The first country ever to hand us a defeat in a full-blown war, now led by a sociopath who starves his people and feeds them to dogs, who has said repeatedly he will destroy us and every other country within reach, now armed with nukes and the missiles to deliver them...go ahead and stop me when you feel threatened. Unless rocket man and his evil entourage are eliminated with some magical Seal Team surgical strike, we will need to pretty much destroy NK. Otherwise, a dozen other countries will accelerate their plans to nuclearize., and nuke strikes will become commonplace. Like his father, even more so, he will never abide by any agreement so stop the wasting of time and kill him and his military, It is unavoidable if we wish to avoid many larger catastrophes in the future. 20 years from now the loss of a few million Koreans today might be considered the missed opportunity to have saved hundreds of millions of people in 2037.
Nobody is going to like this Maris. I am waiting to see who says your are wrong. Better yet, who has a better plan? No, doing nothing is not a plan!
Everybody knows why there is a North Korea and a South Korea in the first place? Seems like people seem to think squashing NK would be a cinch. Yeah, they thought that at the time, too, and they had nukes and the North Koreans didn't. Why, after Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan do so many Americans still think the US can just trample other countries underfoot if it wants?
Tell me about Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Somalia, and a few other countries we weren't bombing until 2009.
