Heck, this was all it took to get into the Spanish American War, WW I, WW2, and Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had better be careful and know who they are bullying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Even when they don't blow one up- Spanish American War and Vietnam- the appearance of blowing it up was good enough.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or be seen to be attacked and do nothing. North Korea seems to want a war and is happy here to launch the 1st strike on a US ship in international waters. I'm sure they'd have no trouble launching a nuke at US soil if they had one with that range. So what should we do..wait for this to happen..I don't know. Also who would the Russians and Chinese side with...historically in the 50s it wasn't the US and allies. All very worrying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am doubtful that they have the ability to strike America. As aggressive as our administration is now I would think they would be all over an attack on our ship.
