General so much for not drawing any red lines...

Well I don't know.
How do you feel about Trump saying he's gonna have Mexico build a wall?
Or implement a travel ban?
Did that happen?
I've seen a couple of your threads that outlines those examples in detail.
Regarding Obama and rhetoric, didn't he say he wouldn't put boots on the ground more than once?
Or close Guantanimo, or withdraw all forces umpteenth?
Are boots on the ground limited to special forces, CIA and black ops?
Obviously we hope this shit doesn't go down, but Trump never declared he was gonna create a no-fly zone in Syria, which is about the stupidest fucking thing you can say.
I lived in South Korea and learned enough about North Korea to wish the ruling junta a severe ass-kicking or regime change a la shock and awe....
This said... I have no doubt the Kims wouldnt give a shit about destroying as many lives as possible if they saw the end coming.
I really wonder what the contingency plans are in the Pentagon-White House, in Seoul, Tokyo and Beijing, if North Korea escalates everything?
If Trump is really willing to throw down (and not just posturing like all other previous presidents), Im pretty sure they must have had talks with all the other capitals that will be affected.
Will Beijing finally say f.y to the the Kims and good luck we've had enough of your bs expect no support from us? I doubt it, NK is still useful as a buffer but I wouldnt be surprised if they were working hard along with the US to tell NK to calm down.
Tokyo will probably wish for appeasement but will support any action from Washington if it comes down to it (logistical support mostly is my guess)
Seoul is probably telling the US to calm the f. down too because, well, they're f. first line, casualties will be enormous, yet want all the help they can get especially with those anti-missile systems the US is provinding.
I'd love to be a fly on a wall during those meetings.

Well, that started with Clinton if I recall correctly. I lost track of how many times there was posturing from both sides, deals were made for fuel and food instead of sanctions if they continued 'researching for nuclear energy'.
Now here we are...
I wonder if that's what's gonna happen with Iran. Energy...
and then some years later *surprise* we got nukes! We got ya didnt we?
the only way I see this being productive is if we scare china enough with the possibility of nuclear attacks that they make some sort of between us, them, and nk.
Maybe a guarantee we won't invade, or regime change, a guarantee if we do China will protect them, and a guarantee nk does not have missilized nuclear weapons.
I just don't see that being possible. A nuclear nk is a reality, and we need to find a way to deal with that that doesn't involve starting a nuclear war.
Too much chest thumping going on for my liking. The "do what I say or else" strategy may be a feel good strategy, but i don't think it is a successful one here.
Maybe when Seoul and Pyongyang are ashes and millions dead we can pat ourselves on the back and tell each other what bad asses we are, we don't take no shit!!

With Korea, not that I can remember off the top of my head. In other instances, yes. He actually coined the "Red line" phrase as it pertains to military threats:
Out of curiosity. Is there any reason everyone's pretending that South Korea hasn't been preparing for this for the past 50 years?
just in case anyone else brings it up - there is no comparison between obama's comments about syria and trump's comments about north korea.
not even remotely similar. i wont bother to parse out every word, the people that get it get it, the people that dont are clearly invested in not understanding.

Obama said "Don't do that or else."
Trump said "Don't do that or else."
I get that you don't like Trump, but it's the same thing.
Grandiosity
You serious?
every once in a while i click on "show ignored content" and you idiots never disappoint.
yeah those two situations are exactly the same, great insight you have there.
no that was sarcasm you braindead stalker but im not surprised you didnt get it.
What a surprise, right to name calling.
"Can anyone ever think of?"
Yes, actually right here.
"No, that's different."
Actually, they're both military threats.
"You're an idiot."
Sweet counter point, bro.
You should focus more on your name calling. It really shows off your intellectual superiority.
those who know,know
you are a weird guy. you cry a river when no one replys to your threads right away but you block everyone who replys to your threads and call them stalkers.i am not familiar with this troll angle
He is a different kind of cunt. Definitely 12.
right, because that never happened but you trolls decided it did. fake news i guess - there were many replies before i responded to that thread, my reply was sarcastic and mocking them.
the fact that you remember it so clearly is a good indication of how invested you are in trolling me. lol
go go meme girls!
