It is funny how some folks will talk about how the media is feeding them propaganda. Everything against Trump is propaganda. Everything against conservatives is propaganda.
But when it “speaks” to the desire to blow shit up....some people buy it hook line and sinker. To some, they are a hammer looking for a nail.
North Korea does not have a death wish.
We got our asses kicked in North Korea 70 years ago. And all it did was get 50k+ Americans killed. We do not have the wherewithal to invade anyone. And we certainly do not have the resources to take on China.
There are no good reasons to per-emptively attack anyone.
I don’t disagree with many of your assessments, but a few points about potential conflict with N. Korea. Most of the Nork military could be dismantled by air power as we would enjoy complete air superiority because it is very unlikely that China would intervene as they did in the 50’s.
I question their ability to effectively strike our nation with nuclear weapons, but I also question our inability to take threats seriously from the Norks, Iran, and other dangerous regimes when they repeatedly tell us over and over what they will do.
Their “dear leader” appears to be quite irrational and given a desperate situation I would not put anything past him. He does not appear to take advice from anyone nor does he appear to care about his own people. Past administrations have kicked the can on this problem and the current missile and nuclear tests do change the equation.
Trump seems to understand the most effective way to deal with N. Korea - pressure China. China does not have the relationship or history with the current ding dong that they did previously so this might be much more effective.
Outside of that, I certainly have no stomach or desire to see another full-blown conflict on the Korean peninsula. We spilled enough blood there.
