North Korea is no more or no less than a weapon in China's arsenal. The Chinese are using NK to play us like a fiddle. The North Korean problem is a China problem; to eliminate the NK threat, we would have to deal with the Chinese. The Chinese could lock down their borders and the North Koreans would come around or starve in a matter of a few months. They don't want the North Korean problem solved.Junk Yard Dog wrote:Pissing on a forest fire is all a few MOAB's will do when dealing with a country that has mobile missile launchers moving about at unknown and always changing locations. Nuclear strike followed by full use of anti missile defense systems. Some shit will get by, we will take a hit, so will South Korea and maybe Japan, but it will be over before they have better bombs and missiles that will do far more damage. We will have to wait and see if The PRC and Russia want to commit national suicide over the DPRK by striking at us. Of course nothing will be done and the DPRK will grow stronger, when it comes to a head we will all pay dearly, DPRK will be gone but so will much of us. Could be we deserve it for electing ineffectual leaders over the past 50 years or more who let the rot spread and grow rather than dealing with it decisively. The DPRK problem should have been handled already, now they have the bomb, and the missiles to deliver it.
We have transferred tremendous wealth to the Chinese over the last half century to benefit of the few in the US. The Chinese have used that wealth and economic power to paint us into an economic and military corner. The only real weapon we can bring to bear on the situation includes war on the Chinese. War on the Chinese requires the use of Nuclear weapons. If we launched on China, Russia would follow with preemptive strikes. If the nuclear genie is let out of the bottle, by anyone, the escalation that follows renders the world untenable for human life, no matter how well someone thought they were prepared. The Chinese know all of this and have calculated that we will not use a nuclear option, therefore the situation will develop as benefits the economic and military of the Chinese.
you are ready. If not get 1/2 the weight outa that pack. At least 1/2.
) Then he's got to rely on very unreliable former Soviet nuclear engineers who want a paycheck, but not NK having nukes. (He's nuts enough to send some West, too.) Probably why the missile tests more often fail than succeed, (happens even to us) and why he doesn't have any weapons grade fissionable material yet? Why do I think that? Because that fat little weasel will use it, as soon as he has it. He'll hit Japan, or Guam, because that's as far as he can get. I expect there will be a non-nuclear response if that happens.
