Putin is far more dangerous to U.S. interests than Kim and both could be described as murderous sociopaths.
 
doing something like that in China's back yard is not going to end well.

"The business of the USA is Business." War is big business. Bigger business than the Auto Industry. If you don't have enough hot wars, you have to create fear of something to stoke the sales of that Military Industrial Corporate Complex. Marketing, don't ya' know, USA style? If things go wrong, it's just the peons, peasants and pissants that get killed because the 1% already bought bubbles, jist in case. The only threat is that perhaps USA citizens won't respond to more weapons and bigger bombs and some warmongers might go bankrupt. We'll need more ships because that makes wars easier to export. Yowsa Bubba, 'War is good business, and business is booming." Speaking of lunatics: Trump is narcissitic, egotistical, a bully, and would certainly qualify for entry into a Mental Institution. Isn't it wonderful when sociopaths and psychopaths run the institution? Don't that just give you a warm and fuzzy?

Your post is literally nothing but incoherent shrieking.

Several news articles published recently (as of the end of June 2017) suggest that Trump will take military action against North Korea for continuously taunting and failing to discontinue their nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

Trump's going to get himself impeached and his abuse of our military system will be just another brick in the bag we're going to use to hit 'em over the head with.

Kim Jong Un is a lot of things, but I don't get this idea of where people assume he's suicidal.

And I don't get how some people can miss the signs that the little rodent would rather die than give up power

If he feels his grandfathers legacy slipping away he won't hesitate to push the button and take 10's of millions with him

I don't deny that, but that's only likely to happen if the threat of his dictatorship coming down actually happens, which as of right now isn't.

You want to allow him to have the nuclear weapons and the icbms and the decision of whether to level tokyo, hawaii and san fransisco or LA which would be insanity on our part

Thats a dangerous gamble that I am not willing to take

I don't want him to, not at all, but thus far no one has been able to propose a solution that doesn't end up killing potentially millions of people or getting us involved in a war with China.

Maybe there is no solution short of war

It began in the final year of Bush41 and continued through the clinton and bush adminstions

In deference to the people in south korea I never supported military action before

but now it is no longer just a regional threat

I'll grant you there is no easy solution to this mess, but neither headstrong decisions nor half measures will suffice in this situation.

Runs into much more than that. These are IIRC just related to bad mortgages that were rolled out as AAA plus and sold to other investors. And that is what brought the world banking system to their knees. The bankers walked away with 10's of billions over the term/time these were sold world wide. And the average joe lost everything

Bull****. The average joe did not lose everything. Only fools who didnt diversify lost much of anything.

Really How many lost the homes- how many had 401 K/ investments/ stocks wiped out.
How many retirees had to return to work as their investments dropped.
Diversify- right- Considering it hit every stock and investment fund.

We have been struggling with the north korea problem for 30 years

So whatever we do will not be a snap decision

How is he going to get himself impeached exactly? I've listened to and watched your ilk calling for impeachment when he's done absolutely nothing to warrant it.

Nuclear wise yes; but more like 72 years overall; one war begets another throughout the history of man; Soviets took NK in 1945 and USA took SK and the rest is history.

I would support a blockade if things get serious, but I don't want to know about it until it happens. THADD is more than capable of dealing with a nuclear NK. I still see them more as a serious conventional threat .

A blockaid is not a good idea.

If it works by putting kim in a bind that will force kim to attack on his schedule instead of ours.

A preemptive strike is the only way to handle it
