I vividly remember being told that NK might come across and 75% of us would be casualties if they did.

Bus isn't all that short.

I figured you must have been somewhere close.  My best friend still has distant relatives there.

So, Trump gave away the South China Sea, etc., to prevent this from happening.

  So now that it failed, do we insist China get outta there and we impose a 45% tariff on Americans buying Chinese goods, or what?

No, we do the "neo-traditional" American thing:  NOTHING!  Until we get Pearl-Harbored...  Then we scream and run in circles looking for safe spaces. 

Cynical?  Damn right!  But I'd make book on it.

I agree. Meanwhile China uses NK to keep Trump from taking economic action against them, all while supplying and encouraging NK behind the scenes.  We are foolish to give any concessions to China. They will never help us against NK in any meaningful way.  They will take care of Kim if and only if it serves their interest.

Do you always make fun of military people who go into harms way?   You're a class act.
