I know it won't happen but Congress should meet and impeach Trump for incompetence due to his childish name calling exchange while the lives of millions of people are in the balance. What's more incompetent than that? What's the point of trading insults with someone people claim is a madman?

Most Trump supporters don't understand that MILLIONS of South Korean will die in any conventional war. But here the risk of nuclear war is very real. It's not the end of the world scenario as in a war between superpowers but the entire Korean peninsula could be under a radioactive cloud.

This is not political. I would rather Trump be president than Pence. Pence would be far less likely to compromise conservative principles that I disagree with. But Pence would certainly not stoop to childish name calling!

I have no problem with Trump trying to get China to increase pressure. But I don't think anyone can justify trading insults with a madman who has nuclear weapons.

Trump needs to go. Period. Million could die.

So you rule out freedom of speech for the president?
 
So administration after administration screw up on Korea to get us to the point where we are today, a radical NK with nuclear weapons, leaving Trump to deal with it yet he's the problem?
 
By that token, speaking of incompetence, Obama should have been removed as well. No, I am not changing the subject. Why? Because no potus can make everyone happy and some voters will always be disgruntled.
It is about time sore losers wait until the next elections.
 
I totally agree with Gordon Humphrey here. This is an emergency. Trump had his chance. He's proven himself totally and absolutely incompetent. We need to take action.

Gordon Humphrey, who represented New Hampshire between 1979 and 1990, said the US President is “sick of mind” and called for members of Congress to force him out.

In a letter sent to several New Hampshire Democrat senators and representatives, Mr Humphrey said Mr Trump is “dangerous”, “seriously sick” and could cause the deaths of millions of people.

“Donald Trump is impaired by a seriously sick psyche,” he wrote in the letter, which was shared with WMUR. “His sick mind and reckless conduct could consume the lives of millions. The threat of nuclear war is steeply on the rise."

Claiming the Commander-in-Chief is “sick of mind, impetuous, arrogant, belligerent and dangerous”, he added: "Donald Trump should be relieved of the powers of the presidency at the earliest date."

“Serious crises are bearing down on us. We cannot leave our national security and our families’ safety in the hands of a President whose poor judgement, belligerence, vindictiveness and reckless impetuosity constitute an indictment of his mental health.

“Donald Trump is seriously sick. He is dangerous. As a citizen, a former US Senator and 12-year member of the (Senate) Armed Services Committee, I urge you to act at once. This is an emergency.”

Trump should go but not Kim Jung Whateverhisnameis. :lol: I'm curious if there's anything North Korea would he considered actually responsible for or is everything always the U.S. fault?

It's almost like you're saying NK shouldn't have nukes, like something should be or should have been done to prevent that rather than turn a blind eye to it.

Did you think the same way when McCain called him "that crazy fat kid"? Whatever Teump has done and is doing has put China clearly on our side. "Rocketman" is a kindness. He's a ****ing asshole.

You don't understand. No one screwed anything up. The situation has always been impossible. NK can level Seoul with conventional artillery. It's not always possible to prevent a nation from having nuclear weapons. I would argue that Pakistan is one coup away from radical Islamists having nukes and that's far more dangerous than NK.

Why are we back to being America world police? NK is the "Hermit Kingdom." They just want to be left alone. Leave them alone. Eventually they will collapse.

What's the point of name calling a madman? Answer that question.

Why do North Korea and Iran want nukes? They want nukes because they're afraid of U.S. invasion. They saw what happened to Saddam Hussein. Would Iraq have been invaded if they had nukes?

You have to look at things from the point of view of your enemy. Nuclear weapons are in their best interest in terms of defense against U.S. invasion.

North Korea and Iran have no interest in striking anyone outside their border. Why would they? It would be instant annihilation by U.S. nuclear submarines.
 
There is a very real possibility that millions will be killed before the end of Trump's term. This is all fantastic entertainment for Trump supporters, but the situation is very volatile and the stakes are extraordinary.

Of course, trump supporters have already long-since crafted their fallback narrative. If trump screws up and millions die, his supporters will shrug and say, "Whatabout Clinton who gave North Korea a lightweight reactor?"

The answer is there is no point in calling a madman names in front of the world and his people. Trump is simply childish and unfit for this job. It's time you admit that before millions of people die.

NK didn't develop and produce those nukes and missiles in the last 9 months, and Kim Jong Fattie has been around a while. So the problem must not be President Trump. It is however President Trump's problem. 50 years of talking about it and playing nicey nice hasn't worked. President Trump is handling it the best way possible unless you have a better idea.
 
Does it strike anyone else as strange that South Korea never moved their capital further away from their northern border? Not that it would do anything to make them better protected from nukes, but as someone else pointed out, they're one massed artillery strike away from being beheaded.

Until he screws it up, at which point the buck will fly to one of his predecessors so fast you'll sue for whiplash.

They (NK) don't want to be left alone. Why else do you build missiles capable of carrying nukes somewhere else. That's the problem.

Really? Threatening us with nukes is the best way do avoid going to war with us? Was a war with NK even contemplated prior to the threats and missiles?

Is name calling "the best way possible"?

You keep blaming past administrations because you don't understand that there is no good solution. It's been analyzed to death. NK has a gun to South Korea's head.

Stop trying to change the subject. The subject is the childish name calling at the UN of all places. That's incompetence. You can't deny that.

There's no legal reason to impeach him.

Humans are resilient when it comes to building their homes next door to disaster. Probably 1/64th of the United States is relatively free of fires, earthquakes, tornadoes, crime, floods, hurricanes, severe heat waves, severe frosts, economic depression or drought.

You don't need nukes to defend your country. Nukes are counterproductive for defense.

My post has been edited to make note of the artillery risk Seoul faces. Capitals have been moved over less by more secure governments. For example, China's capital has been all over the place, and was actually a mobile tent city at one point during Mongolian rule.

Correction: the capital was still Beijing, but a few of the Mongolian Emperors of the Yuan dynasty did have a mobile city at their disposal, and did most of their relatively inefficient and lackluster governing from there.

Final correction: I am a ****ing mouth-breather invalid. The Yuan dynasty was the end of the mobile capital setup of the Mongolian Empire; Kubalai Khan, first Emperor of the Yuan dynasty and the first Great Khan to rule as a traditional Chinese Emperor, established a permanent capital at Beijing.
