I haven't advocated full scale war at all. I advocate what John Bolton advocated which was a surgical strike on North Korea to eliminate Kim's nuclear capability.

The political results of such a strike would have caused so much loss of 'face' for Kim, that it is unlikely that his regime could have survived. The population believes he is nothing less than a god, to see their 'god' smacked down by the evil imperialists would be too much for ANY of them to endure.

Bush sent food, which while propping up Kim [emphasis mine, mkj] it also fed many many people whose only other option was cannibalism.

And the cannibalism continues, as AiT and TigerLikesRooster can probably confirm for you. A fat lot o' good that 'help' from Bush did, eh?

We can approach the threat of North Korea in two different ways:

a.) wring our hands and fear 'what' they might do if we were to launch a preemptive strike.

b.) launch the damn preemptive strike and let the chips fall where they may.

The criminal/Commie syndicate known as the Kim family have been raping that country since the 1950's, how much more time should they be given?

Mk you have BDS.

Do you have any first hand experience with the Korean culture?

‘b.) launch the damn preemptive strike and let the chips fall where they may.”

Those CHIPS are the lives of MILLIONS of people in South Korea, Japan, China, eventually America and certainly others.
