Can we get back to wondering what the hell is wrong with people who hope that I get killed in a nuclear disaster along with them?

I'm really scared. This came out today :

"California Is Already Preparing for a North Korean Nuclear Attack"

From the article :

Noting the heightened North Korean threat, the Los Angeles-area Joint Regional Intelligence Center issued a bulletin last month warning that a nuclear attack on Southern California would be “catastrophic” and urged officials in the region to shore up their nuclear attack response plans.

The 16-page “Nuclear Attack Response Considerations” bulletin is dated Aug. 16 and marked for “official use only.” It was circulated last month to Los Angeles-area local, state, and federal agency personnel and also throughout the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies across the country.

In a section on “radiation protection basics,” the report offers a primer on what to do during a nuclear attack. “Lie face down and place hands under the body to protect exposed skin,” it recommends. “Remain flat until the heat and shock waves have passed.”

The public will need to evacuate, the report says, but with “limited understanding of radiation risks, they will experience high anxiety and may be non-compliant.”

Challenges with contamination spread by pets and through clothing are among the many public health and logistical coordination issues spelled out for potential emergency responders.

“The consequences of a nuclear attack in Southern California would be catastrophic,” the report says. “Nonetheless, government entities and first responders are expected to remain operational to preserve human life, maintain order, and aid in the recovery process.”

The report, which is largely directed at local, state, and federal agencies and first responders located in the Los Angeles region, notes that the federal government will likely be of limited help immediately after a nuclear blast.

“[T]here will be no significant federal assistance at the scene for 24-72 hours following the attack,” the bulletin says.

And this :

"North Korea accuses US of declaring war, says it has right to shoot down bombers."

From the article :

North Korea's foreign minister on Monday accused President Donald Trump of declaring war, saying that gives the rogue regime the right to shoot down U.S. strategic bomber.

Pyongyang could target planes even when they are not flying in North Korean airspace, Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho told reporters in New York.

"The whole world should clearly remember it was the U.S. who first declared war on our country," he said.

Later Monday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said "we have not declared war on North Korea," calling the suggestion "absurd."

There's an obvious reason it's not worth trash talking rogue states. Same goes for diplomatic statements not USUALLY reading like YouTube comments.

By this point the U.S. is basically another rogue state anyway. We need to admit the DPRK has just as much right to this nonsense as we do, before people die over a Twitter flame war.

Nice way to sum it up: people dying in a Twitter flame war. It's come to this. Headdesk.

Politicians who feign toughness are always the most brittle.

not limited to politicians.

sooooo....what happens after we "destroy north korea"?

do we give the land to the south, to china? i don't think china wants a NATO ally and big US fan right at their doorstep. is it internationally administered? if anything, it's probably super fertile since norks can't into agriculture and feeding themselves.

where do the millions of citizens go? it's certainly gonna be very difficult and lengthy to assimilate millions of developmentally stunted short brainwashed people. a task i doubt many are eager to take up.

do we try doughboy, or just have him hanged right there.....


i know i said this before, but it genuinely bugs me how little foresight i'm seeing at least here
