[QUOTE]President Donald Trump said Friday "we'll have to see" what the United States will do if sanctions on North Korea fail to deter its nuclear and missile programs.
[B]However, he cryptically warned of a potential "phase two," which may prove "very, very unfortunate for the world."[/B] He did not give more details on what action he would take or when he would consider the sanctions failed.
[B]"If the sanctions don't work, we'll have to go phase two. Phase two may be a very rough thing. It may be very, very unfortunate for the world. But hopefully the sanctions will work,"[/B] Trump said at a joint press conference with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
Earlier in the day, the Trump administration announced a sweeping sanctions package aimed at curbing the communist dictatorship's weapons development. The measures target one individual, 27 entities and 28 vessels, located or registered in several locations: North Korea, China, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Marshall Islands, Tanzania, Panama, and Comoros, the Treasury Department said.[/QUOTE]

[B][U]Trump warns of 'very rough' 'Phase Two' against North Korea if sanctions don't work: 'Very, very unfortunate for the world'[/U][/B]

[QUOTE]"If the sanctions don't work, we'll have to go Phase Two," Trump continued. "Phase Two may be a very rough thing. Maybe very, very unfortunate for the world."
Trump did not discuss what "Phase Two" would entail. [B]But a preemptive "bloody nose" strike against North Korea was reportedly proposed by White House officials and then taken [URL="https://www.buzzfeed.com/johnhudson/bloody-nose-attack-on-north-korea-not-being-considered?utm_term=.aqE9D8daG&bftwnews#.ayEBkgv62"]off the table.[/URL][/B] The limited strike, which was criticized by foreign policy experts, was intended to send a message in an effort to curb North Korea's provocations, including its weapons program.
"But hopefully the sanctions will work," Trump said. "We have tremendous support all around the world for what we're doing."[/QUOTE]
He has no phase two, he just wants to sound cool like with his 30 second plan to deal with ISIS.

I [I]certainly[/I] fucking hope so. :worried:
Article doesn't seem to mention when it'll take effect?
Yeah, plunge the world into chaos. Thats what we need to do, fucking christ.
The bastard wants a war with another fucking nuclear power so he can distract from his bullshit.
He thinks something like this will help him, he thinks this is going to be like his 9/11. We can not wait any longer, we can not allow him to do this.
Get. Him. Out.
I've never understood why people talk like this while they're having meetings. like, stop threatening the dude's you're talking with? Maybe it's not smart to do when they're notoriously quick to offend?

No, you see Trump has such expert military wisdom. We should trust him! Amazing diplomacy skills, very very great.

I'm actually decreasingly nervous. Trump is full of hot air. He doesn't say anything definitive because he has nothing definitive. Hee might as well be saying "Oh I'll get you!" "How?" "Y-[I]You'll see! I have plans![/I]"
He has no balls to even sanction Russia, he's not gonna do shit to a political powder keg like NK.
I'm so glad we elected a big brain smartman genius with an even temperament and a humble personality. I sure would hate to live out several years of my adulthood constantly afraid of being vaporized at the whims of a giant diaper shitting man baby who found his way into the highest position of power in the United States purely through stupidity and malicious foreign meddling.

That's because he is being blackmailed by Putin/Russia. He's not being blackmailed by North Korea, and I'm sure to some extent that he would love to play the strong man. After all, in the words of our [I]ever so[/I] dearly-beloved POTUS - "why not use the nukes if we have them"?
i'm so glad that warmonger crooked hillary didn't win
With wording this dramatic I guarantee you this is primarily to distract from the Rick Gates guilty plea.
Anyone who advocates a first strike against North Korea is a complete ignoramus and a lunatic.
North Korea has literally nothing to gain from a first strike on SK or the US. Not only would they be fucking annihilated within a matter of weeks (Seoul, too) , but there's no way China or Russia would come to help them if they instigated it.
If we instigate it, though? Not only is Seoul immediately destroyed anyways, but by being the aggressors, NK's allies have a pretense to join in, as they're just protecting their ally from an unprovoked attack.
Don't tell the DNC this, but I would vote for Hilary is she actually got nominated some how again. I literally cannot take another year of Trump.
If we try to fight 3 wars at once, we will loose.
Russia would roll over Iraq in retaliation to any bloody nose strike in North Korea that results in a war

Nuh-uh, he just can't show you how it works yet because that butthead Mr. Kelly took away his action figures.

I don't think he wants to distract from anything. I think he just wants to be the Commander-in-Chief that sends an army into war then gets all the parades and glory and whatnot.

He's like a kid who wants to play soldier. He could have played it for real if he didn't draft dodge, but I guess fighting in a war is different than being in command of one.

fuck off cunt, i don't support you bombing another country. you're already drone striking 8 fucking countries which you have no stake in except for natural resources and money. the united states recently deployed 2 war ships in the black sea, you know that inland sea on the other side of the world, that borders russia? yeah they sent 2 warships there because of russia's "growing presence" in the area, which again borders their country and is on the literal opposite side of the world from the US.
now you're sending out ominous messages about the fate of nork, great. i hope this time the world will look at this and hold the people responsible for these HIGHLY ILLEGAL acts of war.
Right on time to make us look elsewhere Donnie.
Still, I think this should only want us to put you outside even faster.
This fuck will be the doom of the world sooner or later.

Seoul being wiped out by artillery is a myth and it's doubtful Russia or China would want to start WW3 against the world's largest military power over the Asian tumor.
There is a point where a human brain thinks political career = worth threats to the entire world and it's 7 billion people living in it from a very, VERY real position of power
He fucking scares me with all this hot air blowing because at this point I'm starting to doubt whether this lunatic even understand the consequences of kicking a dog on fire all the goddamn time
[QUOTE=JeSuisIkea;53156061]Seoul being wiped out by artillery is a myth[/QUOTE]
Wait which part is a myth? That norks dont have a lot of artillery or that they haven't ever threathened to do so?
[editline]24th February 2018[/editline]
Okay i see, the artillery power and range has been overhyped

But still, they have nuclear weapons now.
save me, please
I live in South Korea
