Funny how NK was saying how they are going to have a missile that will hit the USA mainland. Now they are like "So yeah we gonna bomb Guam" Gotta be the best example of Small man syndrome.

NK has been pushing the limits for a while and haven't been held accountable. Trump will be called the bad guy regardless of the way it goes. Unfortunately, previous administrations weren't firm enough and this is the result. I think NK has a lot to lose if they push too far. It's a bad situation either way and let's hope none of our troops or people are lost if things kick off - let's hope it never gets to that point. I'd hate to be in Trump's shoes right now.

"Residents of Guam have been issued with advice on what to do if North Korea launches an attack."
The guidance includes taking cover quickly in a concrete structure, preferably underground.
The factsheet, issued by Guam's Office of Civil Defence and titled Preparing for an Imminent Missile Threat, advises people not to look at the flash of a fireball because it could cause blindness.
It also includes guidance on removing radioactive material, saying: "When possible, take a shower with lots of soap and water to help remove radioactive contamination.
But don't scratch or scrub skin and do not use conditioner in your hair because it will bind radioactive material to your hair.

The only 2 countries in the world that their banking system not own by the Rothchild's family, you guess it North Korea and Russia.

That's the reason why the Rothchild's have problems with them and send in the USA to hit them. Everything happen for a reason and this reason happens to be Money and Greed.

Don't take my word for it but just Google it and find the info online.

Actually, there is a group called BRICS and it includes more countries than N. Korea and Russia.

Yet the nuclear escalation has nothing to do with this. N. Korea has considered themselves at war with the USA since the early 1950s. They want to destroy the USA. Guam has some key assets. B1s, B2s, B52s, F22s and F16s. They would have to be scrambled immediately on detection of a launch.

The politicos are saying military options are "locked and loaded". That is bad rhetoric. That tells me each and every one of those planes have pay loads and are ready to go.

Somebody somewhere needs to turn it down. Maybe China needs to step in.

Hope it doesn't come to that.

China will be the biggest loser.

China risks having a nuclear war on their doorstep. All the US is waiting for is Kim to do one more stupid thing and favourable prevailing winds able to blow the radioactive fallout towards mainland China.

Don't forget China created NK and installed the Kim regime, but they seem to have no control over this current nut job Kim Jong-un.

I think you will find china has much more control over nk than many realise.

China will not stand by and watch America affect a regime change on its doorstep.

I don't believe America will sit on it's hands while NK builds a full on nuclear arsenal.
If they're going to have a war the time is now, actually the time was a year or so ago but now is better than in 5 Years time. Talk & sanctions hasn't worked.

In an ideal world I'd love to see a peaceful resolution where the common peeps in NK actually got a decent feed and a future. Capitalist or communist doesn't matter - just give them a chance.

The biggest victim potenially here are south Korea and the brain washed innocent public of north Korea. If anything happens we shouldn't be worried about our well being in Australia, America etc. If Kim jong small dick launches anything, north Korea will be turned into a huge pile of ashes, obliterated by nuclear strikes. Literally it would be all over in 15-30 mins I reckon by plane or silo, with trump labeled as a mass murderer, I just hope that everyone will be able to digest the reality of the situation if **** goes down, I'd love to switch on the tv and not have to listen to the north Korea vs America bull**** anymore, because Kim can brag all about his countries potenial nuclear missiles they have, when america has thousands............

Most of the real damage is going to come from the massed NK artillery unless the US has that spotted already with Tomahawks/drones, etc.

Should be a very short war either way. SK and NK populations will be the big losers.
A friend in SK (who has multiple friends in the US military based there) once told me a story that there is a plan in place to wipe NK off the face of the earth if needed.

Timed to take all of 34 minutes.

As far as the 1953 armistice goes, representatives from China, North Korea and the UN signed it. South Korea didn't.

I noticed how this has died in the **** in the last week apart from the fat boy throwing threats our way.

I'm not sure what is to be gained from publicly declaring our support for the US in a war that hasn't even started

It seems the US domestic issues have overshadowed the whole NK problem for the most part.

NO WAR. If they vote for war, they will be be out of a job in 2018 and they KNOW it.

BTW I was a hired gun for the IDF.

I'm sure the nutter Kim is playing the Gold futures, when he fires a missile the price spikes. And then he goes quiet things settle down and the price drops, and then it spikes. There is a pattern emerging...

A statement made by China last week has received very little attention....

They were quoted in the government press as saying that 'If North Korea starts a conflict they will remain neutral, if the US or allies try to launch launch a preemptive strike they will prevent it'.

Obviously NK are pushing their luck....
