RE: Trump wants to strike North Korea
I don't think he really wants to attack them. But I think he wants to negotiate with that on the table. And while KJU may be too crazy to understand the implications, he has an inner circle that will include at least a few somewhat sane ones.

I actually think it's the same thing on both fronts.
Both leaders would actually attack each other if it wasn't for an inner circle of sane people that know it's a bad idea.
I honestly think Trump would have already made a strike if his generals were not begging him not to.

What if the false alarm in Hawaii just a dry run to see how quickly people can respond so that they can determine casualties in the event that the United States attacks North Korea.
I know it sounds crazy but if it happens, you heard it here first.
That sounds so crazy it had to originate from Alex Jones.
The person in Hawaii who was re-assigned from his job got reprimanded for no reason.
I could see Trump striking North Korea perhaps, but not before the Olympics for sure. And if things go over well next month, it would probably require another North Korea missile test first.

RE: Trump wants to strike North Korea
I think Trump is less likely actually to strike North Korea than Obama or Hillary would have been. He understands that if you have it very visibly on the table beforehand, you are less likely to have to use it. The Neville Chamberlain approach brought about WWII. Ignoring Saddam’s cease-fire violations after the first Gulf War is how we ended up back in Iraq.

I said it was a conspiracy theory.
Some conspiracy theories however have come true.
So, you actually think the Hawaii missile mistake was actually planned? I guess I've heard it all.
So 9/11 being an inside job...or Sandy Hook using child actors and a hoax, etc., those sailed by...but just NOW you've heard it all?
Expression of speech. All those you mentioned are nonsense as well. Carry on...

I completely agree.....
there are still 'squeeze' tactics on the table.....sanctioning china comes to mind....
we're finally back in control of the USD......too many don't understand the power in negotiation in relative terms....too many simply listen to the rhetoric and go full blown sheeple.....
it's always been about forcing china to get up off their arse.....

Of course it's crazy. That's why I said it was a "conspiracy theory" .

I'd like to think we have contingency plans for most possible actions in most world hot spots.

Without a doubt. I honestly did hear a story from somewhere that generals were urging Trump to exhaust all diplomatic options however in an effort to dissuade him from doing what he wants to do which is do a surgical strike.

To be fair, I am glad this president is actually listening to his generals.

Trump haters have been wrong about so, so many things but this one, THIS ONE, will be the one to prove all us TrumpKKKer's wrong.
Protip: Trump isn’t crazy, he drives you crazy
What about the time you guys floated the idea that a military operation was actually a plan to put Texas under martial law?
Did you forget that one?
The truth of the matter is that many in this forum posted threads about Obama being not born in this country.
Killing his grandmother
Being secretly gay
on and on and on and you and others said nothing.
Now the shoe is on the other foot and suddenly I'm a troll and this is all so ridiculous.
Oh the hypocrisy.
So I was curious and did a search for "Jade Helm" in the SPIN ROOM....
While I'm not about to read through all 19 threads that came up to determine each individuals acceptance of the conspiracy, I did find it enlightening that you started 37% of them...
Yes that is correct.
I did it not because I supported the theory or thought that it was real in any way but simply to show others how far off the deep end conservatives had gone to show how much they hated Obama.
I'm glad you did that because conservatives have a short memory. They went ballistic over Obama not being born in this country, killing his grandmother, cheating in college, being born in Kenya, being gay, having a Muslim ring, doing a terrorist fist pump. etc. etc.
But now Trump is president and suddenly the left is out of their mind.
It's ******* hilarious .

I don't have hatred for anyone. I just don't think he is presidential.
Even you would agree with me on that.

You hate cops and white people. So right off the bat you've already lied.
If you'd lie about that, what else will you lie about?
