    Real presidents don't start wars without a good reason.
    We didn't attack the USSR or China when they got nukes. We didn't attack Pakistan when they got nukes. We didn't attack the Vatican when they got nukes.
    It would be very very stupid to attack North Korea because they've got nukes.
    Hopefully we'll have a real president before that happens.

    It is not who's got nukes, it's who is threatening to nuke us.
    We were prepared to attack the Soviet Union when they threatened us with nukes, and they wisely turned tail and ran. China and Pakistan have yet to threaten us. Iran and Nkor have openly threatened to destroy our country.

    Trump has threatened to destroy North Korea. Is that adequate justification for Kim nuking us?

    A dog in a cage at the pound might bark a lot, but it isn't going to bite you unless you stick your arm in there.

    You're defending Kim?

    I'm not surprised.

    Defending? I'm just saying it is not necessary to nuke him.

    Not because I want to keep him alive, but because I'd prefer not to kill millions of other people.

    No, you misunderstood. Maris said we had to nuke NK because he threatened us. I said, well, Trump threatened NK, so wouldn't that then mean that NK has to nuke us?

    The point being: threats are not sufficient justification for firing nukes.

    Interesting side note: the last (only) time nuclear weapons have been used, it was (among other things) used to mitigate the casualties, both military and civilian, that would be incurred with the invasion of the Home Islands of Japan, a country where a populace with little interaction with the outside world who believed that their leader was a deity and that they had a required fanatical response to fight and die for their homeland. (As opposed to a populace with little interaction with the outside world who believes their leader is a god and who have been inculcated with a fanatical response to fight and die for their Dear Leader).

    The side note: In preparation, the military commissioned a million Purple Heart medals to be ready to give to the casualties involved in the invasion attempts. Since there are still over 100k left after all the fighting since WWII, they are still being issued today.

    We did send them Amare Stoudemire- and so far it seems more or less OK. Anyway, I believe Israel is pretty US friendly if only for Aulcie Perry.

    People wonder why Asian companies are moving to the west....it's not because we're so great, it's because we're further from N Korean nukes
