The White House is considering direct military action to counter North Korea
Source: Business Insider
In a dramatic shift from traditional policy, an internal White House review on North Korean strategy revealed that the option to use military force or a regime change to curb the threat of North Korean nuclear weapons was on the table, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
This review comes at the heels of a report claiming President Donald Trump believes the "greatest immediate threat" to the US was North Korea's nuclear program.
Recent provocations from the Hermit Kingdom, including the ballistic missile launch in the Sea of Japan and the assassination of Kim Jong Un's estranged half-brother in Malaysia, may have provoked this shift in the policy that have many officials and US allies worried.
"North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won't happen!" Trump tweeted in January. Several weeks later, North Korea conducted its missile test.

Trump needs a war. This is why he was proposing a huge increase in defense when we were at peace. He is going to start a war. We just need some country to volunteer to be Trump's international scapegoat.

as soon as it is attacked.
After all, he has the BEST people. I'm going to crawl under the covers now. 
He really is gonna get us all killed, isn't he?
Well, that's certainly one way of taking care of the GOP's pesky town-hall problem.
If so, and BLOTUS does a preemptive strike of some kind, what are the chances North Korea sends their nuke-tipped birds flying to Japan and South Korea?
and his actions, is to send out this "stuff" to deflect with what is on going issues with Russia crisis, that is becoming attainable.
He apparently has at least 3 cabinet individuals that have given aid and comfort to Russia, Jefferson Beauregard Session, Wilbur Ross , and Rex Tillerson, and even his lackey sons Eric and Donald Jr, and brother n law, Jared Kusher, and this doesn't include the White Nationalist Steven Bannon and Stephen Miller, and the sofa Queen Kelly-Anne CONway, or Reice Prebus, and then to add to this mix of nefarious acts of deceit and deception we have Ace Bannon / Mike Pence, and Eddie Munster / Ayn Rand Paul Ryan, and finally the turtle Mitch McConnell and the entire republican establish doing exactly what, nothing, looking like bobbleheads on the dash of car attacking the citizens of this country who have health care, when sitting behind this sexual predator, when he gave his campaign speech in the state of the right wing union white nationalist speech. And then the media coming out and saying he had good tone and looked presidential ---------------FU and the "normalization".
So he was at a dinner with some "friends" NOT in the situation room watching the event unfold in real time in Yemen, when 23 children and, one highly trained navy seal were killed in botched raid, and the loss of a 75 million dollar V-22 Osprey aircraft, and this doesn't include other so called expenses, and then he goes into a political platform and they all stand up and clap on the death----------amazing, not heads bowed or moment of silence and grief, but clapping for some political gain and that screen shots .
Then this "guy" likes to go down to Mar A Lago and burn thru $206,000 of jet fuel on a big "old" 747-200 per hour, and all that expenses to play golf, and have classified documents photographed while at a table, and have staff that has or has not been vetted for security purposes.
So now there is a leaked memo, that the guy that wants to make america great again, he is "thinking" of sending people into harms way, this is now became a CHARACTER issue. He has no business bringing on a war, he has no clue.
The above description is just a brief 40 day examination of a complete failure of leadership, and since zippy the clown wants to deflect and try and maybe do this, then everyone in this right wing Congress and this illegitimate president need to be taken to task. What would they do, if no one and I mean no one showed up to fight to go to war.
Then we as a people demand a vote in and from Congress to authorize this BS and to declare, war. This is not some half ass wars power act, this idiot will bring China into this conflagration.
Again, we the People demand that this right wing do nothing criminal congress present an Amendment to Declare War on North Korea, and this idiot must go before a joint house of Congress and ask for that resolution----------------if they are going to do this then accountability must be seen on that floor of the democratic republic and to follow the CONSTITUTION--------------again this is just amazing on the total lack of CHARACTER of what leadership entails.
And when he makes the phone call on his unsecured phone to the president of South Korea, is this clown going to say, since we are still in a state of war to protect you since 1951-1953 lets finish it now, you know I do have a beef with China taking jobs from us--------------------
