Support NeoGAF

[Stabby McSter]

Take your time.

you should go to sleep

 

[littleworm]

Curious how China will respond. Or did they give their ok when Xi met with Trump.

At most they'll invade North Korea from the Yalu river, and set up a "humanitarian zone" to keep the refugees at bay and keep US/SK forces being directly on their border.

 

[Corpsepyre]

We are so fucked. Shit outta luck. Hardwired....to self-destruct.

Yup.

 

[Majine]

North Korea says stupid shit all the time, like they will nuke everyone.

Doesn't mean they will.

 

[Surfinn]

So where else will we fire our missiles after this?

 

[JordanN]

I'm getting those Bush flashbacks.

"My fellow citizens. At this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger."

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Don't worry WW3 isn't going to start.

 

[Dishwalla]

Why the fuck is this clown still in office??? god, stop procrastinating with booting him out already.

How should we go about doing this? Impeachment? Don't make me laugh.

 

[Xando]

I really hope this is just posturing. But this is Trump, so maybe he really wants to do it. :

The problem is that the i feel like these leaks put Trump into a corner and force him to double down and order the strike. Trump doesn't seem like the person to swallow his pride and back off.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Granting some freedom!

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

China sent a large number of soliders to reinforce the border against North Korea, so they at least seem to be preparing for it.

I doubt China is going to sacrifice itself for North Korea

My tinfoil says it could be collusion with Trump and China to try and topple the regime. Imagine succeeding with liberation in the 2010's

Sphere of influence and all.

 

[SodiumBenzoate]

Maybe it's a good time to take a vacation, SeoulGAF.

 

[Bobnob]

I dont know what to think, diplomacy doesn't seem to work with NK, eventually they will be capable of hitting the USA AND they keep threatening to.

 

[Envelope]

North Korea says stupid shit all the time, like they will nuke everyone.

Doesn't mean they will.

trump says stupid shit all the time

and then he goes ahead and does it

 

[Dabanton]

I don't think Trump would dare. His an egoistical ass but even he must know what firing on NK could unleash.

NK army would probably nuke South Korea as retaliation.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

well...here we go i guess.

see you guys on the other side!

At least Boston did it before the end.

 

[TheRealTalker]

What one should worry about is South Korea and other neighboring Asian countries being tossed into a dangerous situation


anyone else in the world is pretty much safe

 

[thehypocrite]

Prepare for the draft US GAF.

 

[guek]

Guys, NK can't nuke anyone at this point.

But a lot of South Koreans, including my extended family, might die because of Donald Fucking Trump's incompetence. Warmongering cocksucker...

 

[Poppy]

Just curious, because I know this is some super paranoia type bullshit. But how possible would it be for North Korea or Russia or whatever to nuke Brussels? Does Europe have any type protection against that kind of shit?

russia could probably destroy the entire world

 

[ArkkAngel007]

To note, a preemptive strike would be if there's enough "evidence" or suspicion if the test is not within the borders of North Korea.

 

[tbm24]

I don't believe this will happen. SK would never give consent to this over a Nuclear Test. Seoul would disappear and all the troops on the border.

 

[Effect]

I hope there are people down the chain of command for this that will say no if he's stupid enough to order something like this.

 

[Strike]

This is really, really dumb.

 

[Large Professor]

Crucial part missing from the OP "South Korea Must Sign Off" and I bet they are not going to.

 

[Lebon14]

Better drop this off here. It says level 4 (code blue) but I Believe we're closer to a 2.

NK just want to show how big their dicks are and Trump (and intelligence) is too fucking stupid to realise that. (Imo).

 

[BouncyFrag]

Better finish Persona 5 ASAP

I only just finished the first dungeon.

 

[Insane Metal]

Shit.

NK better not detonate that bomb tomorrow. Or things will get ugly.

 

[guek]

I don't believe this will happen. SK would never give consent to this over a Nuclear Test. Seoul would disappear and all the troops on the border.

I don't believe Trump cares.

 

[ironcreed]

Once again he gives no fucks about South Korea or anyone else in that area. No way in hell China said anything approaching an okay with any thought in this direction.

Yeah, China wants it resolved peacefully. But North Korea is insane and will not stop testing nukes. On the other side of the coin, Trump is a trigger happy bastard and I don't think that we are there with Japan and South Korea to just saber rattle this time. All indications are that we are about to do something... stupid.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

well...here we go i guess.

see you guys on the other side!

I hope you eat burritos with rice as your last meal friend

 

[Costa Kid]

Not a big fan of living on the west coast right now.

Are North Korea's nuclear weapons restricted to land or do they have them in subs too?

 

[iMax]

Just curious, because I know this is some super paranoia type bullshit. But how possible would it be for North Korea or Russia or whatever to nuke Brussels? Does Europe have any type protection against that kind of shit?

UK and France both have nuclear deterrent programmes and I assume there are detection mechanisms throughout the continent.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Here comes the draft. Can Trump voters be signed up automatically?

 

[MadeULook]

So, putting the trademark GAF hyperbole aside, what are the realistic scenarios if this does actually come to pass (which it probably won't)? I'm not exactly a expert in international politics but I'm curious.

 

[Jezbollah]

Even if this wasn't true, I cant help but wonder why the US has suddenly become so incredibly aggressive towards North Korea so soon after the Chinese Premier's visit to Washington. I suspect it's either calling a bluff, or the Chinese have basically said they dont care too much for NK at this time..

 

[ezrarh]

At least I'm in the middle of the US while Trump is in charge.

 

[Instro]

It's the final countdown

 

[DMONKUMA]

Welp it's been real ¯_(&#12484_/¯

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

And then Russia blindsides us because Trump got played for a fuckin fool.

 

[Effect]

I don't believe this will happen. SK would never give consent to this over a Nuclear Test. Seoul would disappear and all the troops on the border.

He doesn't care. SK will be the one dealing with the fallout of this and he couldn't care less.

 

[guek]

Are North Korea's nuclear weapons restricted to land or do they have them in subs too?

North Korea does not have nuclear subs or ICBMs >_<

 

[ironcreed]

Prepare for the draft US GAF.

LOL, thankfully I'm too old for that shit were it ever to be reinstated.

 

[iMax]

Crucial part missing from the OP "South Korea Must Sign Off" and I bet they are not going to.

Yep, didn't put the whole article in due to size but this is important. Editing now.

 

[Dierce]

This is such bullshit. I hope people don't seriously believe this. Orange turd is the biggest coward of all time, he would never go thought with this. His master Putin wont allow it.

 

[Rubenov]

And what is it in for the US to strike nK now? I mean, since 2006 they've conducted multiple nuclear tests already. That ship has sailed.

 

[Evil John Locke]

Well played

 

[Lautaro]

Guys, NK can't nuke anyone at this point.

But a lot of South Koreans, including my extended family, might die because of Donald Fucking Trump's incompetence. Warmongering cocksucker...

Seriously, people here are worried about the safety of the US or even getting drafted. The real danger is what SK may suffer.

 

[PK Gaming]

North Korea says stupid shit all the time, like they will nuke everyone.

Doesn't mean they will.

Are we? I thought they couldn't make nukes that could reach us.

I mean the world is definitely fucked is this goes down, but...

 

[littleworm]

So, putting the trademark GAF hyperbole aside, what are the realistic scenarios if this does actually come to pass? I'm not exactly a expert in international politics but I'm curious.

In the very near future, talking weeks and months, I would say very low. A war eventually? There is a decent chance.
