be a nuclear nation. Its bullshit designed to make Rump look serious.

Oh, hi
Jarod, you are so full it. Trump didn't ratchet anything up, they did with their claim of testing a nuke, which amazing after Trump talks with China and sends ships there, they don't test it.

Oh, hi
Why didn't you care about the hostages when Obama was president?
would you prefer they launched them @ Japan?
where do you get this 25 years from? Especially if Iran or Pakistan step in.

Building a nuclear weapons requires more than fissile material and a test site, though. North Korea also has been developing the ancillary technologies like a re-entry vehicle to protect the warhead as it flies through the atmosphere, and making the transition from liquid fuel to solid fuel—which makes the missiles lighter and more stable in flight. That switch also makes it harder for the international community to know when North Korea is preparing missiles, because the missiles no longer require a long liquid fueling process easily photographed by satellites.
None of this constitutes good news, and it only gets worse. For years, a key obstacle to North Korea’s ability to threaten the United States was its inability to make a warhead small enough to mount on a missile capable of traveling that far. But the country may be making progress by collaborating with friendly countries like Iran and Pakistan.
In terms of miniaturizing, I think most experts would assess that they have the capability to miniaturize a nuclear warhead to put on most of its missiles,” says Frank Aum, a former Department of Defense senior advisor on North Korea.
None of this minimizes the damage North Korea could cause by firing a nuke. It can’t hit the US, but it can hit US allies. “In a conflict scenario North Korea probably tries to hit Seoul first and then tries to hit US bases both in South Korea and Japan,” says Gomez. And that could strain US relationships with allies in the region as Washington tries to manage the situation. “I think there’s a general feeling in South Korea and Japan that we are not consulting them enough,” Wit adds. “They are the ones that are going to bear the brunt of any North Korean retaliation.”
Dr. Peter Vincent Pry is executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and is the chief of staff of the Congressional EMP Commission.
Speaking on this reporter’s talk radio program, Pry pointed to two North Korean satellites that are currently orbiting the U.S. at trajectories he says are optimized for a surprised EMP attack. “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” is broadcast on terrestrial radio on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and NewsTalk 990 AM in Philadelphia and online.

I love liberals, "If they strike innocent people with a nuclear weapon them I'm all for striking them back"
Which is exactly why we are at the current state of the Union, Dictators on the verge of the bomb, like thing1 with Iraq, you want to wait UNTIL there is mass deaths and then you act.
You could not be more Un American in policy. The reason we are the beacon on the hill is because of our sacrifice in the face of evil, NOT because of our willingness to strike if struck.
Borrow a pair of panties from Thing1, you can be Thing2 and the both of you go march in a rainbow parade
