At this point armed conflict means nuclear war. What means they cannot be provoked, but also? They cannot provoke others. The game is changed, since both party have the nuclear option in the table. No more jumping poking prodding and angering the other, no more empty threats It's one thing when a poor but in military terms able nation do this? And entirely other when a nuclear power do the same.
End of the childhood.
Stalemate To N Korea this means victory. To Trumph? [down]
For my part? I'm not happy with it. but let's see how they will going to act right now?
Agree completely that procrastination has got us here.
Predicting a hot war on the peninsula?
I cannot see the NoKo guys deciding to disarm in the face of an invasion. If I'm holding a gun on intruders in my house, why would I hand it over "so we can talk"? They can talk to the bullet.
That war to disarm option won't fly because the risk to the homeland is now too great. it's not like the Iraq War, where the proof of no WMD was because the US invaded. They CAN'T invade now. And the military knows it.
So that only leaves the Strategic level option. On the border with China? Highly dubious. It would wreck the world economy, and poison South Korea.

And to destroy a nation with nukes? that's genocide, From the most brutal kind of. We don't talk about the madness of Hitler, Or dying due starvation, the execution of the population trough a really brutal ethnically or religiously motivated war, or just let them die in the sicknesses what you bought in! But the cold blooded aforethought total utter destruction of an entire nation. You cannot survive this in a democracy. And a nation whom do this cannot survive the world political consequences.
Maybe the calculation is that the man too cowardly to fight personally will eat crow in public when push comes to shove.
Look at his bravery with Pena Nieto?
They are maybe doing a test of his testosterone in public, and are sure he'll lose face.
Personally, I think that China and the U.S. should be jointly demonstrating their missile defence systems. Showing N.K. first hand that it don't matter how many missiles N.K. launch; they are going to fall out of the sky in seconds and more importantly; that the U.S. and China are happy to work together.

That's the other possibility.
Edit; But even in this case they still have nukes, and the necessary power to reach anywhere with it, + Defenses are not 100% At this point nuclear defense is just too unreliable, to act like they are not there. No changes, N Korea still have his nukes, and can launch it, MAD doctrine still in play, only less reliable, but to think because of this you can be cocky? That's suicide.
Not to mention what makes anyone think from this point the Nuclear powers not going to rig their bomb to explode in case of the carrier rocket destruction? With this much power and number of bombs it just don't matter where they are actually explode, MAD doctrine still can and will mean the end of the world. Or make carriers whom better than the current defensive weaponry like Satan II.

They haven't "ignored" it, I'm not even sure if that would actually be within their power to do. It's not been done only because no such direction has yet been given to the Secretary of Defense from the President.
Dude died a year before the public water closet was introduced.
Just one examples of the things he did not know anything about.
Bloodletting and more bloodletting and teh ultimate bloodletting machine (can be seen in the Mozart house in Salzburg).
that would mean something like work, to him. It is amusing that he said, made a big thing of it and yet; as you pointed out, has not followed it through. All of which could be learnt, at Chump University.
I think that we can humbly begin to pray. Whatever our god, pray my friends
To listen to the generals talk, the announcement blindsided them, which seems fairly typical of Trump's tweets. I 'm sure there was resistance to this that wasn't expected, even though there is a lot of popular support for it especially after the NDAA vote failed a couple weeks prior. One thing I'm pretty certain about Trump, he's finding out there is probably a metric crapton more of bureaucracy to cut through than even the real estate business.
I don't believe that we have heard the last of this however.

Don, has of course; got it wrong: The puppies and children, are the wrong way around. Or maybe you miss-quoted him?

I dont know. Maybe I mis-attributed the quote, I dont check my sources. You can analyze it if you want, I myself just liked the satire.

They had an entire science and theory around bloodletting and that malpractice survived 2 millennia.

It's of course also a warning that even the most convinced experts and scholars can be completely wrong and scientific progress and advancing our knowledge as a race is a must.
NoKo threatens to hit Guam after the "Fire and Fury" speech.
Rhetoric is escalating. Who will call chicken first?
The previous bombs used in Japan were Little Boy, and Fat Man. If they bomb NoKo, they should call that one Fat Little Boy.
