Trump isn’t bluffing, he has no strategy, you can’t bluff if you have no idea how to play the game. Trump has been betting on what ever cards land in his mitts, his poll numbers show he has had more losing hands than winning. His bomb dropping excited the war mongers, but most have seen through these as just yet another distraction from the daily Russian links that are turned up for his pre-(minority win)-election collusion.
Kim Jong-un doesn’t believe Trump is bluffing. He is completely convinced that Trump will come after North Korea. The thing is… his response is to defend himself and prepare to fight back, rather than back down. Even if the odds aren’t in his favor.
Hilarious. In 1994, it was estimated that a war on the Korean peninsula would cost “a million and a trillion.” That’s lives and dollars. Neither projected cost has not diminished with time.
We’ve had the ability to strike very hard at Korea for some time with a variety of weapons. Only morons think that a weapon that is delivered by a C-130 is a game changer. That C-130 doesn’t get anywhere near the little punk unless NK’s air defense has been taken out already … by the weapons that have been in place for years.
And you can bet the little punk will be in a deep, shielded bunker. NK has a lot of those. Which one, you fools?
Conservatives, willing to see trillions spent for killing “other” people in numbers large or small on some stupid premise.
Because of its size and weight, the MOAB has to be delivered by a C-135 with a top speed of 250. A North Korea fighting kite could take it out. This is not going to happen.
Oh, and for the fools who think that dropping big bombs on the leaders we love to hate is so effective:
Saddam Hussein (We bombed women and children in a shelter)
Gaddafi (missed by that much: killed his little girl)
Osama bin Laden (missed him, too)
Think about it. Even the only terrorist “leaders” killed by drone, were killed by a specially targeted missile, and only then because they lacked the protection of a national government, making them isolated targets, in low population areas.
Go back further. Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japanese leadership survived massive bombing. As did Churchill.
Donnie Dumpster is playing way out of his league. Fortunately, the South Koreans, who SHOULD be the ones calling the shots, aren’t as concerned as we are. Also North Korean conventional artillery can already flatte Seoul in a matter of minutes, and the South has a pretty decent Air Force, so it’s a lot more complicated than the dumpster will ever understand.

I just had a terrible thought: what if they gave a war and nobody came?

Yes, because a few dozen ISIS fighters in caves are just like the ruler of a country with nuclear weapons. Sure…
