Much as SK might want to re-unify with NK, it would be, as others have pointed out, a socio-economic disaster. How do you re-integrate millions of brainwashed communists into a free and democratic capitalist society? Might as well let the Chinese have them; China already has much better nukes than they'd seize, and would have better luck bringing the Norks into the fold (assuming China even wants a bunch of non-Chinese added to their rolls). ='[.]'=

Like mass sterilizations!!?

Edit: Seriously though this kind of thinking is how hitler and the national socialist obtained the 'legal authority' that led to the final solution.

First demonize and villain-ize(!) a given segment of the population - scary brown people are taking our jobs, resources and are more likely to be criminals!!. Then use the power of the state to systematically to suppress them and take their rights, don't even need to they're already illegal! Next comes mass deportations. This is where things got complicated for the nazis as no one would take all their jews and so they came up with the 'final solution' to their jew problem.

Anyway, sure come by legal means but at the same time don't sensationalize the 'threat' illegals pose.

Some stuff that I've read gave me the impression that China was a country that is always trying to expand their territory. Now that makes me wonder, why did they never got hold of NK? It is because there is not much there worth snatching?

So, how do the Trump supporters in here see the whole going to war with N Korea and Syria thing? Happy that Trump is president? Good because we all die if he attacks N Korea because Kim Jong wants to use nukes anyways.

If we all lived within 600 miles of their launch facility, he could attempt firing a missile at a few of us. China is already mobilizing their troops (150 thousand)on the border with NK, and issuing ultimatums to NK.

China will likely handle it themselves, because having US forces in NK could allow NK and SK to unite which would be a political, military and economic disaster for China.

I've had the above grin on my face for so long, that the muscles in my face have to force themselves into a somewhat more neutral expression. People IRL have even made remarks about me seeming more cheerful and jubilant. My response is: It's the election. Couldn't be happier that Trump won. Couldn't be happier that left is in tears over it. I'm pumped!

Gorsuch on the Supreme Court? HELL YES. That puts a quick and abrupt end to the bullshit from activist judges in the lower courts, and Trump is likely to win a Supreme Court challenge for his immigration executive order now. They might even determine he has the authority to do something even tougher! And it's extremely likely 1-2 more justices resign, or die of natural causes, in which Trump can just appoint another strict constitutional judge to the court again. Find someone in their mid 40s, who we're likely to get 30 years out of.

When you say: "You lost!! Get over it!!" it just sounds like you want a safe space. Too bad dude, I won't leave just to make you comfortable.

I recall Obama's famous quote to House Republican Whip Eric Cantor in 2009 shortly after his inauguration “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won."
