You will get your wish as Kim promises to continue his missile testing, at least one a week, and if we interfere with our military, we will have restless nights and possible nuclear war.

Part of me would rather avoid war, and the loss of life, the other part thinks it's time to eliminate Kim Jong and his missile program, before he manages to get a missile that works. I honestly think if we were to launch an all out air assault from all 3 carriers, especially at night, we could eliminate virtually all of North Korea's offensive weaponry overnight with minimal collateral damage. With that said, doing that would certainly upset the political climate over there...and may strain relations with us and China and possibly even Russia so I'm not sure if our leadership is willing to commit to such an operation, considering the potential backlash we would get.

I don't see a nuclear war but I do see nukes being used. N. Korea cannot fight a war with the U.S., they know it, but since only ONE man makes decisions in that country, then war may happen. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do whether it's pleasant or not. And I know Washington doesn't want a war so.....if one happens it will be because the 'crazy fat kid' starts it.

Even more so what would give us the right to use our military to stop them from doing so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
