“Looks like full blown neocon madness is back.”
Ludicrous.
Norklandia has developed nukes and threatened to use them against the US. Not just as a result of a US assault, but “because”.
They are a direct and immediate existential threat to the US and allies in the region.
This would be a legitimate act of pre-emptive self defense...even for a Paleoconservative such as myself.
If you think this is a Neocon-driven crisis you are sorely in need of reeducation.
This issue is a distraction. There is no solution to Korea until after all foreign soldiers have left the penninsula. Until then, there will be an NK with nuclear wepaons pointed at us from now until kingdom come. China and Russia will not back down on their own borders. They care about things besides money. Any war in Korea will be the end of the admin. that starts it. And a 2006 style blowout for the party. Trump’s posturing is not credible because the other side knows Trump can’t survive a war politically.
