You can't starve out N. Korea as the elite and the military will always be well fed. The villagers will die in the fields by the tens of thousands with no effect on the ruling regime.
...NK can grow its own food. We're mainly talking about weapons, techs, and last but not least, oil. Their technological development depends on those three.
Fatima: You misapprehend my comment. I merely pointed out that Judge Nap is not some traitor that we should cast off to CNN, rather, he is simply falling back on his philosophical beliefs. That should not be construed as taking one side or the other on the issue at hand. But I understand that populist comments are currently in trend so carry on.
Jack Flash ... No, you are judgementhal...many of us feel the same, with all due respect to our president...but the language used..or the way said just was too strong...just think a bit...very imperative how you send msgs... Except the girl from Fox maybe she should refrain from being opiniated because she is to present her dialog without adding...
Napolitano stated that we can't go in and take out innocent North Koreans. What he doesn't realize is that after years of brainwashing to hate America and that we are evil, there is no such thing as an innocent North Korean. They will be just like the Japanese in WW2. They will fight to the death.
Let Kim run his mouth, it's just hot air. Meanwhile, the best policy is 1. Keep your eyes open 2. Keep your ear to the ground 3. Prepare for the worst 4. Keep your mouth shut Any counter threat will only inflame the situation.
Look at all these Trump supporters who were saying Hillary was going to rush into war (she might have) and that Trump was better and now he's ready to start a war with a madman with nukes and they're all FUCK YEAH!!
Judge, we respect you, but this is not your issue. Diplomacy is not the answer at this time. If Hillary Clinton were the President, we would indeed enter into years of fruitless negotiations with North Korea and by then their nuclear capabilities would have been perfected and we would lose several million American lives. This is a Munich moment and Trump is right to threaten North Korea with complete destruction. There is no time for appeasement.
He's a kid punk He needs someone to discipline his butt. Letting him continue with his tratrums will only get worse to the extent he would do something.
A gun to our head? We can intercept their missiles with our technology and if they happen to be the aggressor then we have actual justification to use military force. What's your genius idea? Pre-emptively nuke a city filled with innocents, because "'Murica!"? Yeah that's a good idea, then we can be the only country to ever actually use nuclear weapons in war. And we'll have done it not once, not twice, but three times!
Patrick Hostis It's funny that you ignored Ryan's legit points. But what what do I know? I'm just triggered, not like the man panicking about an irrelevant nation like North Korea while completely ignoring the real threat arising from a defensive nuclear equipped China. If you must fight, fight smart. It makes the big booms do better if you actually know what target you're supposed to hit. However, the most righteous of victories is one where no fighting happened. It means that you achieved the goal of war (ostensibly peace) without wasting the life of a good soldier or spending a necessary dollar. Isn't that what we all want? Or do some of us here value feeling good about ourselves over the lives of others? I do not mind war, but I loathe a _senseless_ war. Ask the veterans amongst you, ask the ones who served in Korea before. Ask them if what they want is even more bloodshed on that land or if they want the people to be free from the worry that they will be killed by either the regime they despair under or the Americans they have been taught would be happy would to slaughter them. I am saddened to say in this very comment section, not under this poster but certainly on other's, many have shown themselves all too eager to fulfill the role that the Communist propagandists wrote out for them. Eager to ignore civilian casualties in pursuit of empty glory. I say we must ignore our baser instincts, and act on our higher logic, and on our stronger morality. If we strike, let us strike with mercy. But for now, it is a time for an art as ancient as warfare but is the less famous of the two brothers: diplomacy. Sun Tzu included it in the Art of War for a reason, and it sure as hell weren't for legal reasons.
Patrick Hostis >go to your safe space >literally muted those you disagree with It's almost good trolling really. Too bad I'm currently convinced you're serious.
Those who fail to remember the past, are forced to relive it. Hitler was ignored by most of Europe as he built a huge army, and ranted and raved about how he'd strike out at the World and Conquer it. If Europe would have stuck Hitler early on, he could have been stopped easier, and a lot fewer people would have died. I say the unchecked lunatic always does far more damage, when allowed to muscle up, then go full bore. We may have to strike them, and some lives may be lost in North Korea. But compared to allowing him to actually launch Nuclear Weapons, at the USA, Japan, South Korea, or Guam, it's the more sane option.
Rather the enemy's people suffer than a broader population. If it has to come to that. Recall it was a mere numbers calculation when they ended war with Japan. We are at the point we ran out of road to kick the can.
In 1941 while we negotiated, we were attacked. Let California be destroyed and we will still think about what to do. The judge has no idea what and who nuclear weapons take out.
"If we are going to use greater force and power than the world has ever seen, he means greater than Nagasaki and Hiroshima and he can't possibly mean that! He's not going to kill innocent North Koreans" OMG! This is EXACTLY what I was saying almost word for word yesterday! Damn...I'm good! :D Somehow this inescapable logic seems completely lost on Trumpeters.
Waite, waite, Trump will fire a shit ton of million dollar cruse missles at an airfield and take out a biplane that needs an oil change, but leave the airfield operational. That'll show'em!
A strike on North Korea is a strike on Seoul, South Korea. Anyone that argues for war with North Korea just don't know what they're talking about, or know the history of America interventionism. Iraq and Vietnam is a perfect example.
The language is not over the top. There are no innocent North Koreans. Everyone knows what the president should do, the problem is there is only one President and he will do whatever it takes to protect the USA. I suppose some think that the President should wait until we lose hundreds of thousands or more before acting. Damned if he does, Damned if he doesn't.
Why the bleep does anyone worry about Trump being bellicose. There has been a notable absence of deterrence to this point thanks to Obama and predecessors. It should be apparent to anyone that diplomacy has not worked. At this point he needs to understand that the threat of our military intervention is real. I would argue that the rhetoric is the only thing that might deter that Korean nut ball and prevent a military response. Talking sweet nothings won't do it. Judge Nap should stick to court rooms where language can have consequences that can be controlled.
So a World Leader just threatens a US territory with over 200,000 people living in Guam and a US military base and he says to Trump to watch the language? are you kidding me !!
When did "fire and fury" become code for nuclear weapons? Incendiary bombing of Japan in WWII caused more death and destruction than both atomic bombs together. The Judge should stick to legal issues.
Really? You think he meant we will drop some incendiary bombs when they have nuclear weapons. You know he didnt mean that. Your not that dumb. We wouldnt have dropped those types of bombs on Japan if they had nuclear weapons..duh.
I really have no idea just what President Trump meant and neither do you. It may be bluster; it may not. But my point is that the Judge shouldn't make such assumptions, and certainly not make them such that they fuel the insanity of the Left. The prudent thing to do is to wait to see what NK does; it's not like they're going to catch us sleeping on this one.
I agree with the Judge on this point, I thought the same thing as soon as Trump made that statement. I think Trump was just exaggerating because that's what he does but in a case like this he needs to be careful about the words he uses.
Nap is wrong! Trumps chosen words were exactly right. Simple flowery words that THEY use and can understand. It's about time a President said them back to an enemy instead of using 'proper, measured, dignified' speak.
A couple of things. No 1: The only reason why we give a damn about NK is because we have provided SK and and to some extent Japan our guarantee to defend them from an attack by NK. NK is correct to be scared because of what the US did in Libya and Iraq. This is all about deterrence. China/Russia both have deterrence when it comes to the US. NK wants that as well. No 2: China wouldn't mind if NK pushed into SK. No 3: China does not want a refugee crisis coming from NK so they will never support a large military strike from the US. No 4: China does not want US troops on its border so it will defend NK or at least create another border somewhere inside NK while they simultaneously secure NK nuclear weapons No 5: Chinese leadership is up for re-election so NK picked a perfect time to act like a buffoon knowing that China will have support it's communist brother. Message to China : If you want to act like one of the big boys it's time to put your NK dog down.
Its not "over the top" , its unfortunately the reality of the situation we find ourselves in. It may very well be an unwanted necessity. When a bully keeps pushing and shoving, you reach a point where you have to do something. We are at that point.
Judge Napolitano is so correct. Un hopes for a reason of threat and threatens Guam then, and it escalates. And suddenly war words are written and spoken! Then hell breaks out on earth, they all get into the brawl of nukes Getting out of control guys, back off war talk please before the world goes dark. Lets get back to taking care of mother earth & climate
You said at the top Judge...you are a legal guy, not Military, so you might not be the right person to ask, you said....well, you're not....stay in your legal wheelhouse, you do well there.
Excuse me your honor but I don't think being called a crazy nut is helpful and could in fact be more provocative than a statement of our strength and ability to strike North Korea.
We're stuck between two delusional despots threatening each other.
Somebody has rotten egg on their face
You can't starve out N. Korea as the elite and the military will always be well fed. The villagers will die in the fields by the tens of thousands with no effect on the ruling regime.
...NK can grow its own food. We're mainly talking about weapons, techs, and last but not least, oil. Their technological development depends on those three.
Trump needs to stay on vacation. Let the adults handle this situation.
A permanent vacation in a retirement home hopefully.
MattP 81 lol lol lol
Not sure which one is more crazy, I betting it's Trump!
Kuma San You clearly lost that bet. I hate trump but even I know Kim is crazier
Judge Napolitano is one wise man if you ask me.Probably the smartest on Fox. He speaks his opinion and 90% of the time i agree w him.
Indeed.
But Trump isn't bluffing.
I don't think it's over the top, it's deserved
NK'S threats need to stop. it is getting to the point that other nations will feel they can also threaten and perhaps even attack the U S.
Ex's Gaming Channel ...
And usa needs to stop ordering others...because it does not work anymore...get updates to know before talk fullish...
other nations threaten the u.s because we look weak as fuck with a president like trump
@Ex's,Exactly
Judge Nap is losing it. Maybe time for him to move to CNN
Jack Flash: Judge Nap is a through-and-through libertarian. His thoughts are directly on point with that philosophy. Nothing of a surprise.
Jack Flash he sounds like a human being with a conscience.
Fatima: You misapprehend my comment. I merely pointed out that Judge Nap is not some traitor that we should cast off to CNN, rather, he is simply falling back on his philosophical beliefs.

"You're dealing with a crazy man here."
No, we're dealing with 2 crazy men here.
😂😂😂😂.....I LOVE TRUMP TROLLING NORTH KOREA WITH DRAMATIC WORDS LIKE KIM JON IL DOES
Let Kim run his mouth, it's just hot air.
Meanwhile, the best policy is
1. Keep your eyes open
2. Keep your ear to the ground
3. Prepare for the worst
4. Keep your mouth shut
Any counter threat will only inflame the situation.
"you're dealing with a crazy man here" ... is she talking about Trump?
A bad child needs a whipping or they may wind up hurting others !!!! I stand by Trump 100% in the way he is treating NK !!!!
Pinkie Bo treating who? Trump is a man child and still bitching about the media
Support President TRUMP 100%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Look at all these Trump supporters who were saying Hillary was going to rush into war (she might have) and that Trump was better and now he's ready to start a war with a madman with nukes and they're all FUCK YEAH!!

He's a kid punk He needs someone to discipline his butt. Letting him continue with his tratrums will only get worse to the extent he would do something.
How about we put Trump and Kim in Sumo wrestling match!!!
I think Trumps language is what should have been used 50 years ago.
I don't take Napolitano seriously anymore.
Why is Fox asking the Judge about N Korea; am I the only one who thinks that's just weird?
Napolitano stepped in into his stupid zone.
Da L. You step into the stupid zone every morning when you wake up
" we're dealing with a crazy man..?" correction. we are dealing with two
Grow a pair Napolitano! Kim has a gun to our head, what should we do? Send him flowers?
A gun to our head? We can intercept their missiles with our technology and if they happen to be the aggressor then we have actual justification to use military force.
What's your genius idea? Pre-emptively nuke a city filled with innocents, because "'Murica!"? Yeah that's a good idea, then we can be the only country to ever actually use nuclear weapons in war. And we'll have done it not once, not twice, but three times!
Good you fucking hillbillies are stupid as fuck
Patrick Hostis It's funny that you ignored Ryan's legit points. But what what do I know? I'm just triggered, not like the man panicking about an irrelevant nation like North Korea while completely ignoring the real threat arising from a defensive nuclear equipped China.

No, I muted all you cry babies because you are too damn ignorant. Go to your safe space, & once again, go to hell.
Patrick Hostis
>go to your safe space
>literally muted those you disagree with
It's almost good trolling really. Too bad I'm currently convinced you're serious.
This is the first time i have ever disagreed with Judge Napolitano.
Most be the first time he told the truth.
Those who fail to remember the past, are forced to relive it. Hitler was ignored by most of Europe as he built a huge army, and ranted and raved about how he'd strike out at the World and Conquer it. If Europe would have stuck Hitler early on, he could have been stopped easier, and a lot fewer people would have died. I say the unchecked lunatic always does far more damage, when allowed to muscle up, then go full bore. We may have to strike them, and some lives may be lost in North Korea. But compared to allowing him to actually launch Nuclear Weapons, at the USA, Japan, South Korea, or Guam, it's the more sane option.
Anytime you bring up Hitler to try and make your point, you already lost the argument.
Do you want to start WWIII? See your children fry? I hope not.
Rather the enemy's people suffer than a broader population. If it has to come to that.
Recall it was a mere numbers calculation when they ended war with Japan. We are at the point we ran out of road to kick the can.
Everyone is more pissed at Trump than Kim Jong Un. Fucking bizarre
I'm scared for South Korea 😰😰😰😰😰😰
Trump is a Real Estate Developer / President..He can turn North Korea into a golf course ...
In 1941 while we negotiated, we were attacked. Let California be destroyed and we will still think about what to do. The judge has no idea what and who nuclear weapons take out.
"If we are going to use greater force and power than the world has ever seen, he means greater than Nagasaki and Hiroshima and he can't possibly mean that! He's not going to kill innocent North Koreans"
OMG! This is EXACTLY what I was saying almost word for word yesterday! Damn...I'm good! :D Somehow this inescapable logic seems completely lost on Trumpeters.
Let him be "encouraged". Haven't you ever read Sun Tzu!
"Over the top" is what North Korea's actions have been. Trump is right on.
Trumps language was spot on. " An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last." -Winston Churchill
Judge is getting soft
Gotta be a Democrat.
Trump once asked--"if we have nuclear weapons, why don't we use them'? Trump is not going to intimidate Kim. He is playing with fire.
Waite, waite, Trump will fire a shit ton of million dollar cruse missles at an airfield and take out a biplane that needs an oil change, but leave the airfield operational. That'll show'em!
A strike on North Korea is a strike on Seoul, South Korea. Anyone that argues for war with North Korea just don't know what they're talking about, or know the history of America interventionism. Iraq and Vietnam is a perfect example.
So we're supposed to baby North Korea?! Bullcrap!! Hit them hard!!!
I'm with Trump. Gotta be boisterous with this fool Kim and call his bluff. Do work Trump!
The language is not over the top. There are no innocent North Koreans. Everyone knows what the president should do, the problem is there is only one President and he will do whatever it takes to protect the USA. I suppose some think that the President should wait until we lose hundreds of thousands or more before acting. Damned if he does, Damned if he doesn't.

Judge Nap should stick to court rooms where language can have consequences that can be controlled.
oh so it's ok for them to threaten us but it's wrong for Trump to give it right back....
Fire, fury and power is a code word for Taco bowl, KFC and two scopes of ice cream.
So a World Leader just threatens a US territory with over 200,000 people living in Guam and a US military base and he says to Trump to watch the language? are you kidding me !!
lifes to beautiful for this bs
THE HOST LADY HAS ABOUT 100 TIMES THE COMMON SENSE NAPPY DOES.
Trump's obviously bonkers. We already knew that.
Atlantafried you got beat up a lot as a kid I bet.
Leroy D. Griffin I think you would win that bet.
Rosina it's not just about the US and N Korea if anything starts. History..,
Rosina Julia bull shit it's not
Really! What is the leader of North Korea? He's the one Effing bonkers.
What do ya want trump to say Nap, tell North Korea they look pretty.
judge nap has lost it - I gave up on him when he first talked trash on America's greatest president - Trump
I am worried about the innocent people of South Korea... They are Not negligible. They have to be protected somehow...
Trump is unhinged. It's time for him to go.
Trumps invoking taunts because he knows Kim will see it
Judge is more or less saying let them have nukes. Trump is doing the right thing.
I don't think it is a bad thing for trump to come off a little "crazy" in this situation. Being nice/and appeasing certainly hasn't stopped NK.
Napolitano is completely wrong. You have to call Pyongyang's bluff. They view diplomacy as weakness.
KEEP PEACE
The sad fact is both sides in this conflict are dealing with crazy men at the top.
He meant, Like we have not seen "in awhile..".
significant analysis of the situation reveals crazy>crazy
I'm tired of weak people like this in America 😭
I heard Trump's message, and never once thought about nuclear weapons. He was just trying to act tough.
If Kim doesn't hear booo, then he will expect the worse and pre empt.
And this is news how? Everything about Trump, including his hair is over the top.
Over the top rhetoric, trying to force a solution. Take POTUS seriously, not literally.
for a judge he might be just OK but as a president he would be weak and scared
This is exactly the type of language North Korea understands. I'm glad Trump is using this type of language, because it is all the nut in NK gets.
I thought Slick Willy ended North Korea's nuclear program ?
"and again you're not a military guy..." then why are you asking him about this?
Judge opinion is crazy, there is no Diplomatic solution for this.
It is getting close to time to throw everything at him, down to the kitchen sink.
trump never said nuclear we don't need it
When did "fire and fury" become code for nuclear weapons? Incendiary bombing of Japan in WWII caused more death and destruction than both atomic bombs together. The Judge should stick to legal issues.
Really? You think he meant we will drop some incendiary bombs when they have nuclear weapons. You know he didnt mean that. Your not that dumb. We wouldnt have dropped those types of bombs on Japan if they had nuclear weapons..duh.

Nappy is a voice of reason so don't reject him outright. We need a variety of point of view to see this from multiple angles.
Its not "over the top" , its unfortunately the reality of the situation we find ourselves in. It may very well be an unwanted necessity. When a bully keeps pushing and shoving, you reach a point where you have to do something. We are at that point.
i think the judge is trying to get a job at CNN
Trumps looks weak with this language. US doesn't need to go to their level. Silence would be more effective.
Vilonious Lee Kennedy spoke to the Russians & Cuba the way Trump talks to NK? Haha. You're kidding. I'll just go with what Tillerson says.
Trump is as crazy as Kim
I understand the Judges view it sounds strong ,but Trump knows things that we don't.
dave4708 yep. He's like a smart dude
fatboy dies first, no matter what else, he dies first, that's what Donny's saying
Judge Napolitano is so correct. Un hopes for a reason of threat and threatens Guam then, and it escalates. And suddenly war words are written and spoken! Then hell breaks out on earth, they all get into the brawl of nukes Getting out of control guys, back off war talk please before the world goes dark. Lets get back to taking care of mother earth & climate
And Iraq had WMD
Non-military people discussing military matters. LOL. This is what you get.
What crazy nut they both there ya go Fox you created him!!!
Korea is a great place just to say to people....there is special people who leave over there.
You said at the top Judge...you are a legal guy, not Military, so you might not be the right person to ask, you said....well, you're not....stay in your legal wheelhouse, you do well there.
Excuse me your honor but I don't think being called a crazy nut is helpful and could in fact be more provocative than a statement of our strength and ability to strike North Korea.
You cant strike him milatarily, because he will launch on south korea.
Just like John McCain, Judge Napolitano is losing his mind. Age has its limitations. Go away
Hey, Judge.....STICK to Legal Matters.....and leave the MILITARY issues to President Trump and his COMPETENT Generals.
Tired of him running his mouth about Trump. Nobody cares about your opinions Judge---go to CNN.
Pray for the men and women in uniform to be protected by the blood of Jesus Christ
sina mumuta I'm praying for trump to have a stroke.
Diplomatic channels are the reason we're here now😎😎😎😎
