so I`m in agreement with you on innocent people being murdered, but you don`t mention any empathy for the citizens of NK, just ignored the rest of my post and quoted what you liked to attack to fit your view
I hope for the very best for them.
I also noticed you didn`t mention any of the innocent people slaughtered continually in the name of the death cult Islam, that lead to the conflict, guess your afraid you`ll be called a bigot as most are.
What is your solution, pretend it all doesn`t exist so long as your not directly affected and do nothing, that`s weak, attack those who think otherwise or say "who are we to judge", which is a judgement within its self, allow it to continue while our own existence is threatened with nuclear destruction by a communist tyrannical dictatorship, but Trumps an idiot, Trumps an idiot, Trumps an idiot like a broken record, your in denial of your own judgements gortex.
He won the election by using the media against themselves to give him air time, he is turning America around, unemployment is the lowest in 17 years and has added 5.5 trillion dollars to the stock market since being in office, he is slashing middle class income tax, making the lives of the back bone of America far better. Ignore his personality and watch what he achieves.
Trumps no idiot, don't buy into the charade.

I think we should stop violating DPRK's right to possess the same weapons we threaten them with.
It's we who are in the wrong here.

So how are they going to get Kim Jong to sit still long enough to locate him?

I didn't mention it because it has no bearing on the situation in North Korea , I would however point out that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with Islamic terrorism , the conflict was about other stuff.
If you think what I posted was an attack on you then you are wrong , it was a salient point , who are we to tell others how to run their own affairs.
My solution is dialog , withdrawing the threat amassed at the North's borders and keeping up the pressure on China to help resolve the matter.
History will prove one of us right and one of us wrong .... I'm more than happy with my position.
WHAT''s THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP?

Logical? That's tricky, we all know the irrational escalations too well.
I dunno, IQ deathmatch between the two would-like-to-be-leaders?

Until we can agree to SALT III with everyone, where the US and Russia primarily agree to a very major dismantling and disarming program, I don't see how we have any moral justification to bark orders at nations like Iran or N Korea.
We are hypocritical here. And unfair.
The entire Korean crisis is the World Powers fault because we wanna play chess with the world and dictate policy decisions in other nations.
Remember Iraq? We don't have any credibility right now. We are the warmongers.
Oh of course ! Dialog like with the Japanese and such. Or dialogue with Libya the Hillary/Barack way. I'm

Yes Trump is an idiot but no one said puppets need to be smart.
He won the election by using the media against themselves to give him air time, he is turning America around, unemployment is the lowest in 17 years and has added 5.5 trillion dollars to the stock market since being in office, he is slashing middle class income tax, making the lives of the back bone of America far better. Ignore his personality and watch what he achieves.
He won the election by using dog whistles and fear , if he had been faced with a stronger opposition candidate he most likely wouldn't have won , his victory was more down to the weakness of the US electoral system than being the right candidate at the right time.
Trumps no idiot, don't buy into the charade.

US's logic will be answering serious threats to their country with military force (as per usual) and I would say developing inter-continental nuclear capability is of the most serious type of threat from a dictatorship.

I was trying to argue logics, not scripted autofire and national security Bollocks. And given the upcoming match with his SOS, we're at this point right now.

It's called nuclear deterrent for a reason, using them would be suicide. We all know that, only little Kim doesn't like to talk about it. Guess why?
The real threat is something else entirely and we ATSliens ought to know that as well, right? Remember Eisenhower? JFK maybe? Warren Buffet?
The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a criminal act on an epic scale. It was premeditated mass murder that unleashed a weapon of intrinsic criminality. For this reason its apologists have sought refuge in the mythology of the ultimate "good war", whose "ethical bath", as Richard Drayton called it, has allowed the west not only to expiate its bloody imperial past but to promote 60 years of rapacious war, always beneath the shadow of The Bomb.

Same with Iran.
Having a nuclear weapon changes the game. One could argue it's a deterrent against aggression.
That said, NK talks a lot of #, and they well know they would be toast if they did anything. Unless they have a truly crazy leader who doesn't care. Or unless we do.
Ahh WOW ... Only Kim Jong UN His Family His Generals would Know they would be Toast!
The Rest are so #ing brainwashed for the last 60ish years ,
Believing that The Kim Dynasty are LIVING GODS!
and Would Jump a Bridge , or Sacrifice themselves for their Leader
THE Great LEADER is like JIM JONES / and Korth Korea is Like Johnstown! in a Huge Scale !
The Country is a Orwellian Nightmare
The Citizens of North Korea are Taught to Hate the USA
Since childhood from the 1950s to present day
they are taught in Schools , that the USA is a Imperialist Country .
and the KIM Dynasty Prevented the US controlling the Country
and North Korea had WON the WAR!
which in Reality , the War Never Ended just had been on Pause!
No Treaty was ever Signed , Nor a Truce , just the Cease Fire..
personally i think its time too UN-Pause the button and let it play
and record for the History Books !
Just Who Would be on Our side.. from this Threat From North Korea

It's we who are in the wrong here.
Aside from Trump threatening to wipe them from the face of the earth (and he is a braggart blowhard), the U.S. hasn't threatened NK with nuclear weapons, so I'm not sure what you mean. Keep in mind it was NK who signed the agreement to not produce nuclear weapons, nor a method to deliver them. The U.S. kept its end of the deal.. NK did not. They were also not threatened until they started testing nuclear weapons.
So the onus is fully on them. And I don't know why people are ok with a government such as theirs to have nukes, especially when there is no failsafe in place. Kim could have a good hair day and decide to nuke someone. However I suspect they will use their nukes once they have them not for deterrence, but as a bargaining chip for personal gain.
"Because those others guys have them" isn't a good reason for someone else to have nukes.
I think there is also the concern that Kim might provide others with the weapons he's developed. Granted, we can track where that weapon came from should it be used in the future. But that's little consolation after the fact should a terrorist organization use one that they bought from NK.
