<Air and/or land tactical military intervention depending upon what the intelligence bears.> Geez, could you be a little MORE vague? Seriously, "Air and/or land tactical military intervention depending upon what the intelligence bears?" How has the Pentagon not snatched you up already? <And far more important than Kim is the weapons program itself. Every day counts as that country is on the brink of controlling long range(as in easy to reach mainland USA)nuclear weapon delivery. Pretty scary stuff. Much more frightening than one single oompa loompa faced blowhard who likes to grab that _ u_ _y.> But these things are related, or will be in 11 days. Yes, Kim being in control of long-range weapons is scary. Do you think that idea never occurred to Obama or Bush or their respective national security teams? Preventing this is not a matter of magical thinking, or armchair war-gaming. And again... "land tactical military intervention...???" Do you really think we could just invade North Korea a little bit?? If we do that, we own it. And we'll own it for quite some time. So will South Korea... for a VERY long time. Then there's the matter of China. They are key to anything that happens there. And in 11 days we'll have someone as President who is far, far more likely to tick off or alienate China then either Obama or Bush ever was. As well as far more likely to do something rash and ill-considered. (Perhaps armed with crack military advice such as "Air and/or land tactical military intervention depending upon what the intelligence bears.") So yeah, if we're talking about North Korea, it just did get scarier with the oompa loompa blowhard in charge.
You're not getting it. I would rather America and South Korea have to deal with the aftermaths and terrible entanglements because that means we are still alive. A few delivered nukes to the USA and none of us will have to worry about a political fallout or soured international relations. Staying alive trumps our international standing.
I'm not "getting" your point because you're being clear as mud. Do you really think we should invade North Korea? If we did so, you don't think theyd, you know, notice? And if they notice, isn't that about the most likely thing imaginable that would make them push the button? God save us from armchair generals.
Wait a cotton pickin minute. The idea is to act before N K has the delivery capabilities. We act now. Not in 2 years or even June of this year. We need ASAP!! I said this before that they are on the brink. This should have been dealth with in playboy Clinton's last years, then 8 years under the obstinate and hard headed Bush and then 8 years worth of pushover/complacent Obama. And you think Mrs. Clinton has the audacity to make a hard decision to invade and put a stop to this nuclear thread. Really? I don't see it. Like I said as for making the hard but necessary decisions a low chance with Trump is better than a no chance with Mrs. Clinton. I am very sorry to say.
So your brilliant plan is to invade North Korea by June. Yeah, Trump's not going to do that. And there's a reason why the last three presidents didn't either, and why their military advisors didn't advise them to do so. What a pity they never tapped your obvious expertise.
