The delusions looks pretty correct. There is no “Military option” unless we want to get into a full scale war with China. That was a losing proposition 60 odd years ago, and still is today. No amount of bullshit or so called sanctions is going to make NK give up their nukes. Behind the scenes, no doubt China is encouraging and supporting them and that is unlikely to change...ever. Maybe we should just Nuklearize Japan and let them offset some of the areas BS and problems.
Japan Taiwan and S Korea need Nukes for self defense.
“Maybe we should just Nuklearize Japan and let them offset some of the areas BS and problems.”
Nobody in Asia should be so stupid as to piss off Japan.
IIRC we had a plan to wipe out 10 russian cites and the russian didn’t want that because of all the lives they cost last century. That was called Mutually Assured destruction. You point we don’t want a war with China and it is inevitable if we go to NK. i point not so much. If we wiped out the top 10 chances cites. stye might prefer to not have a war with us and enjoy the fruits of their economic growth and new age. I would tell China what i would do an for before i do it and then say, you had a chance to prevent this now we’re under threat and you can stand down or not, we’re stopping this insanity.
