I don't want the US to kill a mass of North Koreans. I just want them to assassinate Kim Jong Un

    I'm not sure Donald Trump can see the difference. I think when he looks at North Korea, he sees only the Kim Jong bullshit tour that is going to get his people slaughtered.

    Also, the media is guilty in this. It is always: North Korea did this. Not, Kim Jong Un did this.

    No one WANTS to kill "a mass of North Koreans", but it very well could end up being necessary.

    If it was as simple as Kim Jong Ill dying....oh wait, that already happened and changed nothing, if it was as simple as Kim Jong Un dying and solving all of the problems, then I'm sure that option would be on the table but it's very unlikely to end well if it was done. Most likely an assassination of their leader would cause them to retaliate and lead to nuclear weapons being used and massive numbers of Koreans, both in the north and in the south, getting killed.

    Actually we have very likely explored assassination programs. It's not that simple.

    Former intelligence personnel have on television stated the United States (among other nations) have explored avenues to assasinate Un before. Killing the leader of another nation isn't easy. We have tried many times with little success. We failed to get Castro on a tiny island close to us.

    We have tried to kill other dictators many times. Just a simple google search on Fidel Castro will bring up several hits.

    You're asking Clutchfans for concrete evidence on a high-profile Kim Jong assassination, really?

    If you write this down on a piece of paper and send it to Donal Trump, he might do it.

    I am only using the leftist go to line. Clearly I am not allowed to.

    Case in point: Russia pays for a bunch of ads and intrudes on DNCs emails to expose corrupt behavior. When pointing out the hypocrisy of the US's influence around the world, its "never happened until concrete proof". Sure, overthrowing regimes and assassinating leaders is not quite as bad as what Russia did.

    It's troubling to me that you would see no problem with the Russians dropping nukes on us. After all, we've done that to other countries!

    You know who uses us nuking Japan in their propaganda? Islamic extremists groups. Bin laden often ref it. But I have to give credit to SG. SG consistently equalize all things during and since the election.

    An excellent documentary titled "The Interview" was made about this exact scenario which gives outstanding input into the difficulty involved. I suggest watching it.

    Dennis Rodman could do it.

    If he wanted to.

    Would probably need JCVD to double team it.
