A Scary What-If Scenario

Meanwhile, perhaps the U.S. and South Korea should stop provoking the North, knowing its leader is lunatic?

 

A 3 generation dynasty holds its people as slavery subjects with only one goal in its conscience: destroy the prosperity of the South that is so repugnant to the ideology, who the "good guy" is is obvious for my oral order, which isn't very high, frankly. Actually, forget the ideology. It was never about that. It was just a tool to control the North Koreans. The real object for the Kim family is to rule the day-and-night land like a medieval king.

 

Putting a strike force from the Pacific Fleet in international waters off the Korean coast after grave attacks upon a US ally, South Korea, is a reasonable, restrained response to what is an act of war. In reality, two acts of war, including the sinking of the South Korean warship, the Cheonan, by North Korea in South Korean waters, waters disputed by North Korea.

 

Things like declaring NK part of Axis of Evils, holding joint military exercises, and threatening use of nuke?

I think Clinton-era policy was on the right track.

 

Read Deckard's post.

 

North and South Korea have never formally ended the Korean War. Nothing either does is cassus belli for war, since the war has been ongoing since.

 

Moot.

A Presidential Statement by the United Nations Security Council couldn't even identify the attacker.

 

North korea has nukes. If they decide to use them say goodbye to south korea and some of northern china and wherever else the wind blows.

 

Are you seriously defending North Korea?

They just killed civilians in Yeonpyeong and you have the nerve to blame South Korea and the USA?

Last time I checked the policy of multilateralism to solve problems in the ASEAN region was still in effect.

I honestly don't know when we threatened nuclear attack against NK.

 

Are you done with debate on the sinking of Cheonan?

As far as the latest incident, I think it's unfortunate people died.

 

C'mon, you can't be serious.

Why debate that with you, you seem to follow the party line 1000 % and would say the sky is green if they did.

"Unfortunate"? That's it? It is clearly an act of war.

 

Moot in your own mind. I'm sure the Kingdom of Sweden, one of four countries that made up the investigating team (plus, of course, South Korea), felt it was in their interest to come out with a false report assigning blame for the sinking of the Cheonan to a North Korean torpedo.

 

C'mon you can't be serious. All that was over 3 decades ago. If you are gonna link something then you should probably read it because it just completely under mined your point about the US overtly threatening to use nuclear weapons against NK under any recent administration.

 

They'd also have to deal with a permanent, violent insurgency. Not sure peaceful, successful conquest is possible in today's world.

 

In this case, the "party" are of multiple nationalities: including South Koreans, Canadians, and Americans, who have disputed the conclusions by Joint Military-Civilian Investigation Group.

First you said you didn't know when the U.S. ever [emphasis mine] threatened nuclear attack against NK. Now you are saying it was anything but recent.

Does this mean I should stockpile TVs and cell phones?
