Let me get this straight. It is you who gets to decide in what direction I might answer a post or in which direction the post should proceed. I get it now. My only timid reply is, stick it up your ass. I will write what and when I choose without your advice influencing my decision.

There. I hope we have that cleared up.

Dennis


Okay tough guy. Again you show your lack of reading comprehension and you also directed the unrelated response to me. I feel that I should be free to address a reply made directly to me. My timid reply is that you should feel free to take another direction while breaking off your hard-on and quickly sitting on it while you're smiling.

we're just lucky that Trump isn't an absolute dictator like Kim.

There is some interesting rumbling in Congress that may be interesting with regard to some unchecked powers.

...just chiming in on conservatives "owning" patriotism... this is a natural development of the the party paradigms... the democrats try to enlist the masses with policy and programs that benefit the individuals, at the expense of a bigger government. The Republicans try to enlist the masses with emotional appeals, because...let's be real, Republican policy always sides with less government and more power to our business community, corporations and utilities.

I have mentioned before to no avail. There is a presumption that only buyers can be less than honest. Maybe more will think about Paypal and the protection it offers to both parties.

[quote=user47602]I like to think that Trump's true meaning is that we will take a reasoned, measured response and use the combined weight of the UN to relieve NK of nuclear capability as we bring them into the fraternity of nations...

or at least slip in a midnight drone and take out Kim... regime change has always worked well.


I'd like to think a lot of things... if only my brain would cooperate![/quot

We shall see and yes, certainly some wishful thinking and I wouldn't discount a less painful solution.

..Dave, I know with Trump... you cannot really use the actual words he uses against him... because as you are implying... he doesn't really know what he's saying.

However when you say fire & fury the world has never seen, we immediately think of fire and fury the world has seen... e.g. Hiroshima & Nagasaki. If by your logic, he was implying that this fire and fury would come by conventional weapons... he would have to drop almost 2000 MOABs... and the US currently doesn't have that capability. In actuality, if you wanted to match Nagasaki's fire & fury (equivalent to 20,000# of TNT) you WOULD have to drop at least a tactical nuke on them. so:


1) Trump implied a nuclear solution if Kim threatened again.

OR

2) Trump uses the English language in a unique way and we really don't know what he means until his legion of Trumpsplainers and Trumpologists parse his communications and provide interpretation to frame it as a reasonable statement, or faux pas or goof very similar to ones other real presidents have made in the past.


personally I'm inclined to think somehow both are true, but we won't really know until the situation has been trumpsplained in Conway-english.


although, Kelly called his message strong and obvious!

I hope I am right and we'll see if Trump's rhetoric is abstract. I really think Trump & Co is smarter then what he appears. Got to admit that any response by Kelly is less than useful.

If you remember, the article said we used 800 sorties a day in Iraq, and it would take more in NK.

Do you remember 8,000 guns destroying SK Capital--within a couple of hours--while we do the 800 or more sorties?

And we already know about fighting NK troops on the ground, don't we?


Your responses do not discredit me and it shows that you choose to extrapolate what might be viable information regarding our capabilities without nuke options. You really don't believe troops on the ground will not be necessary, do you? If fact, I think your reference even stated that.

My point, again, has nothing to do with the theoretical postulates of available sources and conducting a war or how stupid some think NK is. It is solely my belief that a nuke response is highly unlikely. BTW, hopefully you don't really believe a word regarding our actual capabilities. Further, I like to think that this is Trump's true meaning.

Here, allow me to broaden yours. My wife's health insurance premium is going up 80% next year. Please tell me what Trump did to make that happen.

Yes you have a shameful situation and I am sorry to hear about it.

That does not lessen your need to seek out and examine more information. One of the things that you'll find is your costs will be dramatically increase if O-care disappears. Find out what the heck the industry is saying and others in responsible position. Go nuts and check what the Kaiser Family Foundation research indicates. I realize that any who disagree with you is a no good Lib and you have all the answers. Hope all works out for you.

Troll much? There are no Trump or republican actions on health care and it is increasing due to the very nature of OBAMA care, like we knew it would. Take your Kool Aid over to Daves house, he's into that these days.


You really need to broaden your knowledge. Good luck with that, LOL! Also, stop gulping and slowly sip.

Thank you. I should have minded my own business when ruwohe posed the brand question and I noticed that you were offline and provided an answer from the pic you posted. I gave my D7000 to a sister and my wife took over my D7100 because I refused to get rid of it. I have the grips for both of my cameras, so I'm good!

All is good. I doubt any of us will change our mind from our current practices. I'm betting that many of us rarely by more than one a year and some less than that.

In reality Trump said nothing about a nuclear response, NOTHING. He did say there would be a response. In reality why do Liberals seem to put the onus on President Trump rather than on Kim Jung Un? Why make Trump out as the bad guy? From my position Trump has only answered a little piss ant leader with common sense warnings that if this little i***t decides to shoot a missile at America or any of our friend countries there would be consequences. Oh if only Clinton, Obama and maybe Bush would have said the same thing. For years this has been going on and it has been acceptable, maybe because there has not actually been a perceived threat to America. But now there is a threat and the leader of North Korea seems dumb enough to actually fire a missile at us. If a missile was fired that actually came our way you would be the first ones condemning Trump for not doing something. But for now it is enough you keep up with your pussified horse s**t attitudes that it is Trump that is crazy and Little Kimmy is the sane one. Get a grip there guys and gals. I think you should stop thinking about your hatred for Trump and put it more into your love of America. So far Trump has simply answered threats with a positive attitude toward America and our allies.

Thank you for making my point that many around the world "assume" Trump was talking nuclear!

It is too bad that you had to initiate another politically motivated rant. That's not what this thread was about.

Sorry, incorrect on that, and even nukes won't do it.

Diplomacy might, or buying them off (same thing, I guess).

You haven't read the article, have you?

As the subhead reads, 'there are no good options, but some are worse than others.'

Please, read the article.


I feel that the subhead is understood and is not at all pertinent to my opinion regarding specific weapons.

I have read the article and it did not address the use of conventional weapons as opposed to nuclear. It did point out that even a nuclear response would not render NK unable to proceed in some fashion. We know that nuclear weapons can inflict greater damage and more quickly, but the majority of our assault will be conventional and include troops on the ground. I just don't see us throwing nukes around and the world suffering the after effects.

To say my views are incorrect could be plausible. Your reference, while seemingly factual is not the sole authority on which weapons would be implemented. Assuming our nuke use is eminent is a premature conclusion in my opinion. We can also assume the the so called battle plans have been in existence for many years and have been continually revised.

NK is certainly aware of what can happen and is quite calculated, as we are, and the behavior displayed by both is not a big surprise to many from what I can ascertain.
