North Korea

dj in order for anyone to come to an informed decision about the use of nuclear weapons they need to have complete information about the result to life. I think it is no coincidence that CND became so popular in the 50s and 60s when people became aware of the consequences through the various films and government information like 5 in 1. We suddenly became aware of the insanity of it all.

I became aware through reading a book about the Japanese fishing boat Daigo Fukuryū Maru (Lucky Dragon) which was contaminated by US tests at Bikini Island.
....went on the second CND march and later ones.

Some of our friends at one point went off to the west of Ireland - upwind! Much of this is far too like what was happening then. Does trump have any idea of consequences?

Anya, Hope this is forwarded; my reply to you wasn't

Leeway meant Trump has followed other Presidents to allow those with training and experience form battle plans and carry them out; seemingly not with Obama, who micro-managed so much nothing was done.

Heard earlier today, a WH spokesman said the US electronically engineered the NK's missile's miss-fire and, they could keep spending money on more missiles, only to be disabled. Thought the last crack unnecessary.

Today I also found out anti-Trump protestors are paid by 'Liberals.' Wonder if a certain US Foundation is behind it.

I Spy with my little eye - Fake News I fear.
"Anti -Trump protesters being paid?"
You are suggesting by the Clinton Foundation?
No chance, more than enough prepared to do it for free. Probably even happy to PAY for the privilege!

Absolutely MawBroon. In fact, my American friends and their adult children are very happily protesting against Trump on a regular basis. I love the way 'liberals' is used as an insult

Does this mean that trump does not know where North Korea is?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if trump thought it was somewhere else....

Re protesters being paid - in the 60s it was called 'rentacrowd' and we knew it wasn't true then.

Rent-a-mob wasn't it?

That too!

Let's hope this is also fake news.....

We'll find out before the election, Alie.

Less than 48 hours ago we were seemingly heading for WWIII - all the talk of nukes and pre-emptive strikes.

Has the threat gone away or the news channels moved on to more pressing matters i.e. the General Election?.

Oh, some just thrive on impending doom and disaster, Riverwalk...

I wondered about that Riverwalk. I wonder how long it will be before trump gives May his blessing and support.
I wonder if she's already been in touch and told him not to!

Apparently there are 3 Americans under arrest at the moment Hope it isnt significant

Can somebody tell me exactly how many countries NK has bombed in the past 4 months? Then how many America has bombed ? WHO is the agressor?

Ana not a good time to bring up the French elections then?
That would certainly put some people in a panic.

North Korea is now threatening Australia and demanding that the country cut its ties with the USA. Those of us who live in the South Pacific are concerned.

With good reason, as North Korea is led by a megalomaniac who, like Hitler rules by terrorising his people to obtain complete submission to do what he wants when he wants. No elections for them! This makes him extremely dangerous and unpredictable. Haven't a clue how you deal with/contain this 'monster', but for certain he is super scary!

This is the third time I've tried to answer your question on 'leeway', following GN procedures.' My two earlier responses to you didn't make it .

Trump lets his top brass do their job(s). They have experience and expertise; unlike Obama, who micromanaged everything, drew 'red lines' in the sand which allowed Iran to build an arsenal. Fancy advising Iran "we'll send an inspection team in three months".

Fingers crossed my third reply to you makes it. Perhaps I should contact GNHQ.

Maybe not my business LuckyDucky but what do you mean my two earlier responses to you didn't make it
Who do you mean? Are you talking about a PM or is this connected to your comment to Anya last Tuesday 18 April?
Tell me to mind my own business if it is a private message, but you said something about "forwarding" (?)
Anya hope this is forwarded, my reply to you wasn't

I've not the foggiest either.

Well your post on Tuesday at 16.09 registered, LockyDucky, if you're talking about posts...

....could we get back to North Korea, then?
