The scenario is North Korea just launched an ICBM toward Guam which is a US territory and has US military bases. . There is no way to tell whether it is nuclear tipped or not while it's in the air.

Yes, yes, I know. You, much like me, would prefer he go back to the good old days before he was running for President.If the U.S. attacks Syria and hits the wrong targets, killing civilians, there will be worldwide hell to pay. Stay away and fix broken U.S.

And yet you still don't have a solution that hasn't already been tried and failed. You just criticize those that are trying to solve the problem.iWriteStuff wrote: ↑August 11th, 2017, 12:51 pmWait, what?

Now you're getting it, buddy! All the solutions put forth by the Gadiantons have failed so we'd be insane to continue relying on their ideas. That's why we need to do what Jesus would do. Jesus would not attack or even threaten North Korea. His servants sent food there. That's the grand key for understanding what Jesus would do. Bless them that curse us. Feed them. Help them.markharr wrote: ↑August 11th, 2017, 1:01 pmAnd yet you still don't have a solution that hasn't already been tried and failed.

We tried deploying the THAAD missile system to our military bases in S. Korea and Japan and it failed to shoot down a missile headed for Guam? Oh, my apologies. I thought that would work like the 14 other times it succeeded in intercepting missiles during practice.

Or are you referring to failed diplomacy? Because threatening nuclear annihilation isn't really my kind of diplomacy. In fact threatening to turn them into a smoking crater doesn't even fit the definition of diplomacy.

Actually, if we achieved peace without nuking or killing anyone, I would applaud loudly and sincerely. Heck, I might even develop a smidge of respect for Trump (or whoever pulled it off). If we could somehow then bridge the gap in culture and politics that seems to be driving a wedge between us, that would be even better. I hope you want the same.markharr wrote: ↑August 11th, 2017, 1:20 pmiWriteStuff wrote: ↑August 11th, 2017, 1:15 pmWe tried deploying the THAAD missile system to our military bases in S.

It wouldn't matter what is done. You would smugly criticize the end result when it was over.

Do you remember how we ceased to be enemies with Russia? How the wall came down? How we made peace with China? We have made peace with nuclear armed enemies in the past, and we have done so without killing millions of them. I want that again. Reagan pulled it off. Nixon pulled it off. Can Trump?

Mao starved more people to death than currently live in North Korea. Yet Nixon made peace with them, opened up their country for trade, and brought them into the civilized world. We killed no one. Stalin killed between 15 and 20 million of his own people, nearly the amount of the current population of North Korea. And yet we are allies with them today, and we didn't drop any bombs on them or assassinate any leaders. Reagan accomplished that.markharr wrote: ↑August 11th, 2017, 1:36 pmiWriteStuff wrote: ↑August 11th, 2017, 1:24 pm

And then we could go on looking the other way while hundreds of thousands more starve, suffer and die in work camps over the next decade. Pretending it isn't happening because all is well in zion.

The only solution Trump seems open to right now is the one policy neither Reagan nor Nixon thought necessary when dealing with nations 100x bigger. No one is pretending "all is well in Zion". I'm saying there are alternatives to death and destruction.

Simple. I would resign.
Correct. Jesus has much more powerful weapons. He caused a flood to cover the entire planet. He caused mountains to be placed on top of cities, other cities to be burned down, other cities to be sunk in the ocean, other cities to be destroyed in earthquakes and sink into the ocean, and one day He will cause a burning all over the planet to destroy the wicked and purify everything and everybody able to abide the Second Coming.Silver wrote: ↑August 11th, 2017, 11:46 amUhm, nobody?iWriteStuff wrote: ↑August 11th, 2017, 11:43 amYou're both asking the wrong question.

As a result of my association with a Colorado Senator when I was considering going into politics, I have come to believe with all of my heart that if you go into politics, you will almost certainly be one of only two things:
1) Corrupt.
-OR-
2) Ineffective.
I do not believe there is an option 3. I am fully aware of my great susceptibility to corruption, and I don't need any additional opportunities to screw my life up.
We ceased to be enemies with Russia?? All we did was postpone the big shootout. Peace with China? Nope, just another postponed fight.iWriteStuff wrote: ↑August 11th, 2017, 1:24 pmActually, if we achieved peace without nuking or killing anyone, I would applaud loudly and sincerely.

I wonder... What would you do?
(Edited to add) This scenario, of course, presupposes that our intelligence somehow missed all of the communication, movement, and preparation necessary to pull off such a thing and we were caught completely unawares.
