Guess what, they still are not. But then again neither has any other country we have invaded or bombed in the last 50 years, so I guess Trump will just be sticking with tradition.

I'm not an advocate for military intervention in North Korea, far from it. However, if you have an active developmental nuclear program and you routinely speak of your intent to use nuclear weapons on a world power, it's not unreasonable to expect that one day they may decide to take you seriously and drop the hammer.

Politically speaking, Trump is in a no-win situation. The same people who are complaining that he might take military action to halt N Korea's development of a nuclear arsenal and oppose taking military action to that end, will be the very same people, who, if Trump does nothing and N Korea deploys a nuke at say Japan or the US mainland, will complain that Trump did nothing to stop the crazy fat kid and will argue that he should have taken military action to prevent it from happening. So Trump is cursed if he does, and cursed if he doesn't. It's just politics. Regardless of which direction he goes, it will be viewed as a failure for him as a president.

Godwin's law (or Godwin's rule of Hitler analogies) is an Internet adage which asserts that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches 1"[2][3]—that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or his deeds.

Or it could be that Trump does nothing and NK does nothing (like the same nothing they have done for 50 years). You left out that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
