Rex Tillerson just said war against NK may be necessary

[Eliot Rosewater]

You stupid shit, no it is not necessary and if it ever was, god forbid, you are in NO Way qualified to be in charge of anything let alone the State Dept.

Our country is in the hands of thieves and assholes.

1. Surely its time to remove all these idiots from power

Or should we wait for an actual war disaster?

[Marthe48]

2. Funny how previous administrations, even Cheney's

could handle N. Korea without war. What a bunch of f***-ups.

[Johnny2X2X]

3. The world needs to do something

The N Korean people are starving, dying, and working at slave labor camps. Their leaders are truly evil. The world needs to do something to help.

Now the clowns in charge of the US aren't capable of running a Dairy Queen much less a war, but they aren't off base in saying Kim Jong Un's government needs to go.

[Marthe48]

4. sounds like the blueprint trump follows

n/t

[woodsprite]

7. And they want the same for us here in the US. n/t

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. That wasnt why Rex says we need war, he says due to their nuclear capability

the group in charge now dont give one shit let alone two about the human beings anywhere on the planet other than their friends and family and then even then there are conditions.

The world should do something to help those people, not the USA though, not alone.

[JustAnotherGen]

12. Thanks for writing it - let me repeat

the group in charge now dont give one shit let alone two about the human beings anywhere on the planet other than their friends and family and then even then there are conditions.

13. I'm sorry but someone in North Korea needs to take one for the country and

put a bullet in L'il Kim's head and be done with this. You've got a family of dictator's who have been starving their nation for generations while the family of dick-tator's live high on the hog, and kill people for pleasure. There shouldn't be that many family members remaining since the family of tyrants don't trust one another and have been killing members off. It wouldn't take a coup to pull this off; just a handful of people who know that I could be next if the L'il tyrant decided that I wasn't crying loud enough or applauding hard enough at their next staged event. If the little dick-tator can spend money on nuclear weapons and other things, while his people die of malnutrition, someone with a bullet in his gun, needs to permanently loan it to the little dick-tator.

Once L'il Kim is dead, the people then should all rise up like the people did in Romania after the fall of communist and having found out how well their dick-tator Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, were living in their castle with gold toilet seats, they stormed the place and took them outside and shot them by firing squad. Tyrants who show no mercy, don't deserve any mercy. Someone in their next May Day parade of weapons has access to real bullets, and L'il Kim needs to join his father and grandfather in the afterworld.

5. Oh, great. A rank amateur is in charge of international diplomacy

and hasn't a clue how to do it. Dumbass, you just don't say shit like that, especially to a guy like Kim Jong-un, who is just as deranged as Trump.

Jesus God.

[Javaman]

6. war is the result when all other efforts are completely exhausted.

it's seems as if the repukes love to shoot first

[johnp3907]

8. Gotta do SOMETHING to get those poll numbers up.

10. Bill Clinton nearly went to war with them.

His preparations brought them to the table, but the GOP congress refused to make good on our part of it and while "W" was preoccupied with the middle east they got their nukes. I do think they are way more of a threat than ISIS and I don't entirely disagree with his statement.

Soon after the agreement was signed, U.S. Congress control changed to the Republican Party, who did not support the agreement.[16][17] Some Republican Senators were strongly against the agreement, regarding it as appeasement.[18][19] Initially U.S. Department of Defense emergency funds not under Congress control were used to fund the transitional oil supplies under the agreement,[20] together with international funding. From 1996 Congress provided funding, though not always sufficient amounts.[11][21] Consequently, some of the agreed transitional oil supplies were delivered late.[22] KEDO's first director, Stephen Bosworth, later commented "The Agreed Framework was a political orphan within two weeks after its signature".[23]

Some analysts believe North Korea agreed to the freeze primarily because of the U.S. agreement to phase out economic sanctions that had been in place since the Korean War. But because of congressional opposition, the U.S. failed to deliver on this part of the agreement.[24]

11. WAR with North Korea

Would mean an absolute and total failure of the United States State Department to have done its mission.

Sadly, he may be correct- since it would indicate total failure on his part, and the part of his boss.

[RDANGELO]

14. Please contact Bill Richardson!

He has had success in dealing with them before, but they would never do anything that smart.

[smirkymonkey]

15. Great. That's all we need is this warmongering buffoon whispering

ideas into Trump's ear. I will be shocked if we AREN'T in a war by the end of June.

16. "North Korea has 'Excellent' Oil and Gas Potential" - Maritime Executive Magazine

An article from GeoExPro, a petroleum geoscience magazine, says that North Korea has “excellent” oil and gas exploration potential, both onshore and offshore.

The assessment was made by Michael Rego, an exploration consultant with access to North Korean geophysical data that has so far received little international attention.

...

China conducted surveys off the west coast in the 1960s. Subsequently, Russia has also conducted surveys along with Taurus Petroleum in Switzerland and Malaysia’s Petronas.

NK News reports Rego saying that the West Sea definitely has oil and has flowed oil at reasonable rates from at least two exploration wells.

I'm sure China wouldn't mind if we liberated the poor souls of NK. Why, with the potential oil to be found, the war would pay for itself! Trust me!
