The Pentagon says we were targeting ISIS tunnels and camps. But of course there's apt to be collateral damage.

We should bomb more. This is exhilarating!

Region has an average of 400 people per square mile, but there are some largely unpopulated sectors within that. Fingers crossed.

At this point if you are a South Korean, would you ever want to re-unify with the North? There would be mountains of problems trying to integrate it.

So, I guess Trump isn't cheering WikiLeaks on anymore?

Didn't the Trump admin claim as such and was laughed off as being ridiculous?

I'm sure intelligence was terribly concerned about the Russians as opposed to the Americans whose surveillance would've required a modicum of oversight.

What would the US do if a Chinese or North Korean fleet were sailing towards their shores?
That want to protect themselves is what. This is no different.
This is gonna end badly. Really badly.

This is a bit of a false equivalency. The international community has been quite clear on this for sometime and you are ignoring NKs persistent treats against SK and Japan, keys allies in the region.

But this is a terrible move by both sides. This time to stop NK was a decade+ ago and any attack now will just drive the other borderline pariah states to arm up.

North Korea isn't a threat. China would roll in there tomorrow if they were.
They aren't.
And rightly so it's their direct neighbour and problem.
Uncle Sam wading in to push an agenda is a problem however.
And with trump as president? Of all people. No good outcome for anyone.

You don't see any issue with your next door neighbor lobbing ICBM's into the ocean progressively farther every few years/months?

North Korea is only a problem because China and Russia are on the security council and they allow the ruling family to remain in power.

Of course China and Russia aren't concerned, but if you are South Korean or Japanese... I would expect that you would be.
