>First, Trump has radically changed the costs of a potential conflict, for both sides.
>After Trump threatened to annihilate North Korea, however, Kim Jong-un threatened to attack … Guam. Trump doubled down, indicating that a North Korean attack on Guam would trigger an attack against the regime. That shifted the costs of a war radically in our favor and against theirs.
>Second, it is noteworthy that the North Korean threat to Guam did not refer to nuclear weapons, but rather hinted at conventional missile strikes.
>In threatening the most violent possible attack, Trump elicited a response that is significantly less threatening.
>Third, Trump diverted attention away from North Korea’s more vulnerable neighbors, South Korea and Japan. Of course the North Koreans could attack them if the U.S. launched a war. But instead of talking about the potential deaths of millions of people in densely-populated areas, the world is now talking about the qualms felt by a few people on a remote island. That makes Trump’s words look less scary, and eases pressure for the U.S. to back down.
>Fourth, the Chinese government is now indicating that it will not defend North Korea from a retaliatory strike if the regime attacks the U.S. (which includes Guam).

I would.
That would mean the last bastion of independence from israel would die.
Remember that best korea is no menace to anyone, not even degenerate korea, so the real question is, why are you getting involved? What are the stakes for your country?
I'll tell you. Same as for middle east. It's ownership. Israel can't stomach not enslaving a country in the world. It's no coincidence that every single country the US attacks is a country that doesn't recognize israel as a legitimate state.

Honestly. How can he not win? He could literally nuke every grain of sand into glass in a matter of hours.
People need to learn about science.

user, you need to unplug from the thumbed Jew.
So what does anything have to do with Israel then if it's not the Jews here?
Because they are doing it in the name of israel.

I thought Frenchfags knew about apostrophes
Stop being such a grammar fag.
Why are there multiple rounds tho?
>france
You should probably worry about your own problems first froggy.
When you want to rid your home of an infestation, you target the nest. The nest is the problem, not the stragglers around the house.
Pointless, there's no saving france, it's long long dead. You just have to admit it.
I do. And it shows that the French would rather be proactive about their virtue signaling than being proactive about their own situation.
You're a moron if you believe fighting a lost cause is being proactive.
>We need to just wipe them off the map already. Literally nobody would care.
China would care
Give me a history lesson pierre. When did france become a lost cause?
making the ultimate threat was the only play here. north koreas official position is that they need nukes to prevent american invasion. by threatening to only attack north korea if they continue developing the only weapon that can hurt america, trump is making clear that north korea will be wiped out but it will be their own fault
I don't think North Korea even wants to attack, they just want to make as many threats as possible because in the past it has always led to them being rewarded through diplomatic back channels. This pattern is readily apparent by looking at old articles that similar to the headline's we're seeing today. The threats of an attack are always followed with a cooling of tensions resulting from some undisclosed diplomatic agreement. The agreements usually involve NK recieving some form of aid in exchange for shutting the fuck up, either from China or the US.
1789, when the jews literally overthrew the governement.
>believing this hard in retarded stormfaggotery
Yes but meanwhile they keep restarting the nuclear shit. Like trump said the can has been kicked down the road long enough. Sooner or later they have to be taken out.
Hopefully the North Koreans will start to wake up
You are on Trump's hit list
Objectively superior morally, ethically and factually than any mainstream media site. The only sources better are all "fake news" like wikileaks and RT.
Very clever analysis.
It's just the right wing version of the guardian.
