I would send in the Special Forces, I would walk them right in. Anyone who shoots at us dies, we have complete control.
China will never fight us, not in our life, right now China is at its weakest militarily, weaker at any other point in history. You think China will bite the hand that feeds, first thing that will happen is all the foreign engineers in the country would flee, China knows this, China understands it is not the Chinese building China, its the Western Conservative Capitalist ideals building China.
It is perfect timing, destroy the regime in North Korea.
A nice Special Force's action.
You want to know who's really weak?
We are.
If Iran can move to control the Straight of Hormuz and/or regional oil production, we're royally fucked. We're talking rationing and difficulty keeping our military running. If OPEC, which is not made up of our allies, supports Iran, we could be in big trouble. If we dedicate forces to securing our oil supply, then we weaken our offense everywhere else.
If we're tied up with Iran and NK (possibly w/ Chinese support, be it openly or behind the scenes), how can we aid Israel if the surrounding nation-states or non-state entities decide it's time to make a move while the U.S. is distracted? How long will it take us to get American manufacturing up to where it needs to be to fuel the war effort ala' WWII?
Then there's AQ and other terrorist organizations which would love the opportunity and excuse to attack our homeland again, with Mexico providing ample room and opportunity to gather, plan, and prepare- with relative ease crossing over the border to get into the States.
This could get really ugly really quickly with Israel fighting for its existence, us trying to defend our homeland while tied up in Iraq, Afghanistan, The UAE/Kuwait/elsewhere in the region, Korea... Even with the British and whatever coalition we might be able to gather together after the last 8 years, we're looking at a pretty grim situation.
Rushing headlong into war in NK could easily provide the opportunities our enemies are looking for and lead us straight into World War Three. It's happened twice before, so don't give me a bunch of bullshit about how it won't happen again.
We simply cannot afford to let the warhawks go diving into another clusterfuck in Korea right now.
