US To Go To War Against NORTH KOREA? by oyinbayode(m): 3:47pm On Mar 17, 2017
TOKYO ­— The Trump administration gave its clearest signal yet that it would consider taking military action against North Korea, as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Friday that “all options are on the table” to deter the threat from Pyongyang.

Tensions are running high in Northeast Asia, with North Korea making observable progress toward its goal of building a missile that could reach the U.S. mainland and China incensed over South Korea’s decision to deploy an American antimissile battery.

Tillerson’s remarks, ruling out diplomatic talks and leaving the door open to military action, will fuel fears in the region that the Trump administration is seriously considering what Washington euphemistically calls “kinetic” options.
“Let me be very clear: The policy of strategic patience has ended,” Tillerson said at a news conference in Seoul with Yun Byung-se, the South Korean foreign minister. He was referring to the Obama administration policy of trying to wait North Korea out, hoping that sanctions would prove so crippling that Pyongyang would have no choice but to return to denuclearization negotiations.

“We’re exploring a new range of diplomatic, security and economic measures. All options are on the table,” Tillerson said. While the United States does not want military conflict, threats “would be met with an appropriate response,” he added.
“If they elevate the threat of their weapons program to a level that we believe requires action, that option is on the table,” Tillerson said.

Hours later, Trump decried North Korea’s defiance and also took aim at China, the North’s main patron. “North Korea is behaving very badly,” Trump wrote in a Twitter post. “They have been ‘playing’ the United States for years. China has done little to help!”

Rants.., empty rants... In less that 10 minutes North Korea can flatten Japan, South Korea and most of Americas military bases in Asia... In less than 30 minutes NKs ICBMs armed with nuclear warhead will be at Americas borders and the only thing stopping Armageddon at that point will be the fledgling "patriot missiles" that failed Israel against Saddams SCUDS... Americas military abilities as it regards North Korea is highly reduced at this point and the only hope for the demilitarization/denuclearization of the Korean peninsular is the assassination of the "fat boy" himself.., the infant-terrible who seem to be a combination of his grand father and father rolled into one in terms of his brutal nationalistic credentials...

Not true at all. Even Trump was recently talking of US building its stock of nuclear weapons which raised eyebrows in the US. Forget all the noise o, US no dey keep that kinda weapons o. Didn't you read about their nuclear deal with Iran about a year ago? undecided

If you want to see real nuclear weapons, please try Middle East, North Korea and Russia them. I hope you know that UN has a policy against all those stuff (stocking up nuclear and chemical weapons) ? Hence, US, being highly law abiding and democratic, won't do such a thing without violating that policy. So US only has air raids as her main "weapon".

The main problem is that Trump is dealing with countries like NK, Iran, China, etc that are not democratic or law abiding because of their dictatorial leaders. Hence, these countries don't even care what UN has got to say. These guys are radical and don't really care about who dies or who lives. NK's leader na the real definition of craze na grin grin grin. I hope you know how he executes his opponents? Nigga doesn't really have human sympathy that much o. He doesn't even care if a war breaks out. grin grin grin grin

It is a form of counter-measure against an imminent nuclear attack.
Missile defense is a system, weapon, or technology involved in the detection, tracking, interception, and destruction of attacking missiles. Originally conceived as a defence against
nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), its application has broadened to include shorter-ranged non-nuclear tactical and theater missiles.

Google it the Russia S-400, the one they deployed in Syria, compare and get back here to review so we can all learn... Even American military analysts have accepted their fate on this..

"A-21 “Growler,” is the most capable and lethal long-range air defense missile system on the planet.

In response to the downing of a Russian Su-24M by a Turkish F-16C on 24 November, the Russians announced a few changes to their Air Tasking Order in Syria: 1) ALL surface attack sorties would have fighter escorts and, 2) air defense batteries would be standing up the S-400, with orders to engage *all* aircraft deemed to be hostile to Russian air operations.

Developed by Almaz-Antey Central Design Bureau, the SA-21 has been in service with the Russian military since 2007. The system is capable of destroying airborne targets as far as 250 miles away, at speeds that are just….ridiculous. An excellent write-up on the system and its various components can be found here, courtesy of Airpower Australia...."

get your facts right brother.. trump never talked about increasing US stock of nukes, he suggested that the nuclear warheads should be upgraded I.e items such as tracking devices and other sensors the missiles are equipped with should be upgraded in order to improve accuracy and blast radius

UN do has a policy against nuclear weapons and for your information, all the so-called dictatorial' states (excluding north korea.. pulled out 2003)
you mentioned are all faithful adherents to this policy. Funnily enough, NK seems to have the fewest warheads among the recognized nuclear states.. even India has more nukes
