Glad I am consistent 

let me ask you this. If we do attack North Korea do you think it will be the greatest Fire and fury world has ever seen?

 Will Trump try and top what Truman did?

So far, he has pretty much done what he said he'd do.

Yes; the supporters of the Obama 'talk 'em to death' plan are freaking out when they hear actual strong responses to that idiot over there in NK.   And completely talk in circles; they're afraid Trump will take action while claiming  he's all talk. Did Obama completely addle the left or what? Go figure.

Yes, I do think he is just talking trash, but there is that little voice in my head that thinks maybe he really will try and one up Truman

Trump will let his military people do what they do best.  And if they are going to limit the danger to Seoul then yes it will needs to be more than what we did to Iraq. Nukes are not necessary to stop their attacks on Seoul with conventional weapons but might be used to take out their buried nuke sites.

Seoul can put 20 million people in bomb shelters very quickly.  It isn't like here in the US.  They do actually have civil defense plans.

It's unsettling to even think that a president who can't perform a simple "repeal and replace" of the ACA armed with a majority in both houses of Congress would even try to successfully use nuclear weapons in the Korean peninsula.

What is the point of the trash talk by Trump?...

Winning?

Even if the contest is pointless, Prez Trump always has something to prove.

I hope he listens to his military people and let's them do what needs to be done, but I am not confident he will.

Sure you can, it is a free country. 

The problem, as I see with Trump, is that winning a war will not be enough, he will have to have dropped the most bombs ever in a short amount of time, or to have the highest kill rate or some other such thing.   Maybe he wants to be able to say he dropped the most nuclear bombs ever.  Then he can tell us about the world leaders calling him and telling him it was the best war they have ever seen.
