Though one person who does agree with your 10 million figure but not with your laughable and spectacularly ignorant assessment of the capability of conventional weapons is your hero Steve Bannon, when he said in an interview just before Trump fired him:

"There’s no military solution [to North Korea’s nuclear threats], forget it. Until somebody solves the part of the equation that shows me that ten million people in Seoul don’t die in the first 30 minutes from conventional weapons, I don’t know what you’re talking about, there’s no military solution here, they got us."

(http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/08/17/steve_bannon_rules_out_a_military_option_in_north_korea_and_contradicts.html)

I suppose you should call him up and give him your "part of the equation" since your are clearly much more of an expert on the subject than anyone in the White House advising the president.

You moonbats are hopeless.

I don't think we will have to  wait long to see who was right about Seoul.. because North Korea will be attacked sooner rather than later.

@Shami94:

I remember seeing a memorial with an image of Joseph Stalin when I went to Vienna to present a paper last year. They said it is one of the few left in the world and none in Russia.

I wonder if statues of other famous war criminals like Robert E Lee will one day be found only outside the countries of their atrocities. Are there any statues of General Lee outside the USA? It might be worth buying one and setting it up here in Bengalaru as a tourist attraction.

You are a fountain of misinformation.
There are rules, even in wars.  Nobody has even suggested that Robert E. Lee was a war criminal.

@TheNewt:

What is bleach bit? Does that mean they poured bleach onto the hard drive and lit it on fire, waited for some of it to melt, and then smashed it with a hammer?

When data is deleted from a hard drive, it is actually still there.  The only thing gone is the INDEX that points to the data.  The only way to be sure that data is gone is to replace it with other data - typically all 0's  Even then, that is not 100%, because like the human brain, the same data is often duplicated in several spots on the hard drive - for instance.. in a swapfile.

It's bad enough what Kathy Griffin has done up until now. 
She got so awful that it put a stop to her career. 
She then pleaded for forgiveness and made an apology.
Apologies are made for what the person who made the apology did.. not for what the victim (in this case Trump) did. 
Therefore, apologies are not something that can logically be retracted..
UNLESS you are Kathy Griffin! 
Once she realized she wasn't going to be forgiven… she retracted her apology! 
What a piece of shit Kathy Griffin is!

@Shami94:

It is of course a well known facts that the population of the Seoul Capital Area in range of NK conventional weapons is 20 million, as can be easily looked up online of you happen to have such limited general knowledge.

It is amazing how Americans are in such ignorance of general facts and then so vehemently deny them.

How many times do I have to correct you about this?  I think there is some kind of rule against blatantly posting factually false statements. 
Seoul has slightly over 10 million people.. not 20 million.  This is Seoul's OWN WEBSITE:

The moonbats are choking on this.. they can't stand that anybody would even hint at Trump being good. 
She also told them to get used to Trump because he's not getting impeached.

If you're a drug dealer or making a skin suit so you can dress up as your mother, pay your TV tax.  :cool2:

No guns with those pigs! 
My favorite line was "Take that tit off your head!"

@raphjd:

In the UK, the BBC is self regulating in all things.    Media laws made by parliament don't affect the BBC.    Parliament has virtually no powers over the BBC except "TV tax" rates.

The rest of the media is broken up into their groups; ie TV new, newspapers, etc.     Except as above, there are laws that govern truth and non partisanship in the media.

I don't know if this applies to cable TV or just normal TV.

Those UK TV taxes scared me… they have trucks that detect if you have a TV and they can come in and search for it and fine you, etc.  It's like having an automatic search warrant.    I wonder what happens if they come in looking for a TV.. and find a bag of heroin on the table?

@raphjd:

Arpaio is accused of being a racist because most of the people he held for illegal immigration were "brown".    Well, fucking duh!!!!

In 2009, 78% of illegals were from Central and South America.  Only 7% were clearly not Hispanic/latino.   The remaining 15% are unknown from the chart because any country that made up less than 1% of the total of illegals, were lumped into "others".    The only thing we do know about the "other 15%" is that Canada has between 69k and 73k illegally living in the US in 2009.

This is how the left can artificially claim that he's a racist.   Most of the people he arrests for violating immigration laws are hispanic/latino, because they are most of the illegals.

It would be racist if he was mostly arresting non hispanic/latino people for violating immigration laws.

++++

Racial profiling is always bad, according to the left, unless it's anti white.

After we get done putting up a wall to keep the rapists, murderers, drug dealers, and terrorists from flooding in from Mexico..   we should put up a wall in the north to keep those damned Canadians from smuggling in maple syrup, lumber, and milk!

@mhorndisk:

Is that supposed to mean that Conservatives don't exist in their reality anymore or something? They're delusions are so crazy now they can just pretend they've split the universe open and crawled into another dimension… They should no longer be the donkey party they should be the ostrich party and their symbol should be with their heads hiding in a big pile of POOP! LOL

What gets me is that this FBI guy David M. Hardy is still employed by the FBI!

Several decades ago, there actually was real news which people would access via ABC, NBC, or CBS on television, and in PRINT in their local newspapers.  The fake news was pretty much limited to "The National Enquirer" sold at the checkouts of supermarkets.  The Enquirer perfected the art of cherry picking news stories and celebrities and writing up fictionalized / sensationalized versions of the stories - complete with doctored images.

Then, cable TV exploded, and instead of just 3 tv news outlets with a half hour of real news per night.. you have a deluge of TV news running 24 hours a day.  Hmm.. how do you fill 24 hours of news broadcasting when you used to only have half an hour.. and also compete with a dozen other 24 hour news services?  I suppose that would force them to embellish the real news quite a bit, and dredge up stories and CREATE news, and comment on the news, rather than just report the news.  What a disaster!

As far as newspapers go.. it used to be that practically everybody had a subscription to their local newspaper, and actually read it.  Now, only a small fraction of people subscribe to their local newspaper, and even those that do rarely read it, and why should they when they have all the news that is the news - and isn't the news - running 24/7?

This is not unlike the situation in England, in which the infamous "Fleet Street" has been inundated with competing "news" periodicals for a LONG LONG time.  They compete by having the most salacious and outrageous headlines.  Truth is too boring.. so forget about that.  They even put blatant topless photos of women in their newspapers and make no apologies for it.  Why anybody would want to look at naked women is beyond my comprehension, but apparently some people like that.

So, news is dead.  That requires people to actually turn their brains on and filter out the fake news from the real news.  Unfortunately, most people are not capable of doing that!

There really should be laws, that are enforced, about publishing or broadcasting lies.  There are laws that cover libel, defamation, and slander.. but those laws are almost never enforced.  It's like speed limit laws which are rarely enforced.  Since virtually everybody drives well over the speed limit, those laws mean little or nothing.  Unless you are going at least 20% over the speed limit in a residential area, the odds of getting a speeding ticket are very low.  If they ever started enforcing the libel, defamation, slander laws,  they would have to build 10 times as many jails and courts.  Unless a crime is CRIMINAL, you can't get anything done unless you have deep pockets and go hire a lawyer to waste his time trying to sue someone in a civil matter.

David Hardy of the FBI's record division says:
"The FBI is declining to turn over files related to its investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails by arguing a lack of public interest in the matter."

It should be no shock that David Hardy is a carry over from the Obama regime.  
Anybody want to take a guess on whether David Hardy will be out of a job very soon?

No interest indeed…

@Frederick:

… the truth is now emerging.

:cheers: Can you tell me which forum that's in ?

What forum is that in?  I wasn't particularly referring to any forum.. but in regards to this site..  check out the "Politics & Debate" forum. 
I am perplexed what you are so happy about with your silly little celebration smiley / emoji.  Are you mentally ill?

@Shami94:

It is a very easy prediction that Trump will do absolutely nothing about NK as a result of the missile test over Japan. They will go begging China and Russia to agree to more ineffectual sanctions at the UN. They will make stupid speeches at the UN Security Council, and zip.

After all, the US knows that an attack on NK means that 20 million South Koreans living just across the border in Seoul will come under immediate attack from NK's massive array of artillery and rockets which could never be neutralised before massive loss of life in SK.

Just because NK is a "brutal dictatorship" at least according to US based MSM, it doesn't follow that they don't have the right to defend themselves from US aggression.

The US regularly flies nuclear armed bombers close to their borders and sails nuclear armed warships and submarines off their coast.

How many countries has NK attacked in the last fifty years? Zero. How many countries has the USA attacked in the last fifty years? 67.

Which is the only country to have ever used nuclear weapons against the civilian populations of another country?

NK, backed by China and probably Russia, have effectively neutralised US power and aggression in the region. They have successfully made the USA look pathetic and Trump look like a maniac.

It's bad enough when someone posts false comments.  It's intolerable that once they are corrected, they repeat their false comments.  I think you should go find another hobby other than to post misinformation in this group. 
Some people in this group sometimes post OPINIONS or SPECULATION which is fine.  But what you are doing is posting blatant false data.

Let me go over this again.  You are claiming that attacking North Korea would result in an immediate attack on Seoul, killing 20 million people with artillery shells and rockets.  Not that many years ago, Hezbollah in Lebanon launched rockets into Israel 24/7 for over a month - resulting in about 800 deaths.  Your estimation of the lethality of artillery and rockets is wildly exaggerated.  In WW2, the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed roughly 100,000 people in each city. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki

The population of Seoul is 10 million people, so it would be quite a feat to kill 20 million people in Seoul.

But beyond that… lets just assume that you are correct, even though you are completely wrong.
NK has been at WAR with South Korea since 1950 (67 years ago).  They are still at war, and currently in a state of "cease fire".  NK was allowed to build this massive stockpile of artillery and rockets that you are so fixated on.  Now, NK has developed ICBMs that can reach anywhere in the USA, and also they have developed nuclear bombs.  At what point is someone supposed to attack NK to stop them from nuking NYC?  or Los Angeles?    Do you think NK is suddenly going to say after 67 years  "oh shucks!  we was only teasing!"

As for NK having the right to defend themselves.  Nuclear weapons are not defensive weapons, they are offensive.  No nation on the world has used nuclear weapons since learning how dangerous they are for decades after their use because of radioactivity.  It is in fact illegal for North Korea to be developing those long range missiles and nukes.  You don't seem to be aware of that.

@TroopK:

Erm, does it matter. I don't think Obama is president any longer

While president.. Obama was able to cover his ass with a corrupt Attorney General, etc. 
Now that the Obama regime is mostly gone,  the truth is now emerging.

@mhorndisk:

Puh-lease whore. Selling that in your book. We got the creeps from YOU. Trump wasn't standing over your shoulder like the camera showed on SNL. He got the creeps from actually putting up with YOU! Knowing who you are! You're a despicable person. The Justice Department asked for your emails and you immediately hammered your servers, then said you made a mistake! How horrible of a human being you are. You fucked over poor people in Haiti who on top of being poor, faced a tragedy. That's one of the lowest things a human being can do. I can't really think of something much worse. Shame on all you who voted for that whore.

In that debate, the stage was rounded.. and the feeds from the cameras which included BOTH candidates in the same frame were chosen.  Trump had no control over that.    I think that is also the debate where CNN provided Hillary with the questions before the debate!  That is highly unethical on CNN's part.. and even MORE unethical that Hillary accepted that information and used it without reporting it!

Welcome to the Centennial Club….

I see that Flozen has once again downvoted my post the instant I post it… what a vagina.

Here's a slightly nordic video which is quite entertaining to compensate for "Debbie Downer" aka Flozen

I was thinking a few days ago that American Indians have been pretty much erased from history.
When I was a wee lad, there were all sorts of TV shows and movies depicting indians, as well as arts and crafts.  Kids used to play "cowboys and indians" all the time.  Now, we have become so politically sanitized that indians have been erased from history and forgotten.  
Roots is an exaggerated soap opera depiction of the harsh existence of that age.  Both white and black people would like to forget about the past as it relates to Roots.   Who would want to be reminded that their ancestors were slaves?   My ancestors were Vikings, who as vikings and via their descendants contributed quite a bit to human civilization.

So.. with all this politically sanitized garbage.. you can just forget about having any more "Sanford & Son", "Good Times", "Roots", or animated "Cosby Kids"  Hey hey hey!

@mhorndisk:

I really do get it. The corruption is thrown in our faces, but there are things we can do about it, and there are the good guys who we can support. It's most important that we support the good ones and elevate them.

The "good" ones are the ones that have contempt for the way that other cops behave.
However, since even the "good" ones are complicit with the actions of the bad ones.. that makes them all bad..  like the bad apple in a bushel of apples.
