A better alternative would be to use nukes to such an extent that there is nothing left of NK to consider for “terrorist status.”
How about we invoke the status of “terrorist” in regard to our own survival.
We pay for all these frickin’ nukes, and never seem to deem any adversary worthy to use them on. What a waste of tax-payer dollars, as is all the worthless nonsense a third of my labor goes for.
The Middle East should have been a parking lot long ago, and the NKs should be now. ‘Nuff said.
Much cheaper and safer to encourage the PRC to just move in there and take over all of NK. They would do it for the right motivation. I could probably think of 1001 reasons why they should.
