President Trump Says “Something” Will Have to Happen in Response to North Korea ICBM Test
Here is the latest on President Trump’s reaction to the recent North Korean nuclear test:
President Trump called on all nations to join together in countering the North Korean regime’s “very, very bad behavior” and said the country must be confronted “very strongly” after a series of missile launches, including the most recent, a test of what U.S. officials believe was an intercontinental ballistic missile.
“They are behaving in a very, very dangerous manner,” Trump said today during a joint news conference in Poland with the Polish President Andrzej Duda.
Asked directly whether North Korea’s actions are beyond redemption and whether he’s ready to launch military action, Trump wouldn’t signal what actions he might take but said “something” will have to happen.
“I don’t know, we’ll see what happens. I don’t like to talk about what I have planned. I have pretty severe things that we’re thinking about,” the president said. “That doesn’t mean that we’ll do them. I don’t draw red lines.
“We’ll take a look at what happens over the coming weeks and months with respect to North Korea,” he added. [Good Morning America]
You can read more at the link, but I am sure President Trump has received all kinds of different options to look at and it appears upcoming North Korean behavior will dictate which option is chosen.
All talk, no action. Just like building the border wall, cancelling trade agreements, revoking the Dream Act, etc.
Denny, After Mr. Mom-jean, the 40 bills passed through Congress and signed by this President put the lie to your blathering. Don’t they sell Preparation H where you live?
Ha. Poor Denny. Always one step behind.
It seems the target in this little game is China… as Trump cleverly set a trap for China and they fell into it.
Trump now has grounds to start enacting sanctions on China.
Keep in mind a very important fact. America is one if the few countries that is 100% self sustainable… food, energy, construction, manufacturing… everything.
Sure, the price of noisy-flashy crap will rise… and some nonessential things will be expensive or in short supply for a few months while supply chains adjust.
But a breakdown in China-driven globalization will hurt China and help America.
As pretty much everything Trump does, this was a win-win for him.
He wins against North Korea or he wins against China…
…and when it is over, he will likely win against both.
Bonus: Trump-spoilers, such as Denny, STILL don’t get it.
The wall is there. Can’t you see it? It is amazingly effective. It cost nothing.
The number of illegals crossing the border is down. The number of illegals self-deporting is up.
Is Denny seriously advocating for Trump to build an unnecessary physical wall even though the goal is being met?
The leftists have truly divorced themselves from reality.
This is why they cannot win elections.
Denny, get right with reality before the ridicule starts.
Mr. Trump don’t be like Obama Drawing a line in the sand, and then do nothing. keep your mouth shut, if you not willing to back it up. The worst thing a POTUS can do is make warning that don’t get back up. Since the cat is out of the bag, (North Korea being a nuke super power) just wait them out or do like obama administration don’t pay them any attention and hope they go away.
Oh boy! I doubt if Trump can make it through his four years. he is starting to look really beat down,even when he try to look up as POTUS. Consequently you can see what the POTUS office did to Obama and he was a young very young for as president age go. He look so tired, poor fellow.
It’s boggles my mind why would anybody want that job. That can take a toll on your health. Is it the benefit’s or the ego of a person to game the system, because they all say they are going to do grandiose things but does nothing. So help my god.
I’d certainly agree that being President is the most vampiric job in America. 😮
Where is Hans Blix when you need him?
Sanctions failed, Sunshine failed, more sanctions failed, so what is next?
Thanks to Barry O’s actions in Libya there is no way nK will trust anything the west says. (Poor COL K wanted to play nice, gave up his WMD and Barry and Killary saw him hang from a fig tree for his trouble).
I don’t think anyone is really ready for an attributal direct action (and any action would be attributed). People that talk tough usually don’t live in Korea. (20+ million live in easy arty range of the North; and South Korea has total 10.3 hospital beds/1,000 population (2009))
So what can happen?
I am advocating for a physical wall to be built.
Trump won’t be in there forever. Future presidents can order the border patrol to stand down again, but they may have a little more trouble trying to get a 30 foot slab of concrete to comply with an executive order.
Hello, Mr. President, Nothing has to happen, the baby has been born To late to abort (DPRK NUKE) can’t you see it, is a deliberate action to trap you in a war, which will start WWIII. You should remain calm cool and collective and not respond to the provocation or egg on posturing by DPRK, which have friends in high places; Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama. You should just be friends and not do nothing, has to happen. So help me, god.
Legally North Korea has committed no harm within their sovereign right to test those missiles that fall in international waters. They are just testing you to elicit a particular response for a war. Pretty sure their buddies would get into the fray of things. And we’ve known for some minutes who their buddies are. Hint: their nukes program did not jump to hummingbird speed on DPRK own merits. DON’T DO IT! Oh! WTF! there an edit box, where did it come from somebody is playing games on me.
