Part of me thinks that we ought to be playing to Kim’s potential political opposition in North Korea. We should make it clear that if he persists in being a madman we will first target him as we did Bin Laden. If they want North Korea to come out of that unscathed then they need to either stand down when we come for him, or remove him from leadership themselves.

If they do those things, and abandon their nuke program, we will hold the new leadership as in good standing with the US, unless they commit human rights violations. I’m confident that there are a ton of generals in North Korea who don’t want to be a target of the US, and who would rather lose Kim as their leader than to lose their lives and put their families at risk from war.

The west has zero credibility in protecting people in nations oppressed by tyrants..... Zero....

I somewhat agree with you, but we are capable of killing Kim ourselves. With that said, can you imagine the fake news screaming for impeachment if that happened under Trump, while Obama removed leaders from Libya and Egypt without so much as a peep from the press?

You forget that Nork Generals have never been in a war, or any combat for that matter. They have zero experience of what a real shooting match would be like, are all allowed to serve based only on their loyalty to The One alone, not their military expertise. If the balloon goes up I doubt they would move an inch against Dear Leader.

NK is pyschologically damaged. These people pray to statues of the Kims everyday.
