I don't think "we" have a president. But the USA has a president. If I'm not mistaken you are not a citizen of the US. But I guess you may be implying we as the world. But this is just baseless fear mongering.

There won't be any pre emptive strikes. Really reminds me of history. Gen. Patton at the end of WW2 wanted to attack Russia. He pointed out we were going to fight them eventually, might as well do it while we had all our military in place and while they were at their weakest. He was removed for that.

For years during the Cold War it was pointed out that he may have been right. But when the Soviet Union eventually split in the 80's it proved him wrong.

That's what i see here. War is not inevitable, I think this is already been proved wrong. But hey, I could be mistaken. I hope not


It's not 'baseless fearmongering' when the PotUS himself is saying that he wants to perform a pre-emptive strike. This thread also does not claim that war is inevitable. Only that the threat of war is great.

Lets get them in a room and see how they act before you assume that both of them are going to turn a new leaf and be intelligent and reasonable.

When people like you are saying these talks are successful without them ever have happened, well, credibity strained.



Lol, I don't think the talks amount to bupkuss. Think you may be mistaking me for someone else.

I'm pointing out a year ago there's a claim that war is going to break out "at any minute", and It just wasn't so. Now here we are today and the OP claims, "I didn't say it was inevitable "

This thread reads like a modern day Chicken Little story.

I would never want to be accused of blindly agreeing with Scaly, BUT, hindsight is 20/20. So you can't really claim, anything like it was silly to comment that war might be breaking out.

I agree, would have been fine to say might be. Call me knit picky, but that's entirely different than going to be breaking out at any minute. And I freely admit I was concerned too. But not to the point of fear paralysis.

Yes, I teach and write in Seoul.

Overall, U.S. is very welcome here. Before Trump and Moon adminstrations, the U.S. military control was supported. Now the Moon administration is much more cautious and wants to regain control of ROK military should something happen. The people here are slightly more anxious under Trump. But overall seem to trust that he won't spark a war.

Younger generations speak about Kim Jong-eun, Trump and even Hitler in the same breath. They're jokes here. No one is freaking out. That's western fearmongering.

Oh so NOW you guys believe me.

Wrong. The claim was that war 'threatens to break out at any minute' not that it will. A distinction that makes the OP true even now.
