    NK has engaged in aggressive threats and aggressive acts from the moment of its creation. It's objective has always been the conquest of S. Korea.

    The N.K. has not attacked S.K. Further ... if you go back and read what my post was responding to, you will find that the claim was that N.K. as also agressing against US and Japan.

    It is simply a statement of fact that most of the recent aggressive rhetoric coming out of N.K. is in response to the aggressive rhetoric and actions by the US.

    A massive attack like that would kill how many in SK, from radiation? Given much of NK, their defense infastructure is inside of mountains? You think if they have nukes and delivery systems, they keep them out in the open? Or, would they just roll them out and launch on the US? NK could take out our fleet off their coasts with a couple of nukes. In desperation, NK would know no bounds.

    Of course, if ETs really exist, and they indeed shut down our nukes in several locations, as documented, perhaps they will decide to rid the earth of the war monger nation....us. Or perhaps they will disable our nukes and not touch NK's?

    Some people think those ETs will not allow humanity to go insane and use nukes. Surely if they exist, they will know who is the greatest threat to others, having watched us in the middle east?

    Well, if such a thing ever happens, and given these ETs are much more intelligent than we are, we may be in the wrong position of being the greatest threat on earth. And they might need to take us out, given that fact. And be the rational actors. But then again, perhaps these ETs are evil, and want to be entertained, to see who is left standing? Some people supposedly believe this. For myself, I fear out insanity more than I fear the ETs, while not having a clue if they exist. But if they do, we might better hope they are evil and not good ones. For if they are evil, they could side with us. If good, we might be in deep do do. lol

    I wouldnt call it a rant but you can if you want

    North korea has made threats toward japan along with firing missles across their territory to show that tjey can fo what they say

    If kim is attacked by the US I expect he will lash out at s korea and japan as the experts predict

    Building and testing nuclear weapons is more than aggressive rhetoric.
    But I think a preemptive strike of any kind by the US would be a grave error.

    Firing the missile across Japan was IMO, and act of war.

    If Japan, Taiwan, SK, Vietnam and The Philippines are not working ASAP to nuke up they are led by fools who need to Google: Kurds USA for a clue.

    The only attack on NK that should be considered is a massive nuclear strike, unless we have something better that I have never heard of except on this thread.

    IMO, the US should not preemptively strike NK.

    Very unfortunate that past presidents have let things progress to this point instead of nipping it in the bud.

    Alloeing north korea to have the power to destroy the US would be a bigger mistake

    Four US presidents have tried for 30’years to peacefully persuade the kim dynasty and avoid war but they just keep plugging along

    Something has to be done

    The US has effectively armed NK. I do not think we should initiate war. We could start nuking up our allies in the region - fast.

    A preemptive strike would kill the fewest people on our side

    Unfortunately we may have no choice in the matter and that may be the only way left to stop crazy Kim from becoming a full fledged nuclear power which is completely unacceptable.

    The Korean war never ended,it's been an armed truce and NK has used this truce period to build a huge military and to get nukes. He could end the truce any day he feels like it now.

    The deal brokered by jimmy csrter and bill clinton was generous to the north but they armed themselves with nukes

    Exactly

    In the 80’s liberals opposed Star Wars

    If they hadnt maybe we would have a protective umbrella over Amefica that would render kim powerless

    But they loved MAD too much to let that happen

    Look ... the claim was about aggressive rhetoric of N.K towards US, Japan, S.K. The fact of the matter is this rhetoric was in response to the US aggressive rhetoric and aggressive actions... including rhetoric in relation to using nuclear weapons.

    It is not like Kim just woke up one morning and decided to threaten the US with a nuclear attack.

    This does not make Kim a good guy, or him building nuke a good thing. It is merely a correct assessment of the exchange.

    No, we dare not invade and have no choice for the accept the inevitability of the USA's 20 largest cities being obliterated, the USA economy obliterated and China's plan of taking control of over half the world via the promised N. Korean nuclear attack succeeding.

    This also will be the end of the Democratic Party since it is Democratic majority cities that would be obliterated. Still, those Democrats who remain and then definitely qualifying as a minority could hold "Democrat lives matter!" protests against Kim Jung Un.

    It was not N.K who called the US "part of the axis of Evil" and then attacked another nation that was part of that label.

    And know here we are and the decision we make with NK will change the world for generations. If we do nothing every country in the region will nuke up. If we stop Kim in his tracks by whatever means nuclear proliferation comes to a halt but there are huge risk that come with both of these scenarios. We are literally between a rock and a hard place and we have done it to ourselves by decades of appeasement.
