    Apparently they have just fired a ballistic missile.

    I've thought for a couple of weeks, I'm going to wake up one morning to the news that the USA have started to bomb them.

    I think it will happen soon.

    Their relationship with their own allies are strained. They're going to end up being wiped off the planet. Can't see China and Russia wanting to go war off the back off their peacocking and luck pushing, they've got their own priorities

    My take is that N Korea was brought to the top of the world agenda by Trump for no other reason than it appealed to his vanity to sort out what Obama said would be his biggest test. N Korea is a tuppeny hapy place and just the right size for Trump to push around.

    Trump provoked the situation by allegedly sending a naval task force and just could not leave well alone. Fat Lad in charge of a starving nation could be disposed of without anything from Yanks. Leave the Chinese to it.

    They rate Pol Pot on genocide.

    No mate, won't happen.

    The yanks can't bomb North Korea. They can't guarantee taking out the key figures in their government.

    Took a while but Trump's got some smart guys on the international stage around him now.

    Armageddon isn't around the corner just yet mate.

    Sorry mate pressed the like button instead of reply....sucks getting old....

    Trumps getting involved because it's deflecting his own domestic problems....the Russia thing and them getting involved in his campaign won't go away.

    I don't see the USA getting involved to be honest unless Korea do something stupid.

    Trumps action are more to get the Chinese involved to take care of it. He seems more comfortable with the Chinese than the Russians...

    Scary thought though have this numpty head of the USA.....ffs.

    If you see on the news that there is a missile heading towards Los Angeles give me a heads up mate. Hopefully it will miss LA and do a direct hit of the Stadium of Light when empty and put us all out of misery....<doh>

    Just my opinion but I really can't see the Hamshankers taking on North Korea.
    Last time they went to war with an Asian country they got ****ing bladdered.

    If the missiles start firing off towards your neck of the woods, keep your head down mate.

    Won't do you any good, but it'll make me feel just a little better about giving you a heads up.

    It'll also make me feel good for about 12 to 13 minutes before they all starting landing here!

    That's ok mate.
    I don't think they've won a war yet apart from the one against us like.
    Other than that I don't recall one.
    I discount WW2 as they only came on in injury time when we were already 2-0 up.

    Not exactly true Bill, we never lost any battles in N America but were too stretched elsewhere to carry on fighting a guerilla war. Left them too it and went onto India and other parts of Empire.
