Only advice he takes is his own + he is to busy golfing to listen to any ideas not specifically designed to make him look good..
 
In sheer rhetoric, Trump is the most bellicose President we have had in modern times.
Why do you give him a pass?
there are times to be "bellicose"". North Korea is a good ex.
One reason China is going forward with extraordinary sanctions is because Trump demands it with his bellicosity..

Look at what the Obama adm officials are still saying "we have to live with nuclear NK"
So without Trumps words we'd just settle into the well worn path of doing not much.
That's not acceptable if you consider NK an existential threat

not acceptable to you?? How many others are you willing to have die??

It is only the Obama admin??? lol how bout most of the world...

In the end the dirty will surrender & nk will be in the club & that will be that........ COntrary to all of his chest pounding he can't do a damn thing about it, he knows it, you know, we all know impotent manos pequeñas will acquiesce & declare personal (s/hallow) victory & start another bogus controversy via tweet to distract & entertain his loyal serfs..

an existential threat by it's definition is not an acceptable situation.
No we don't know how it will end-who would have thought China prohibited all banks from dealing with NK?
That was done by pure jawboning.

Sorry. the days of standing around with "strategic patience" ( Obama's policy) are done-
no matter what Susan Rice still preaches

Ok, I don't think trumpf is gonna do a damn thing militarily & the end result will be as I said, nk has the bomb, like russia, wakistan etc.....

IMHO it is wishful thinking to believe they will stop their quest..

give the sanctions a chance,,yes it'smuch simpler to just let NK have nukes -but then what?
Our ABM systems are 50-50 at best

How much longer??

Waiting is all we can do...... Wait for sanctions (if they work or not), wait till they are capable of hitting Seattle, wait till they can hit Chicago, DC, Miami etc..

well we have to see if warhead miniaturization is for real.
Then you gotta look at the ballistic missile -can it survive re-entry?
Their guidance system is old -but nukes are like horseshoes - close to the target is good enough
