State of the world .

Oh my ...what a mess.
50 or so cruise missiles into Syria (with little or no effect) ... that super bomb into Afghanistan ... success yet to be determined (minimal is my guess)

Very confusing times indeed, what a great way for a failing U.S president to distract public opinion, than by trying to start a war (or two).... nice.

China is now massing troops etc on the border of north Korea ... coal trade is suspended, I think it's going to be all on very soon.

If I were Mr. Xi (Chinese president) I would be doing the same ... move as much as you can to the border ... and wait.
When the first shot is fired, by who ever (and it won't be China) push south ... hard and fast.

Remove the present regime, open the border to South Korea, and let those who want to go, leave (within a time frame) and then close it off ...China has a new border.
Yes, there will be consequences of course, and it depends on who shoots first ... but I think South Korea will take a hit sadly ... and worst case, Japan, and maybe Taiwan.

The big thing is timing .... if Kim bad haircut lets one go first, chances are, that the U.S would retaliate quickly .... ooh , I have it all my head, but I won't have time to put it down here ...

Let's just hope that common sense prevails ... yeah right .

[Splitpin]

Just an Addon ... If I were Kim, whatever ... I would be booking a plane out of there real soon.
Times up, you horrible little man.... if that's what you are.

Next week I'm moving to the Planet Zorg, in the outer reaches of the Constellation of Alpha Centauri.

I'm taking my Honda Cruiser with me, with its saddle bags loaded up with some gravity, and atmosphere, ....and some cheese sandwiches...just in case its needed.

Its getting far too busy down here!.... ....!

Paul.... ... ...!

P.S...and a bottle of California Napa Valley red Vino... ...!

All this happens cos people sit on there hands .. look at the idiot Syrian dictators comments , Its a movie set ... then the media move in again and squash it, those Tomahawks could have been easily better targeted ... they were doing well in the 1991 Gulf war ... again it to much politics and media, ya don't just scratch ya balls and say you have done something in Gesture ... go in and use the weapon, its half ass'd warning shot almost .. the ole 1938 white paper dribble , don't pretend these weapons are inaccurate and if they send another 50.

Look what happen in Bosnia in 1995, the world was told it wasn't happen, no genocide .. come 1997/8 WHOOP S Oh bugger how did we miss this ... COS media was lead to the truthful story ... ERRRRR Wrong they had Slobodan Milosevic troop filming there murder for prosperity and party jokes, they then get Slobby chops in court and that was a rude awakening ... especially when he turns to the Judges in the world courts and say " SEE I WAIST YOUR TIME" in a real arrogant way ... to much hand sitting , that is what weapons are for, kick the media out and just do the job.

[Ian Warren]

Instead of the cameras going directly to the obvious "Would someone please save the children" and use that as the liberals anti fodder, everyone now saying "think of the children" and then you get the news people TV3 or what ever LOOK at you as if you can do something about it from the TV box , nothing confusing about that, then when they do a limit strike then people complain about and some say "Oh they should not have done that" then to finish it off you get the anti war people who then turn around and say there is a better answer 'LOVE' ... yeah that is not confusing ... that is shear ignorance and un-educated and won't back damn diddle swat, yet want action .... BLOODY TREE HUGGERS ..

I'D SAY SEND IN EVERYTHING ! and ask questions later that is what war is all about ! .. look at the world as if it is a country, you have rules and laws , if you break them LOCKUP .. trouble is today you also get human rights people who are on the side of the convicts , but you go International and say they have borders good and well and good , don't send the media in .. let them go for it ! HEAR NO EVIL SEE NO EVIL .

I've been thinking about a sweepstake here on NZFF -- when will trump first use a nuke in anger? Put me down for early June... I truly believe it'll be sooner rather than later.

[Ian Warren]

Nah .. be the 'MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS' directly into "Kim Jill Ill Ping Pongs" pocket , so strange he's aloud his nice little western toys were his 24 million or so population have to sing praises and and all that jibber jibber hubber jibber Jabas , we in wonder fool world of freedom

[Splitpin]

Im with you there Rob ... things are going bad fast.
This nutbar trump will be the end of us .... end of times.
Once all the pieces of this sick puzzle are in place , its good night nurse, and then , sanity will take over.
Just saying.

[Ian Warren]

Won't go that far .. if dose it would be quick to stop North Korea .. China has something to really worry about being so close to the border , you don't know the yield of the North Korean weapons nor would they have a stock.

Dangerous little Boys playing with their dangerous toys.

I often wonder what the World would be like if it only contained Women, instead of idiotic Men?..... ...!

Would they just slap each other's faces, and pull each other's hair out, when they got angry?.... ...!

...instead of blowing the World up with weapons!.... ....!

We never get to hear a "Woman's" take on all this "military stuff" which goes on!... ...!

I suspect that all the Ladies on my Estate would quite happily go "Shopping", (like me), instead of shooting the cr*p out of each other!

I mostly despair of "Human Beings".... ...!

Paul.....need some more stuff from Sainsbury's.... ...!

[Splitpin]

Paul .... "Zorg" .... can come along as well.

[Fozzer]

Paul .... "Zorg" .... can come along as well.

You are very welcome, Marty.... ....!

I organise similar trips to coincide with annoying events like; The Olympic Games, Football, Cricket, Tennis, Golf, Darts, etc, etc, matches...

...the chance to get away from it all and enjoy the peace and tranquillity on the Planet Zorg, (In the Constellation of Alpha Centauri).

...bring a bottle... ...!

Book a trip in advance.....It can be very popular at the time!

Fozzer's Interplanetary Tours.

Paul.... ....!

Those dangerous little toys were invented for a good reason , North Korea had better be careful , why a country that size wanted Nukes any look at the Kim Ill family , if dose escalated they are going want to be careful as well four large Chinese citys including the capital .. course if something dose go bang the upper atmosphere cover China and moves into Russia , last thing you want is Women in as well ... B!tch fight ... China will been doing there uymost .. thing is let these terror countries have a few feet next they want more .... what do ya think happened in beginning of WWII. the rest is history.

What is of major concern is the apparent disconnect between the Commander in Chief and his intelligence community. Trump seems to rely on Fox television for his information.
He just seems to lie and U turn at the drop of a hat and with total impunity. I am hoping he will be impeached either due to the Russian saga or for fraud in connection with Trump "University". Then hopefully someone with more political nous will take control. I think even most Republicans would vote to impeach him.
This penis waving episode will come to pass but it is clear that China will play a pivotal role in any long term resolution. Trump will not let Nth Korea possess ICBMs and that is thought to happen within 2 years.

Yeah I think they would have to , four major cites a the border to North Korea , Changhan, Shenyang , Harbin and the Capital Beijing, if they really get in there that would really give the Chinese some real brownie points to the Western World.

So true , good old Iron Lady , take no shite , that was great decision and got results, caused the Argie propaganda spinners to really go into full drive with a loada bull to the poplation, then junta soldier started shooting themselves in the feet to get off the battle line .. one tough army NOT!
