Chula Vista

I'm too afraid to bet.

One thing I don't quite get: All the military officials say an offensive military strike would be very bad. Pyongyang, which is where all of the serious infrastuture is located, and the only province that has electricity 24/7, is only 1,200 square miles.

Hiroshima is 350 square miles and that bomb was dropped over half a century ago.

So why would sneaking over and bombing the **** out of the basic skeleton of the country be "very bad"? Does it send a bad signal to any other country? Could NK actually recover? Would any sane person on the planet want them to?

Ever read about these places? Bad, bad, regime.

You think it will happen that quickly?

Putin's response was expected. The idea of a cybersecurity council is interesting if it gives us some measure of leverage in the future U.S. - Russo cyberwar though. The alternative, of course, is that Russia will just do whatever they want during the next election cycle (theoretically).

Mexico might end up paying for the wall if Trump can showcase the fully fleshed out "solar panel" blueprint which he allegedly is a big fan of. The amount of electricity it would generate could very well cover the costs plus make both countries additional money.

Lastly, the Comey story is getting more and more interesting. Especially since it looks like he's violated his own agency's rules in regards to at least four of the memos he "took" with him after being fired.

Comey’s private memos on Trump conversations contained classified material.

So it's better to let do Russia whatever they want in future elections as opposed to putting something in place that might hold them to some level of accountability? Elphenor-logic...

Neither you nor Chula seem to understand any of my actual positions on any given subject, so expecting you to do so now would be a long shot that would require you to give more than a few seconds of thought to whatever is being discussed.

Do you know anything about the solar wall plans that have been proposed? It's a sound strategy.

Shouldn't Trump be proposing a coal powered wall?
