What would you do regarding north korea??

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Just curious what you guys think should be done about north korea. They have the missiles, HBombs and nukes, hackers, chemical weapons etc...

Trump just said if necessary we will totally annihilate North Korea.

We have basically reached a point where a line in the sand has been drawn and NK gave us the finger while crossing the line.


You're the president, what would you do?

 

[ArmedCorgi]

This is a difficult question. My best answer, without committing to one of the poll answers, is that isf NK really is a mortal threat to out country, then my answer would be D. go all out taking them out, set an example for Iran to think about. But if NK really is not the threat they've been made out to be, then A. leave it alone.

 

[Jmac00]

Rocketman is a little turd, he won't do anything. I'd park a couple nuclear subs 20 miles off his coast. if he does anything stupid, he'll have about 5 minutes to react

 

[timboy]

Wait for them to make a real attack attempt on our homeland then take out anything government owned.

 

[Burzum]

They have proven to be provocative and likely that they have no desire to be peacefully vested in MAD; a city should be nuked for every American service person killed after the 1953 ceasefire, that being said since they have murdered over a dozen, I say make them a moonscape.

Besides nukes have a shelf life and it has been a while since we have seen the beauty of a mushroom cloud.

Ill take choice E
Tell all his closest associates they can have a great, free life in the USA with all the money they need if they take out lil kim.
Or choice F
Tell Kim that China called him a pussy. Then let China take care of him.

I think trump has been pushing China to take him out and fill the power vacuum. China doesn't seem interested in making fat boy disappear...

 

[ADK]

Fry the Fat Boy an use the grease to lube the chains for the ovens.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

I'm somewhere between choices C and D.

I think diplomacy with them is a waste of jet fuel and ink and paper. I also don't think China will do anything to help us. That leaves us with the option to do nothing, or attack.

In somewhere between a limited surgical strike and an all out attack.

I think my opinion would be based on our Intel. If we just take out their nuke and missile infrastructure BUT leave Kim alone and still in power...would be lick his wounds and go home, or would he react like an angry brat and unleash his artillery on Seoul. Even knowing that would sign his death warrant?

If we can eliminate their nuke infrastructure and all delivery capabilities while killings bunch of their scientists and killing their program I'm ok with that. And would be satisfied.

But if doing just that would trigger fat boy to rage quit, well then F him. Then I would go all out and wipe out any means they have to wreck havoc on South Korea.

I dont think we can leave them alone. I do think they are a threat and they will share deadly technology with our enemies if permitted to do so. North Korea needs to have that capability taken from them since they don't peacefully give it up.

 

[Gunright]

I will take choice E: Take out every government and military asset using whatever means necessary, including strategic nuclear weapons.
The current situation will only get worse (as it has been over the last 10 years) until they will have the means to lay waste to American cities. Even worse, they will sell that technology to other folks who couldn't give a shit about MAD like Iran.

Everything in the country is a government / military asset. Its a socialist paradise - everything belongs to the government, which is the military.

 

[Frankly]

What happens after you take out Kim and destroy however much of the infrastructure? I'd be fine with letting everyone else pick up the pieces but we should know from past experiences that it won't happen.

Our do-gooders will ensure we have delightful and vibrant radioactive North Korean refugees in every neighborhood and Kimchi on every block.

Watch your dogs.

It's China's problem not ours. MYOB

 

[Acer-m14]

there is no talking to him .. with what we have these days we know if he launches something at us .. there will be sorties in the air to knock it down ..
then we dial ... enola gay ... i would just hope that the ones there that know and hate him can run to the south fast and S Korea be kind to them ..

 

[Apeman]

I say we use his missiles for target practice. Every time he sends up a test missile we shoot it down.
There's not much chance of him getting a nuke anywhere near the US. It would be shot down before it reaches us. Problem is the longer we wait the better his missiles get. He has the power to wipe Seoul off the map and that's the problem. If he gets backed into a corner he will launch everything he has. He'll take out Japan too.
Best thing would be to accelerate the assassination squad and put a bullet in him or poison him.

I'm with the Corgi. Not having access to classified intelligence and what exactly the DPRK's capabilities are (assuming the intel is accurate; it's assumed to be one of the most closed-off nations on the planet), I'm limited to what the Lamestream Media tells us..

I don't like the USA getting involved in every little conflict on the globe, however there is a difference between idle threats to our country and having the means to act on said threats (and not being afraid to do so). They may or may not be able to hit the mainland, but they obviously have the ability to hit Japan and even Guam. Can they be nuclear-tipped? Again likely only available in classified briefings.

Sorry for the flip-floppy answer, but while the emotional side of me would want to just flatten the country, that would be unfair to the millions of citizens who have no control over their dictator. Part of me thinks a targeted assassination is the answer, but that would just leave a power vacuum and some NK General would take over and possibly be worse. Maybe a targeted EMP over their main military bases? Most of the country is without power anyway...

Given that North Korea is sandwiched between China and South Korea and only has a population of about 25 million , China would swallow that real estate up and say "thank you."

The situation sucks,
1) Truman should have never pulled the crap he pulled to get the US over there in 1950,

2) once there-MacArthur should have never crossed the Yellow River against Chinese warnings giving them the pretext to enter the war,

3) once China was involved, the US should have used tactical nukes instead of murdering 38,000 American boys in a futile conflict,

4) once during the ceasefire South Korea started taking US manufacturing jobs, America should have told North Korea, "hey guys South Korea is all yours" and America should have left the peninsula for good.

 

[pjzwtl]

Trump should really make the globalist and snowflakes heads explode and send out a tweet offering 10 million for fat boys head. It may be the only shot fired

That's one of the best ideas yet, pure entertainment value

 

[holdover]

Arm south Korea and Japan with nukes and walk away. Its not worth it. In the mean time work to educate people and begin a resistance in NK and attempt an overthrow him in a few years.

A nuclear attack is an insane idea unless we are retaliating.

 

[GOPerfect]

I personally have no use for diplomacy in regards to North Korea. None of it works.

North Korea has every right to defend themselves as a Nation.

NK has every right to arm themselves with whatever they feel they need.

Who the hell do we think we are telling another, free nation what they can and cannot have in the way of defense?

Can anyone tell me the last time the North Koreans attacked another Nation? No, I didn't think so.

Have they launched thousands of bombs into other Countries that I do not know about? I am pretty up on current events and I cannot remember the last time they attacked another nation with their military.

Granted, If they do launch against a Nation that we consider friendly to the US, I say:

All out attack to cripple their offensive capabilities even up to including targeted tactical nukes

Send them Amy Schumer. Unconditional surrender will follow soon thereafter.

I'm not so sure about that. We already sent him Dennis Rodman a couple of times and that didn't work.

lol

There is one big difference, that there is always the possibility to find someone who might stand Dennis Rodman.

sweeten the pot and give them Chuck and Nancy also.

I worded that wrong, I knew that. I was thinking more recent history. I should have been more specific.

well in 76 they did attack a US patrol in the DMZ. We should have crushed them then.

 

[dsdmmat]

The north has always threatened to attack their neighbors to the south. The only thing stopping them is the USA's ability to turn their country into a radioactive wasteland. We have found a lot of tunnels into SK that they could have ran an entire division through. It is not like they are an innocent bystander in this whole mess. The north uses their war rhetoric to extort money and supplies from the rest of the world.

 

[GOPerfect]

There have been a few times in recent history that they have engaged us or our allies that should have been met with serious force.
