They about to try and talk with them to avoid a huge disaster

Things are heating up.

Things could get....nasty.

Situation seems to be a cacophony
Another prowess of Trump administration

Apparently China has been marching it's army around. I wonder who they are doing that.....for?

And for once, we are on the same page my friend.

Yeah, people like feeling warm inside so they can sleep at night thinking THAAD will protect us. It really won't. We have THAAD, Patriot PAC-3, etc. To me, this is the armor vs weapon argument. Weapons typically advance much quicker than defense and are a step ahead.

I just don't have faith that THAAD would be able to stop a multiple ICBM attack. I think it's irrational to believe that we'll just flood the sky with missiles, stopping all ICBMs in the pacific ocean.

Most experts I hear on television say we can't effectively shoot down ICBM's.

We don't need to, We can take a hit, lose some people, then obliterate their entire country with a single sub.
