Gee...sounds like a winning strategy. "Tit for tat."

I sure am glad we have such a fantastic military mind running this place (/sarc)

[matt1234]

Pure folly. Translation of “tit-for-tat”: restricting the US military so that it never exercises any capabilities beyond the NORK’s. This is how liberals fight—and lose—wars.

[clintonh8r]

Ridiculous non-strategy. WTF do they have that would be a comparable target to anything we have? Tit-for-tat my azz.

[PapaNew]

Oh, I see, so we wait for them to obliterate us and then we, who don't exist anymore, obliterate them.

The theory is that the nukes have so altered the time-space continuum that we, in the afterlife, can still retaliate in kind. What a great idea.

[familyop]

Oh, thank you Great-t Brit-tain, for teaching our American global sub-leaders in business, politics and academia how to cao-tao and make dirty deals with our foreign enemies against us.

[Revolting cat!]

Tits for tats? How about tats on tits?

If the North Koreans were to shell a South Korean island that had military installations, the plan calls for the South to retaliate quickly with a barrage of artillery of similar intensity, the paper noted.

Sorry, that's the stupidest plan I ever heard of. If you're going to get in a fight, you fight to win it in the quickest amount of time possible.

Hitler and Stalin were mentally stable compared to the Nork "leader". Kim needs to be taken out and killed by any means necessary, not engaged in a global chess game.

How wise. If only the free world had had his guidance at the start of WW II. Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor in sneak attack. Bomb Midway in sneak attack, too. Then offer Hawaii in keeping with ‘land for piece’ policy. Ah, so./sarc

tit for tat responses are what North Korea loves to see

proportional responses are stupid, they encourage more bad behavior

From the article:

"...the New York Times reported last night, citing unnamed US officials."

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Sounds more like a Bill Clinton strategy. You give me the “tit” and I’ll give you the “tat”.

Sorry to be so crude but this regime is such a disgrace and so cowardly that you often can’t think of anything logical in their thinking to explain it.

[Fedora]

This “strategy” sounds like a football coach announcing that his team plans to rush for 1 yard in response to each yard the other team gains.

[patriotsblood]

That is inconsistent with U.S. Military warfare doctrine, as least the way I recall it back in training at Ft. Benning. The doctrine calls for the use of overwhelming forct applied to the weakest part of the enemy’s forces.
