No wait!

A force of US bombers escorted at a very safe distance by fighters from South Korea and Japan have dropped bombs!

Oh, they dropped them on South Korea… and rushed the video out to the MSM.

Decisive action at last !

@Frederick:

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

I thought I just did.

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."

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.

@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:
http://english.seoul.go.kr/get-to-know-us/seoul-views/meaning-of-seoul/4-population/

Yes I know you have trouble reading, but I clearly said "Seoul Capital Region". If you are capable of understanding a simple wikipedia page, you can look at the side box where it specifies the population: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoul_Capital_Area

Population (2016)
• Metro[1] 25,514,000

Also, when we are talking about "in range of conventional weapons", most people with the minimum of intelligence would understand that to mean a geographic region, not a set of postcodes.

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.

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. For example, most Americans believe that their military strength is somewhere in about "balance" with other superpowers. In fact, US military spending is equal to the sum of the next 13 largest spending countries in the world. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Top_ten_military_expenditures_in_$_in_2013.jpg.jpeg#file)

The very next question that would occur to anyone of intelligence not in immediate denial of this facts, is why such a huge imbalance? And with a war machine economy so dependant on its military industry, what does it need to do to its population in order to sustain it?

The answer is the manufacture of enemies.

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.

Basically "liberals" whoever they are, don't see any point arguing with someone who thinks it is OK to ignore facts and believe whatever bazaar fiction happens to attract their attention on a given day.

Yes the earth is flat and drinking turpentine cures cancer. Keep walking until you find the edge. Take a few bottles of turpentine with you because you might find you run out before you get there.

Well it is an interesting example of what is driving the "alternative facts", "fake news" political environment in the USA which got a failure like Trump elected and which is destroying the reputation of the USA worldwide.

People think that freedom of speech means freedom to lie and freedom to believe and express whatever opinion you happen to like, regardless of the facts.

Yes you are right. People who believe 2 + 2 = 5 have just as much right to their opinion as people who believe 2 + 2 = 4 and no one should interfere with their right to express themselves and people should be more respectful of their views.

When the 2 + 2 = 5ers set up a protest against the 'politically correct' 2 + 2 = 4ers, they should be allowed to protest in peace and if the protest turns violent when a counter protest from the 2 + 2 = 4ers turns up, both sides are wrong. There are good people on both sides of the argument.

After all, when someone gives you $2 and then another person gives you $2, surely it is a good thing that you end up with $5 in your hand? That is why we voted for Trump.

No, it is the place where most of Google's software get's written and probably most of the software you are using right now.

Hahahaha read your own link moron. Look at "population" in the side bar.

Weird that you obviously don't know this basic stuff from general knowledge but you have to run off and google it and then misinterpret what you read.

Moron:

Seoul (/soʊl/; 서울; Korean: [s⁽ʰ⁾ʌul] (About this sound listen)), officially the Seoul Special Metropolitan City – is the capital and largest metropolis of the Republic of Korea (commonly known as South Korea).[1] Seoul is the world's 16th largest city,[10] and forms the heart of the Seoul Capital Area, which includes the surrounding Incheon metropolis and Gyeonggi province. The Seoul Capital Area houses about half of the country's population of 51.44 million people with 678,102 international residents.[11]

What is half of 51.44 million?

Yeah and Kim can wipe out Seoul, just across the border, with conventional weapons that the US could do nothing to stop. That's the death of 20 million people that would be blamed on the USA if they act before an actual attack on Guam. NK has said they will test fire missiles into the sea near Guam, not at Guam as your fake news sources obviously have fooled you into thinking. There is absolutely nothing the US can do about it but beg China and Russia to agree to more totally ineffectual sanctions at the UN. That is why the US fake news machine are distracting the trumptards with statue stories.

Yes, if you are blaming anyone but the corporate billionaires and super rich elite who pull all the strings, then they have succeeded in making you one of their gullible suckers. Amazing that the powerful usually get morons like the trumptards to actually blame the least powerful people in society, like immigrants, Muslims, refugees, unemployed, single mothers etc. as if they are trying to see how stupid people can really be.

Blame the Vatican is a new one. Maybe you should try blaming the International Red Cross or Manchester United Football club next. Or why not just blame aliens? That is pretty harmless.

Political conservatism is a psychological condition characterised by the employment of a wide range of strategies to try to avoid facing facts. The reality is that the world has never been a better place to live in its entire history than right now, and the primary way in which the quality of human life has advanced is by the discovery of new knowledge, of new facts.

Conservatives, being afraid of the future retreat into a nostalgic fantasy world of a fictional past and try to deny any inconvenient facts that bring about human advancement. As we saw recently in the USA, quite a lot of conservatives seem to think 1930's Nazi Germany was a great time and place to live.

Fortunately for sane people, but unfortunately for them, conservatives are always on the wrong side of history. Every battle they have fought, they have lost. Slavery got abolished, women got the vote, gay people can get married. But constantly losing is very stressful for conservatives. That is why I propose that anyone self-identifying as a conservative, be given immediate access to Cannabis for medical reasons.

I remember when I was a kid, if you mentioned "Silicon Valley" people would think you were talking about a place in California USA. Now that one is "Old" Silicon Valley and most people immediately assume you are talking about Bangalore.

Sorry, I wasn't being exclusive to the Jews. I meant everything Jews, Christians, Nazi's, conservatives, the political right and you believe is garbage.
