Trump on North Korean Nuclear Test - Update 2 - North Korean Crisis

Mail on Sunday: Reports " 'They only understand one thing': Trump comes out fighting and agrees to 'military response' after North Korea celebrates its most powerful nuclear test ever and sparks 6.3 magnitude quake  "

Lets Get Real:

The US has to do something drastic, either it accepts North Korea as a nuclear power or it rolls it back, by force if necessary.   The US should get South Korea and Japan to ask for the bomb, that will get the attention of China and North Korea.   The costs of supporting North Korea by China is getting way out of hand, while it might be in the strategic interest of China that the US has to deal with North Korea while it has its own ambitions in the area, the costs are getting out of hand, the tail of the dog is running rings around China.  It is losing face in the region.   Thus it will be interesting to see what the Trump Oval does over the next few hours and days. 

North Korean Nuclear Test - North Korean Crisis

BBC News: Reports " The US has joined North Korea's regional neighbours in condemning the secretive communist state's latest nuclear weapons test. "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Oval has two choices, accept that North Korea as a nuclear power and start on talks that will not remove that, or take military action, as this blog has suggested the US should blockade North Korea, check every ship going to and from North Korea, only allow food in, everything else should be blocked.    The North Koreans will take a weak reaction as a green light to help other rogue nations and to sell their nuclear material to terrorist groups.   IF there is no military reaction, Iran will be the next State to go rogue, it will push the nuclear deal to its limits then go over it. The Liberal Appeasers on CNN and Brookings are like the The Times and the BBC in the 1930s when they supported the Appeasement policy of Neville Chamberlain. 

The FUTURE of DACA ? - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " As Donald Trump considers whether to end the Obama immigration program, 800,000 people brought to the US as children grapple with uncertainty"    

Lets Get Real:

The White House has stated that the decision on DACA will come on Tuesday, this is typical of what a reality star would do, build up tension before the day.  The problem is that there will be hundred thousands of Dreamers who will be very afraid over the next few days, as the Government knows who they are and their location.    One can only hope that POTUS does the just thing, and allow the Dreamers to stay, anything else will be seen as harsh and an attempt to throw away every Obama Policy that came from President Obama.  It has to be noted that as a Candidate, Donald Trump stated he would END DACA, the question is what next, one option would be to grant amnesty, Reagan did that to a  few million in his 2nd term.  Of course Trump could be playing to his very Conservative base, they would want the illegal immigrants to be thrown out.   One idea that has been suggested is that the Dreamers be allowed to work out their work permit, about two years to settle their affairs.   This would also be harsh, as immigrants who have lived their entire adult lives in the US will be forced to leave the US for a country they do not know.   It is time that Congress should ACT, they could grant amnesty, the question is do they have the political courage, that is open to debate.   One does have to feel sorry for the Dreamers.  

The END to DACA - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " Trump expected to announce end to Obama-era DACA, official says "

Lets Get Real:

In essence DACA allows illegal immigrants who were bought to the US when young to stay in the US.  This has been a personal thorny issue the President has stated in the past.  One hopes that any new policy allows these innocent immigrants to stay, one does not want to see them thrown out of the US.   If Trump decides to throw them out, all hell will break lose, the Democrats will be very angry on the Hill, the US Courts will be very busy with law suites. One can only hope that this is a ploy by Trump to get his WALL built, he will allow DACA immigrants to stay as long as the Congress gives him the money to build his Wall on the border between the US and Mexico.

The North Korean Soldiers are not being feed - North Korean Crisis

Telegraph: Reports " Hungry North Korean soldiers 'ordered to steal corn because war is imminent' "

Lets Get Real:

The North Korean Regime is even starving its own troops as to fund its nuclear ambition, what if the TALK about the large North Korean Army is just that TALK, what if the West takes action, one can postulate that the North Korean Army will fold faster than the Iraqi Army did in the 1st Gulf War.  If they are starving they will not be able to fight a strong US attack.  The US should blockade North Korea and STOP anything going in, and that means anything, starve the North Korean Regime.  This will sound HARSH to liberals, and watchers of BBC News and readers of the Guardian.   It just might work, the Soldiers might revolt and we could see a coup in North Korea and the end of the present Regime. 

No Progress in EU talks - Post Brexit

BBC News: Reports " Europe's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier says there has been "no decisive progress" on key issues in talks with the UK.  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK Government should walk away from the EU talks, declare that the EU is hopeless and that it will not pay any ransoms, force those remainers to vote to give billions to the EU.   One can see a few fanatical ideological EU supporters willing to finish their political careers, but on the whole those with a brain cell with support giving the money to the NHS over the EU.   The left press, that being BBC News will try to make out that the UK is at fault, they seem to think they are working for the EU not the British Tax payer. 

Trump on North Korean Missile Launch - North Korean Crisis

The White House: The President has released the following statement on North Korea, " The world has received North Korea’s latest message loud and clear: this regime has signaled its contempt for its neighbors, for all members of the United Nations, and for minimum standards of acceptable international behavior. 

 

Threatening and destabilizing actions only increase the North Korean regime’s isolation in the region and among all nations of the world.  All options are on the table. "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Oval should seek allies to blockade North Korea, only allow food stuffs and other such material in to North Korea, prevent the NK regime from selling its WMD to the highest bidder.   This would be a risky move by Trump, it could lead to a War in Asia, all the other options have been tried and have failed, it is time for the OVAL OFFICE to get tough with North Korea, also Trump should make it clear to North Korea that any threat to South Korea or Japan would lead to military action by the US.  The above is fraught with peril.
