What is left to say at this point when it comes to that “Hermit Kingdom” everyone loves to hate? North Korea, or also known as the so-called Democratic People’s Republic, is the ultimate Pandora’s Box and every president’s worst nightmare: A-bombs, chemical toxins, biological weapons, and missiles to lob them all over the world—including now at the continental United States. And Pyongyang knows how to get the news cycle to turn its way—thanks to making Northeast Asia shake with nuclear weapons tests.
So, we just let them advance around the globe with impunity? That doesn’t sound very smart to me.
No. We are busy fighting Climate Change and racism. That in what was once the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America is what is important now.
Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Long live Free Taiwan. Those who advocate for the Chinese take-over of Taiwan are traitors to freedom and are advocating for the work of Satan.
I can’t help but recall that for 2,000 years the Chinese have been trying to extirpate the Vietnamese. And on every occasion they have failed. Today’s “victorious” Red Army is still a joke. A bad joke.
The United States ought not to indulge a persuasion that, contrary to the order of human events, they will forever keep at a distance those painful appeals to arms with which the history of every other nation abounds.When was the last time we were ready for war “at all times”? And does the US have a “reputation of weakness” now more than ever?
There is a rank due to the United States among nations which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness.
If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.
Once again I think of the tourist maps our invading army had to use in Grenada. Our military by now should have maps of EVERY country in this world where our military attaches are present. That’s what they’re there for. Every bridge + the width of every road for our vehicles/tanks. Every time we get involved in a skirmish these things come out like the Beruit victim who died on the flight to our hospital in Germany. Israel is next door and might have saved him.
1968. USS Pueblo. International waters. No backup. We were tied up in Viet Nam and I wonder if the Tet Offensive took advantage of that event where we did nothing. It was only AFTERWORDS the DOD established direct phone lines to the JCOS. Everything done after the fact like the(overdoing)airport procedure changes after 911. Could it have been all about money? There are interests that keep us from prevent actions as well as interests that encourage ‘limited’ conflict.
That may be true but if they did it, it would cause an economic catastrophe in the US. For one, overnight all of the computers and other electronic gadgets would disappear completely from the stores. You would not be able to buy a car, an airplane, a boat or anything else that depends on electronics.
In that sense North Korea has already collapsed. What happens when the current insane dynasty falls from power, though, might be manageable. It's going to depend on the people on scene, which we in the U.S. and the EU are not. I don't have much confidence in either the ability of the current State Department to identify the alternatives or the willingness of the rest of the current government to pursue the one most in the interest of the American public. U.S. foreign policy is for sale, run by petty tyrants, powermongers, and avaricious fools.
I don't think you are replying to anything I posted.
If it was revealed that the regime in North Korea had collapsed, my expectation at this point is that - before South Korea and/or the U.S. could stop it - China would move on the ground to occupy the north WITH the cooperation of the top North military commanders. That will be it, and South Korea especially will have to recalculate much of its foreign policy.
Agree !
China will be consolidating its control while Jill is trying to decide whether to wake SloJoe up.
Our so-called “president” is on their side.

N. Korea is rich in minerals, especially those needed for weaponry. We do not want China getting their hands on it.
Reunite the Koreas.

China would move to occupy the north WITH the cooperation of the top North military commanders. That will be it, and South Korea especially will have to recalculate much of its foreign policy.
The Chicoms occupying the North would bring stability. We could then pull out. The south is no danger to them. Let the Chicoms deal with the problem.
It would be best to realign the Korean. The North Korean people deserve to be free, especially the underground Church.
Post 11.
“The North Korean people deserve to be free, especially the underground Church.”
No they don’t. We thought that way in Iraq. The Nork people are brainwashed. Not worth the effort. Just look at how Russia is reacting with new NATO members. The Chicoms can stretch themselves thin by taking on the north and keeping it down and stable.
So you’re saying they’re undefeatable.
If you are willing to forgo any new personal, home, automotive, industrial, or military equipment dependent upon electronic chips—then by all means allow Taiwan to be taken. Three to five years and new production plants could possibly take the place of current facilities. There is the inherent assumption there, that you have the luxury of time without opposition.
