The first 2 US nukes were named "Little Man" and "Fat Boy". Coincidence?
Ahem...Little Boy and Fat Man.

Prof. Keyser ,UNH, US Dept. of State: "...and isn't this the real question? How can a democracy fight a war and maintain it's ideals? Right, there is conflict here. You can't, so the people of the Bronze class have to be separated from society and reeducated; so we can win. Because we have to win..."

Hopefully, Kim Jung UN gives up. Not that he will stand down, quite the opposite. He's ready to fight wave I. Butt, if he does surrender we should:

- Nuke the major cities all "roads", etc...
- Land heavily armed and supported forces near the concentration Camps. And fight our way in like we always do.
- If China blinks, destroy the bottom 3rd of the country by burning the top soil off.
- It will be interesting to see how well our integrated forces, position centered, software works Go analog early...

Please allow me to introduce my self...

They have proven that they can execute both the rocketry and explosive part of the equation. There is nothing more to do unless they would like to die. They can now negotiate from that position. Regime change via an invading force is no longer possible.

Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in embraced after signing the deal during a historic meeting on their shared border, the first time a North Korean leader has set foot on the southern side. They announced plans to formally declare a resolution to the war and replace the 1953 armistice that ended open hostilities into a peace treaty by year’s end.

South Korea's foreign minister has said she believes President Donald Trump is largely responsible for bringing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to the negotiating table.

Speaking ahead of Friday's historic summit between the leaders of North and South Korea, Kang Kyung-wha told CNN that the US President had played a significant role in bringing the two sides together.
"Clearly, credit goes to President Trump," Kang told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in Seoul. "He's been determined to come to grips with this from day one."
Kim will become the first North Korean leader to cross the Military Demarcation Line between North and South Korea on Friday for talks with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. President Trump is expected to meet with Kim in May or June.
amazing what a REAL leader can accomplish....
