hopefully this is just (lol) superbrinkmanship to get China to bend. Because otherwise...

(also likely Pres Moon might make military plans fairly difficult, but the GOP very rarely cares about niceties like that)

But Hillary is gonna start WWIII

No official policy has changed yet. Both the Obama and Trump Administrations embraced sanctions and threatened the use of military force as an option on the table. Until there's a substantive shift, I'd consider this a continuation of business as usual.

This and they would need congressional approval to do such thing. They wouldn't let them live it down.

I am more concerned with what happens to Seoul, an obvious target for military retribution by Emperor Kim Jong-un.

I'd assume that this has always been an option with US policy on North Korea.

yeah but if sh*t really hits the fan, good luck occupying North Korea without the South Korean Army.

This is a routine "all options are on the table" statement. In eight years, Kim will be alive and armed with a hydrogen bomb that will never be used anyway. Calm down guys. I mean Jesus Christ this is getting to be too much, this is less dangerous a statement than Reagan's Russia joke and these are the Kim's we're talking about.
