Rasmussen now says that President For Life Barrack Hussein Odumbo’s approval ratings are at 44%. The ONLY thing that could save his re-election would be a MAJOR turn around in the economy (extremely doubtful) or a military conflict (extremely likely).

Which way do YOU think Odumbo is hoping brings up his numbers?

Interesting times, my friends. Interesting times ...

That’s a perfectly valid point, but I don’t think 0 could be seen as starting the war. His base would flip out over that.

He does not need to be seen as starting a war. He has made America seem weak and our enemies find that provocative. They attack and we, as loyal Americans, will rally to support the Commander In Chief, even if he is a steaming sack of Chicago slaughterhouse dung.

I think already we could shoot down anything they launched. And they might have one or 2. Maybe,,, theyve detonated a few tests one of which was a dud. A delverable device is another thing. And if they dared to fire off a nuke, they would still lose the war. (Only it would be in about 15 minutes.)

And this time the Chinese stay out. When they attached before, they didnt depend on American markets, and hold a frightening amout of IOUs from us. They do more hard economic trade with South Korea than with the North. And south Korea is something like 45 times the size of the Norks economically.

Last, their harshly centralized society makes then nearly paralyzed in the face of a modern Western military. How would you like to be the Nork general that tries to move his troops without orders? Pyonyang would likely perceive it as a possible coup. They are paralyzed without orders from on high,,, and their communications will quickly become a prime target when the shooting starts.

Or a backroom deal between China and Obama, China says “ we Chinese will deal with Kimby on our own in our way with the condition, Taiwan becomes ours “ ... and Obama would respond, “ I’ll drink to that, no work, no fuss, all is well “

" From the US State Department web site, about the NK military: North Korean forces have a substantial numerical advantage over the South (around 2 to 1) in several key categories of offensive weapons--tanks, long-range artillery, and armored personnel carriers. The North has one of the world's largest special operations forces, designed for insertion behind the lines in wartime. Not very comforting. "

There is one thing that trumps all of that, the South Koreans got food, a 1 million man army is no good without food and water....

And it certainly would send a message to anyone smart enough to get the point.

And a SCOTUS nominee that prefers strap-ons instead of the natural thing.

Doubt it. South Korea has more stuff pointed at it than just about any other country on the planet.

At least in terms of conventional...
