Sure, i guess the best solution is to clean up all NK positions in the shortest time possible, right now, while praying they wont have time to fire their ICBMS.
In the same time praying (again) they didnt planned some kind of evil "plan B", like a plot on the US soil (nor anywhere else...aka SK), using VX gas as example.

But theres a problem: a 6-10 trillions minerals resources cake.

and BAM

Dey got the best dirt.

Jk, thats neat tho.

We can haz NK's dirt, all because Kim Jong Un is an idiot.

Any new thoughts on the NK stuff? I wonder why NK constantly points the finger at the USA while the sanctions were approved by many countries. Maybe its just the egotistical alpha monkey brain talking but I really hate to listen to them talk so much shit when they are so weak. I wanna put them in their place but at the same time my rational side knows the best thing to do is to stay calm. If they would just stop shooting missiles they could stop the sanctions.

That's one hundred percent true.
It's looking like N Korea has a different agenda than their publicly declaimed one. Maybe NK is doing all this posturing at the behest of China.

As you said, the US's best move now is to let NK show it's true colors. I'm sure we have CIA and NSA etc., all over the area, trying to find out exactly what is really going on.
It's pretty obvious that if Kim Jong is not totally insane, he can't possibly expect the US to back down in fear. Ergo, there must be something else going on.

NK teach the kids that their rivalry with the US is like HP and Voldemort - never one can live while the other survives. The Kim regime will hate the US unconditionally.

Like I said...it doesn't make much sense in a ....survival kind of way. NK is the size (geographic) of Ohio. Pyongyang is only 25-30 miles from the west coast of NK.
The US has the most powerful navy on the planet. Doesn't seem like a smart move on NK's part.

I'm guessing there must be a hidden agenda.

All I have come up with so far is that he WAS trying to get the US to move on Pyongyang in a land attack, then get repelled and be forced to get nasty...possibly nuclear. This would put most of the rest of the civilized world against the US, and might just cause Russia and China to side with NK.

In other words...he could be trying to destroy the US, but with politics rather than with his iffy nukes. In this he could very well be acting at the behest of China, let's say.

that very well could be but I think China has stood up to them and told them to back down at this point. Things are getting really tense in that whole region.

Yeah, I'm just wild guessing here, but the Chinese if anything, are inscrutable. Chinese Chess makes normal Chess look like a kiddies game.

I just get the gut feeling that there's something more going on, than there appears to be. NK can't be that stupid. I don't think Kim Jong can be that stupid.

Listen to kim; he said US will pay the price of new sanctions "thousands of times"
That's much, not sure he was talking about money specifically 🙂
