North Korean state media warned on Tuesday of a nuclear attack on the United States at any sign of American aggression, as a U.S. Navy strike group steamed toward the western Pacific - a force U.S. President Donald Trump described as an "armada".

Trump, who has urged China to do more to rein in its impoverished ally and neighbor, said in a tweet that North Korea was "looking for trouble" and the United States would "solve the problem" with or without Beijing's help.

Beijing may have signaled a willingness to work with the US by turning back coal shipments from NK in favor of shipments from the U.S. I also read that they have moved 150,000 troops along the border, Kimmy Un is probably feeling more lonely than usually right about now.

The man is crazy. Will he attempt an assault on our fleet? Will he launch some missiles against them? If he has any sanity at all, he has to begin to feel isolated, particularly if China stops supporting the regime. I think China's 150,000 troops on the border worry him because that may mean China knows the U.S. is serious about dealing with North Korea.

I watched a documentary about NK years ago on PBS. Those people have no idea about the real world. It will take at least a generation to sort that mess out once the NK govt finally collapses.

I believe the only way Kim Jong-un falls is if the people simply run out of food. Currently about 20M are under nourished. If China stops their support, North Korea will have an enormous food problem on their hands, which may lead to the uprising of the people supported by the military. I see very few other non-military options to topple the regime.

The Fleet had some scheduled tail in Australia. I bet they are in a foul mood.

He might try. North Koreas navy us pretty sad though.
