Trump sends 7,500 Marines and sailors to threaten North Korea







By Gary;

Yes North Korea is run by a crazy ass Commie bastard, but President Trump needs to take the rhetoric down a few notches.

A little bit of Theodore Roosevelt's "Speak softly and carry a big stick" is in order.

Instead the Military-Industrial Complex has pushed Trump to send the USS Theodore Roosevelt, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.  

Admiral Steve Koehler, a strike group commander on the ship, said the 7,500 sailors and marines on the vessel are “ready as a war fighting force”.

What a dumb-ass.

So a few thousand Marines and sailors are supposed to scare the Korean People's Army (KPA) which has 1,106,000 active and 8,389,000 reserve and paramilitary troops, making it the largest military institution in the world.

The fact of the matter is we cannot invade North Korea. Leave aside they have nukes. The last time we invaded we saw Communist China send in 1,350,000 troops and drove the allied armies back south.

As for air power, that option is nearly worthless.  Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, North Vietnam and Afghanistan's Taliban all stood up against air power for years.

Simply, white hot rhetoric and actions on our side only stirs the pot and backs the moron Kim into a corner where he might lash out.

For good or ill the only card in the Korean deck is the China card.


My Opinion of Admiral Koehler




"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far."
Theodore Roosevelt

trump is a "moron bough off from the chinese" ... that so cal crisis in korea is a BULLSHIT ... its a set up show for carried chinese strategy ...
very plain and simple ...
Kim is a stooge from the chinese , and Trump another one ... even he try to disguise that ... Putin help Trump in last elections , so now Putim help the chinese to downsize america power in asia ...
on forces ...
be not so sure on that assumption ... numbers may not matter so much as in 1950 , and air power is not as it was in those times ... remember marianas turkey shot ... or soviet 22 july 41 massive superiority air power ...
neverdless nobody want a war ... less north korea ... Kim want nice western toys and get rich with those kind of mobsters that he kept aboard in china and elsewhere ... china try to get rid of US in the region ... to became the big asia-pacific honcho , but thats not possible ...
its only a show ... a stupid one ... but a show ...
