The history of North Korea began with the partition of Korea at the end of World War II in 1945, and the creation of the Communist-aligned Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) headed by the former guerrilla leader, Kim Il-sung. In 1950 the Korean War broke out.
I think the left has been concerned too.
Question is why do they hate us?

So much evil has been done by the Kim regime over the last 70 years that they really can't step away or show weakness without ending up dangling from a lamp post in the town square. They hate us because we expose their people to the truth of their brutal regime.

A sad example of how bad that regime is, watch the Winter Olympics when the DPRK cheer team is in the stands... more than half of them will likely be in gulags before the end of the year. That is the fate of such women, seeing the lifestyle of the average South Korean first hand makes them a threat to the Kim regime and its propaganda.
 
This reminds me of that Simplexity thread where he was absolutely 100% convinced Russia was going to invade the EU or something.
 

It would be a HUGE mistake to attack Iran for no Reason, like we did Iraq. Wtf is the reason the GOP loves war in the middle east.
 
Here's a project for the news media stop covering the liar and his clone supporters! Stop trying to figure them out it's plan and simple whom they are. Instead just go into the streets in any American city and ask the folks if we are currently at war? Then asked them what is America's longest war!

Yeah right we will never leave Afghanistan.
Thanks bush jr. SMH damn you gop...
 
Speaking of which "Rumors of War" was poignant. Or maybe it was "A Rumor of War". I want to say the author's last name was Caputo
 
Nuclear armed icbms launched from n korea is a menace that even liberals should be concerned about.

North Korea will not have the capability to put a nuclear warhead on a missile for several years yet but when and if they do, it wouldn't get very far. It might make it to Japan but our Strategic Command up in Alaska will detect it in an instant and destroy it in the air.

When was the last time they tested this defense?

Strategic Air Command does not ordinarily publicly announce when and how they test their missile defense systems. It's sort of secret, ya know? Right now the US and S. Korea are conducting joint military drills with full units on the ground, in the sea and in the air. It's one of the largest joint military exercises in the world. That's why Kim Jong-un is a little pissed off. But don't worry, Kim Jong-un doesn't want to die. He's only showing off that he has some missiles and he's trying to rattle the cage a little bit.

THANKS for the insight.

Question:


So correct me if I'm wrong... We are at war with afghanistan? We are conducting war games in 2 separate locations? We have these lesser wars going on too?
Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, and Niger
Do the average American even know about this or just don't care? And what does all these nation we are at war with have in common?
 
Unfortunately war with Iran would be the. Best political move this absolutely historical horrible president and administration could make.

It's interesting to note that Congress is pretty panicky about the possibility of Trump starting a war.

There have only been three times in US history that the full Senate has used its authority under the 1973 War Powers Resolution to block a president from using military force abroad.

All three efforts were against Trump — with a Republican-led Senate.

the dummies did the same thing during Dubya's term. They just knew he was going to start a war and then try to stay President forever. There was never a chance in hell the Pentagon would go to war to keep Bush in power, and even less of a chance they do it for Trump.

We're still in Iraq...and several other conflicts were added to the roster after Bush but before Trump. The US military is nearly everywhere. This is not good or sustainable.


There were some conservatives that thought Obama might try the same trick, but there was no chance of that happening either.

War in Afghanistan 18.7 years (18 years, 8 months)
Is this the only "official war" we are currently involved in? Not talking proxies here...
