Does he even have a plan, or does the think he found a weak enough country that his supporters can't really distinguish from China to bully?

The South really seems like it doesn't want to play ball. Hope we can take our ball and go home.

>South Korea is being a bad sport by not wanting to risk 10 million+ dead in a conventional war

Is this what typical American voter actually thinks?

Yes because that's the only option on the table, retard.

The US is fuck....china is behind the NK rise in nukes and their nothing the US can do but bend the knee

Trump's only plan is to take North Korea and everybody else to hell, he's a madman and he'll kill everybody.

It's probably too late for North Korea, Trump is probably about to turn them into a lake of fire. If that means destroying all of humanity, so be it.

All that matters to Trump in the end is to stand on the pile of corpses and say "I won."

This is the plan user. We the madman now.

It's not even a fucking rebuke, just clickbait. All he said is that the South's strategy of appeasement isn't working. He didn't insult them for it or anything, and it's pretty clear to every South Korean alive that it's true.

It's their problem, and they are the ones who should clean it up, though.

>All he said is that the South's strategy of appeasement isn't working.

Why say this when S. Korea stopped trying to engage the North more than 10 years ago unless Trump was just trying to find an excuse to antagonize S. Korea?

Why is Trump constantly tweeting about N. Korea if it's just S. Korea's problem? Norks are obviously rustling his jimmies.

If North Korea settles down it might buy humanity a few years of survival. But it's probably too late anyway. Trump has got his finger on the button and is itching to turn North Korea into a nuclear wasteland. Imagine the photos that we'll see, as the few North Koreans left after the blast wave roam around in radiated ash and darkness with their flesh melting off. Oh well. This is what has to happen I guess. Trump will sooner destroy the entire planet than ever concede an inch to North Korea. Look at how he runs his businesses, tons of bankruptcies and total chaos, just to come out ahead. He will permanently destroy North Korea, and then hide out in a bunker while the US is nuked. US will absorb a few nukes and then Trump will emerge to rebuild. Millions in LA and NY will perish, radioactive decay will threaten the biosphere. Trump will make billions "rebuilding." Meanwhile not a single North Korean will survive.

Trump is a complete retard. South Korea should kick the US out before they get all south Koreans killed

do you understand how allies work? SKs problems are our problems

Then why has he not done that already?

>S. Korea stopped trying to engage the North more than 10 years ago
You mean direct talks with N.? They don't do that, but their rhetoric has been that they will give concessions in return for ratcheting back the nuclear program for years. All the statements from the Korean government are like "we implore the DPRK to come and be peaceful", which is obviously not happening.

SK elected Moon to move away from the hardline THAAD installing approach of Park Geun Hye, so Moon was trying to be all peaceful korean relations but Kim Jong Un didn't even bother with that nonsense.

South Korea hates America. Fuck them.

He already set the process in motion. North Korea should have listened, now there is probably no stopping it.

I'm ok with this

He could've done it the first day

But, Moon allowed THAAD installation to go ahead, and S. Korea is preparing the site for the next tranche of THAAD equipments for enhanced capabilities.

Moon also asked for modification to U.S.-South Korea bilateral missile treaty so that S. Korea can deploy more powerful missiles aimed at N. Korean military sites.

Kids.

People said the same thing about Ronnie. It won't happen children. It won't happen. The U.S. will not launch first.

Just chill out and let history repeat. If you can elect Trump for another 4 you have decent chance of N.K. collapse by the end of his presidency.

Me too. We might as well get it over with now and go through the pain. People think Kim is a madman, and they cower in fear. If they only knew how much worse Trump is. I feel sorry for Kim in a way, his family died and he had to lead at a young age. He is going up against a true devil, and there is no chance for him. Trump has already worked out the numbers. He will give up 20 million American lives and some temporary infrastructure damage in exchange for completely destroying all of North Korea. The numbers work out, done deal.

yes because moon's initial approach has not even worked in the slightest.

so moon has just gone against north korea. trump is probably just confirming now basically to the south korean people that the norks don't want to play about.

>Insulting American voters for criticizing S. Korea
>S. Korea wouldn't be in this situation if they hadn't made their economic/business capital on the border of a country they've been at war with for 70+ years
S. Koreans have only themselves to blame for this stupidity.

actually sweatie pie

its the russians fault for annexing half of korea at the end of world war 2 for no reason.

Trump is not the past US. You are correct about the past, but must revise your opinions now. You will see. Trump will launch first. He is a numbers guy, always has been.

North Korean leadership never trusts the US. Trump plays on this, knowing North Koreans will tend to believe the opposite of what is said and will assume the worst.

The reason Trump is ambiguously deriding South Korea on Twitter is so that the North Koreans will reason as follows: "Trump wants us to believe there is a rift between him and South Korea, but we know Trump always lies, so actually what this means is that Trump and South Korea are secretly about to attack us."

What North Koreans don't understand is that the situation is far more dire. The plan to gut North Korea and partition the spoils was laid back in January. Trump authorized an operation to take care of NK's satellites (the new "space marines" division) and that operation was completed successfully last week. NK cannot control its satellites now, though it thinks it can. NK is a sitting duck at this point.

I like how Americans forget Pakistan also has nukes, and the U.S. has accepted Pakistan as nuclear power after a couple years of "strong rebuke" in the late 90s when Pakistan first tested them.

>>S. Korea wouldn't be in this situation if they hadn't made their economic/business capital on the border of a country they've been at war with for 70+ years

Seoul has been the capital of Korea for more than 600 years, retard.

The border would be farther up north had the U.S. actually given S. Korea some weapons to defend against N. Korea attack and possibly even prevent the Korean War. (See the border pre-Korean War).

Japan.

...

Pakistan agreed not to develop long-range missiles so they are no threat to the US
