Is North Korea rattling the saber again?

And will our Commander and Chief try to talk peace with them or act as our military leader?

Can his smooth talk keep North Korea from doing our troops and allies any damage as they have their war games?

Update:

Gianna, most of the world is out of money but that won't start or stop a nut job from starting a war.

Update 2:

White Eagle, If they do as they say our troops and allies will be playing at war and won't have live ammo. How can we screw it up?

Update 3:

John, This is the thoughts behind the question!

Update 4:

Levon, I would rather see someone like Jackson or Truman in office at a time like this. Andy would have beat them with his hickory stick and Truman would have his finger on the button!

Update 5:

W.S. I believe he cares! But not about America or American lives except those that are of use to his goals, which do not lie in the best interests of America or the American people>

Update 6:

D.C. Through diplomacy, is how the U.S. has degraded our position in the world as well as our military superiority.

Update 7:

Inquisitor, Yes, the Napoleon Complex has long been the cause of many battles. Small stature, I believe, is only the outward signs, as it is also a smallness of mind which also contributes to the visions of grandeur.

Update 8:

Kat, and think about the Clinton's friends, the Chinese as they are also in a playful mood. I think we may soon see the Judas Goat looking for a stronger laxative so his B.S. may flow more freely.

    North Korea seems to have some bloated version of, what we in the military used to call, little man syndrome. Whenever you see a person kinda small always trying to pick a fight because they want respect. I'm not saying we should underestimate North Korea by, actually the opposite. They were suffering economically when things were good and the only way they've had any global attention is through their military. Countries in that situation with that kind of regime are the most dangerous and need special consideration by our leaders. This is about the only thing I hope Obama will succeed in, because if his talk isn't enough, I don't know if he's enough of a leader to get us through the serious part of a war.

    His smooth talk appears to work mostly on the ignorant and malleable. Somehow, I don't think that Korea's boss has that particular quality in abundance, even if he weren't psychotic. The question will be whether he's just rattling sabers, or serious.

    And, realistically, talking beats firing missiles, so long as you do the talking from strength, and he has so far done his best to do away with ours. That in concert with his wussy approach to appeasement rather than firm objections, is likely to negate any threat he might make, if he could bring himself to make one. I can only say that nothing I have seen from him yet, gives me any confidence in his ability to take and hold a firm stand, unless it involves forwarding his socialistic agenda.

    I have no confidence in either his willingness to defend this country, his ability to understand all that it involves, or the personal strength to make important decisions that don't involve money or votes.

    The Great Appeaser will have to have a meeting of at least 300 socialist,

    three Muslims and a dog named blue, in order to help him make this

    decision.. Maybe Hillary could take the North Koreans a plastic toy

    piece that says you win on it. And all will be fine. Other wise nothing

    constructive is going to be done. So we might as well screw this up

    to.

    North korea has had great success in the past, with conning democrats.

    Ask Madeleine Albright.

    They wouldn't even HAVE nukes if action was taken earlier.

    Clearly, North Korea is.

    It will be very interesting to see how our so-called commander-in-chief (who has zero military experience) handles this.
