This gets complicated in a way, in that, if military action is taken, and we resume the Korean War, then what?
We know that militarily, we can win such a war easily. But, for example, is South Korea ready to accept millions of refugees from North Korea, if war breaks out?
Is South Korea ready to unify and absorb North Korea, similar to how the two Germanys merged together?
There could be lots of fallout(pardon the pun as we speak of nukes in North Korea), lots of fallout if we and South Korea end up invading and occupying North Korea.
Pres Trump already said we are getting out of the nation building business-GW Bush should have taken us out of it after Afghanistan-look how that has turned out. Let NK’s neighbors deal with assisting to rebuild, repatriate people, etc-not our business any more once rocket man and his honchos are turned into ashes-give those people their freedom and their country back.
There is no need for us to occupy NK after it has been defeated-if the SK’s want to do that, let them-it is their relatives and friends who have been starved and imprisoned all these years in NK-I’m sure they will deal with the refugee problem just fine-I’d guess there will be plenty of rocket man’s former “subjects” who will be happy to have their country back to rebuild in a productive way. Korea is 2 countries because of meddling-mostly by the communists-they might do just fine without being micromanaged by us or anyone else.
And I don’t think most of us give a rat’s ass what the fools at the UN think...
