Nicholas Kristoff just said that in the first day of a Korean war 1 million would die according to studies. Talking about risk of war with Trump in power. CNN Kristoff also said the the North Koreans broadcast every counterpunch Trump delivers to Um Kim Jong Un because it plays into kju hands.

 

i thought you idiots said war was starting today...

1. And, I assume that number does not include use of nukes...

If it goes nukes, there will easily be 10 times that.

2. Within months, billions will be dead.

When one of the nuclear powers gets backed into a corner in the conflict, out will come the nuclear weapons.

Which is why we tried so hard to keep nukes out of NOKs' hands

3. 1M North Koreans or 1M South Koreans?

4. In two days there would be 2 million dead. I think that is split between the two.

8. I do not know what the split will be, but if America is involved, it is never even

In Iraq for example, it was 100:1

According to the DUmpmonkiez, more Iraqis were killed than there were Iraqis... sort o like [D] voting rolls, really...

6. What does he think US policy towards N Korea should be?

No one seems to have a good answer for that one.

10. Talk to them one on one.

First about agreeing to end the Korean War, then about nukes.

Remember, it was us who came Harry Truman's approval from nuking them and maybe China.

BTW, anyone that think China will let us decimate and ally of that country on it's doorstep really isn't playing with a full deck.

  otherwise, do the same shit as Barry. That worked out well...

15. So far, we are the only country to have used nukes. Hope we don't do it again.

Even if dead and maimed are contained, it will throw the world into economic hell with the constant threat of worldwide nuclear destruction.

Even conventional war on scale needed to protect S Korea -- once bombs start flying -- will be destructive.

Screw Trump and his need to appear tough.

Hoyt just shows how stupid he is once again.

That should be aces with the 'Save the climate' crowd, what's the problem?

Congratulations, DUmbasses!  You have all highlighted the failures of liberal appeasement strategies, damned the do nothing strategy of Obama, and validated every critic of Clinton's disastrous deal with the communist North.

But DU swore up and down that Dear Leader wasn't allowing the Norks to gain the knowledge or the materials to build a nuclear bomb. No way they could have made one within the last year. Why are they now making out like the Norks have a nuke?

What's up with that, primitives?

He was told; I love you, the check's in the mail, and, I won't yada yada yada.    Being the gullible rube he is, he believed it.   

I am guessing the Le May plan might work (I think it was his) Nuc the NK border.  Solves two problems, keeps NK from fleeing to China and keeps the Chinese from crossing to save them.  Then let the SK march North.

15. So far, we are the only country to have used nukes.

and our use of them prevented us from having to invade Japan to end the war they started and is estimated to have saved more lives than were lost in the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Since the end of WWII, we have shown restraint and maintained a nuclear arsenal to maintain a balance of force on par with our enemies to prevent a nuclear war.

Now you have the leader of N korea who just recently obtained nukes and is just itching to use them because he feels he was slighted.

Big difference DUmmy.
