  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If that is what you think to be the case, I guess prayers would be in order for mr. Trump.

The 25th amendment would probably be more effective.

I wouldn't trust the fake news media.

But the mainstream media is quite different. They use multiple sources, and they are available to hold each other accountable if they don't publish the truth.
Forget the media. Just listen to the words of Trump and his appointees.
I see no reason to trust any of the above.

A quick history lesson.....
Patton warned of the coming russian communism and wanted to take them out in ww2....or atleast push them back.....Eisenhower and others allowed Russia to ovrtake almost all of eastern europe.....
Quote
Crimea and Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldavia and Karelo-Finnish Republic.” Instead, history proves that Stalin was responsible for the murder and/or starvation of some 40 million Russians and Ukrainians during his reign of terror.
What is forgotten is that at the end of ww2
Stalin attacked Japan in mongolia northern China and took North Korea...
HE then established communism and Mao ts Tung in a civil war in China.......
Because our leaders woudnt listen to this crazy war monger General Patton. This resulted in 3 wars...

1. CHinese civil war...1945-1949...6 million dead
2. korean war.....1950-1954 involved 12 countries almost led to a 3rd world war...1.5 million chinese and N Korean 300,000. S Korean and American dead
3.mVietnam War.....1964-1973
2 million civilions died
1.1 million north vietnamese
250,000 south vietnamese
58,000 Americans
Quote from Patton
I'll say this; the Third Army alone with very little help and with few casualties, could lick what is left of the Russians in six weeks. You mark my words. Don't ever forget them... Someday we will have to fight them and it will take six years and cost us six million lives.

I think the optimal solution would be for the USA to nuke guam itself, claim that NK nuked Guam, then nuke NK. Then proceed to nuke Russia, China and Venezuela, and from there just eyeball it.

I guess there is little reason to accept what you state as opinion or fact. You have rejected the entire military and intelligence community, all top media, and the federal government. I don't know who you might give as sources.

You clearly have every right to any opinion, but I would think that it difficult for others to agree with you.

Do you see any reason to trust anybody?

There are many people who value ideology over facts, and Fox News attracts such people. I hope that does not define you. I hope you have some other way of determining who to listen to, other than to trust those who support your ideology.

So again, do you have reason to trust anybody concerning facts of world events?

Oh no, I'm dead serious. It would be the optimal way to ensure a swift eradication of the human race.
Some of us don't want to be eradicated.

There were plenty that surrendered when we showed up there. Remember how the tank commanders were told to turn their turrets in the opposite direction and toward the ground to signal their surrender? Sure, not all of them did, but an overwhelming number of them did.

And when they American forces passed by--because Rumsfeld did not provide for troops to disarm and garrison them--they went underground to surface later against the (mostly Shiite) current regime.

I don't propose for any country to be destroyed. There's enough of it going on all over the world already. War and death is not the solution.

DPRK has already been under de-facto continuous war for 67 years: the aggression of 1950-53 with 4 million dead, then economic and political sanctions, constant military threats in real life and rhetoric, you name it.

So, if there's an attack against DPRK, it'll be just a new stage. And that's exactly where it's going. DPRK will never ever budge, under any sort of external pressure. Therefore, the military attack against it is inevitable, just a matter of time. By the USA or whatever other force under control of the world powers.

The danger of DPRK to the current world order of slavery is DPRK's alternative strong ideology put into very successful practice.

That's what we always said about the USSR.

And now we have a generation that's barely heard of the USSR.

I say this, but to keep the rhetoric strong as well.
Keeping the Rhetoric Strong is the dumbest thing to do. Antagonizing NK doesn't do U.S. any favors.

You really want to Escalate a Dictator with nukes higher?

Those who want to live don't always get what they want. Understood.

But I sure hope those who want all to be eradicated don't get what they want.

The only effect of strong rhetoric is to encourage the ignorant and provide justification to the enemy.

Even in American courts, if you've voiced your intention to harm me, it only bolsters my claim of self defense when I shoot you.
