Ambassador Haley upping the tough talk
U.S. Ambassador Haley: U.N. has exhausted options on North Korea
"
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said on Sunday the U.N. Security Council has run out of options on containing North Korea's nuclear program and the United States may have to turn the matter over to the Pentagon."

I gotta give Kim credit for playing the role of super villain so well, this is a beautifully set up shot that totally reinforces the narrative.
Why don't we just ignore them all, bring our troops home, close Guam and mind our own business? Not only would it save trillions and make our day to day lives much better (imagine: lower taxes and better infrastructure, benefits) but there would be less of a reason for anyone to attack us if we aren't up their bunghole.
If North Korea's neighbors are concerned then let them figure it out. It's not like their economies are any worse than ours and they certainly have the technologies. I'm all for South Korea soldiers dying rather than Americans.

It looks like everybody was kung-fu fighting. Those guys were fast as lightning. It was just a little bit frightening. They all had expert timing!I just saw this video
Interesting training techniques.
I can only conclude from that video that the North Koreans have shitty masonry products, and their buildings won't hold up well once the bombs begin to fall.

I agree with you, but its like asking ancient Rome to give up its empire and mind its own business. We shouldn't be in Syria right now nor should we have overthrown Libya, Tunisia, and Egypt. These wars are driven by Wall st and defense contractors. Big money. Imagine if half the defense budget was poured into the economy. In a few years this place would be boom'in

Those martial arts skills aren't going to help them if they run into an Apache, Outside of being traditional Its really a waste of time. They are not going to be hand to hand fighting a whole hell of lot. Poor leadership, those guys could be working on other skills that may save their life.

Its the same reason elementary schools have an unarmed middle aged woman deciding who can and can't enter the school - security theater. Anyone with half a brain knows its ineffective at best, but for a whole bunch of rubes, its a flashy distraction to keep them from noticing how woefully unprepared they are.

Trump referred to Kim today again as rocket man and said to the UN assembly that "Rocket man is on a suicide mission." Rocket Man is one of the best nicknames he has come up with.

I think Trump made his point at the UN. Time for China to cut NK off or deal with what is coming. When Trump said the military is locked and loaded last month it appears few of you understand the meaning. I think Trump has stated his course and rightly so. The question is will other nations that have economic power over NK do anything. I would give Trump an AAA rating for his effort to defuse this matter. If any of you think
Trump is going to allow NK to build up their weapons program, I think you are badly mistaken. Kim in my opinion is a loony who should not even have a bb gun. Trump would do a disservice to the people if he took no action to disarm NK. I would wager we are at Defcon 2 at this point.

N. Korea says Trump threat is 'sound of dog barking'
(2nd LD) N. Korea says Trump threat is 'sound of dog barking'
NEW YORK, Sept. 20 (Yonhap) -- North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho slammed U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday, saying his threat to destroy the nation amounted to "the sound of a dog barking."
Ri arrived in New York earlier in the day to attend the U.N. General Assembly.
Speaking to reporters in front of his hotel, he issued the regime's first response to Trump's threat a day earlier to "totally destroy" North Korea if it poses a direct threat to the U.S. or its allies.
"If he was thinking he could scare us with the sound of a dog barking, that's really a dog dream," Ri said, referencing a North Korean proverb that a procession moves even if dogs bark. In Korean, a dog dream is one that is absurd and makes little sense.
Asked to comment on "Rocket Man," Trump's new nickname for North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, he said, "I feel sorry for his aides."

I defy anybody to name a single country that talks better smack than NK. Look at this, it's fantastic:
Kim Jong-un calls President Trump 'deranged' | Daily Mail Online
As for Trump it looks like whatever he's doing has finally encouraged China toward something real. I expect no congratulations from the talking heads on the left, but China's central bank is putting the screws to some financial deals with NK. Did Obama get China to do that? Did Bush? There may be a method to Trump's madness. It's possible that China really does, finally, believe the US will attack NK, and they don't want that on their doorstep. I'm sure CNN's narrative is that this is a result of NK's missile tests and nuke tests but surely some is because Trump is taking this seriously.

If it isn't already completely obvious that Trump is neither predictable nor politics as usual, it should be now.
And.... Wait for it....
The newest threat of the day/week,
Is that NK may test a hydrogen bomb (maybe on a missile) in the Pacific ocean.
Trump responds after North Korea threatens hydrogen bomb test
As insane as that sounds they might do it. There always seems to be "leaks" of impending missile tests or nuke tests that actually end up happening.

Yay! What then?

I wonder if NK launching a nuke tipped ICBM into the Pacific would finially prompt us to shoot it down?
We wouldn't know it has a warhead in it until it detonated...
That's what makes some of his current launches so un merging for Japan, you don't know it the missiles are armed or not

Of course but Kim's been pretty reliable in following through. Considering the most recent threat, I'd say we should consider any new missile launch to be an armed launch.
