Please tell me we'll all be safe

Edit: GODDAMMIT


Depends, are you South Korean or maybe Japanese?

(In which case the answer is still "probably")

No, but I am worried that China or Russia will condemn the strike, possibly leading to a war with either one of the two

What possible strategic benefit is there to Trump preemptively striking North Korea? Assuming that he is in the pocket of Russia, and sees himself as being BFF with China after the chocolate cake accords, wouldn't a strike work counter to those interests? Russia and China would almost certainly condemn it. I mean, is this a case of Putin trying to mousetrap Trump, or what?

Trump is crazy. That's all there is to it

The serious answer is this should have been dealt with in the mid-90's and now everyone is pretty well hosed.

There's a narrow and precarious path to a peaceful resolution, but odds are not in Seoul's favor.

I'm sorry for my outburst about nuclear weapons earlier; it's just that I'm worried about the chain reaction a strike on them could cause, such as a war with China, or Russia (since they're trying to improve relationships with North Korea).

Good thing someone's here to protect donald trump's child as he tries to cut literally trillions of dollars from every service that helps children that exists, which would inevitably result in the deaths of countless children.

I guess I could have just said "I hope that the things Trump is trying to do to other people happens to him and his family instead"

Seriously gently caress Trump and everyone related to him by choice or by blood, I hope every bad thing they want for other people happens to them instead. It won't, so don't worry, you don't have to valiantly defend them. He'll grow up fabulously wealthy on the backs of you and everyone else, even though someone made a mean post on the internet!

People are taking it seriously. We've seen more and more people become involved in politics ever since the election, and as others stated, the Trump base is shrinking

"Recover" in what sense? Do you think this is going to somehow cripple the U.S. diplomatically, in a way that Trump's other bad decisions won't?

It shows that the U.S. can't be trusted as a leader anymore, and pretty much isolates us from the rest of the world.

Plus, with China urging the U.S. to stay in, what will happen when we go to war with North Korea? I'd believe that South Korea and Japan would be hesitant to help, let alone China

Be it here, /int/, /pol/ neogaf, bodybuilding.com, mmo-c, like anywhere is going to have hostile shitbags on one side of the isle or both. It's just do you want your hostile shitbags to be red, blue or somewhere in the middle.
