You guys don't have to agree (not like I had any expectations that you will) but I think with someone like Kim you have to show him you mean business. And lo and behold, he made a threat and then decided it was too much a risk to follow up on. I guess that being one of the very few things I approve of from Trump in the last 6 months makes me a Trump supporter to some of you black and white folks out there, but I don't care. Gotta give credit where credits due. I'll get him the next time he talks about the market or tries to get a laughable healthcare bill passed.

You're appealing to a deaf audience.

Suppose NK had launched a missile or four towards Guam, and as promised, they had landed in the surrounding waters.

 

Based on Trump's words, what do you think America's reaction should have been? I realize doing nothing was not an option, but Trump all but said he would launch a nuclear attack against NK. He spoke of "fire and fury" and "event the likes of which nobody's ever seen before, what will happen in North Korea." 

 

How do you walk back from that, and how to you keep such a promise without realizing that actually following through with the threat would certainly mean that Tokyo and Seoul would each have a NK nuke headed their way, the moment we initiated a response.

 

 

suppose you shot at me and missed.

I wouldn't want to do that, but it would be very unlikely that I'd miss a shot.

If the NK shot at Nuke at Guam and missed, the reaction should be the same as if the hit 

 

I doubt he would nuke them, but there would be a lot MOAB rained down

That's where we need Trump to shut up and let diplomacy work.

People here think that diplomacy means they need to actually talk to Jong Un. They don't realize that all they need do is shop somewhere other than Walmart for a few weeks, and we can get NK a nuke-free state in no time.

the point is they attacked our soil with nuclear weapons.  so what if the attack failed due to technical failures on the part of north korea? 
failing to respond with nuclear weapons gives north korea more time to get it right the next time........
