So you prefer the Obama/Clinton style which is - bend over, grab ankles and give in style of "negotiation"....which has resulted in such love and cooperation from North Korea towards America.......
This would be thread # 5,856,943 by the Communist, anti-American, hating, Alt-Left, George Soros paid butt-hurt crowd
There is a world of options between the Obama style and the "we will have a war no matter what" options.
You can take your "Communist, anti-American, hating, Alt-Left, George Soros" and shove it up your ass. I am further right than anyone I have found on this board and I love this ******* country enough to have given 20 years of my life to the Marine Corps. So, till you have stood on the yellow footprints you can just shut the hell up.
GD computer commandos all gung ho from the safety of their fat asses sitting behind their computers.
I agree a peaceful resolution would be ideal. I'm no war hawk, and as you suggest, I am one of those people sitting on my ass (though it's not flabby thank you very much), so I won't be gearing up for battle. For that, we should all be forever grateful and appreciate those who sacrifice on the front lines.
However, let's be objective here, there is no good option. If North Korea is hellbent on being a nuclear power there are 1000's of lives lost now (many more North Korean than American), or, there is the potential for millions lost and major cities wiped out for 50 years.
Knowing history and the impulses of dictators, unfortunately I don't think this ends happily. Especially due to China's excessive meddling in North Korea's success.
Oh, and if this also gives America the ability to punish China and turn back their economy a decade, even better. There has been a concerted effort to destroy America and individual liberty. To hell with all of them.
