I’m done with ya, its obvious you don’t understand the area.

I understand that you would rather kiss Kim's ass and submit to perpetual blackmail and think it's a fine idea for the rest of the world.

What you don't understand is that there IS something worse than war.

It's called living on your knees, something I suspect you would be ok with.

“I understand that you would rather kiss Kim’s ass and submit to perpetual blackmail and think it’s a fine idea for the rest of the world.”

How is he blackmailing the US?

“What you don’t understand is that there IS something worse than war.”

Sure there is. How is what is occurring now worse for the US than attacking the North and killing millions of people?

Why is it an either-or for you?

Just seal the dang border and tell lil’ Kimmie to follow that Juche (self-reliance) philosphy the Norks love so much.

Considering that they can’t grow enough food to feed themselves, produce enough electricity to power themselves, or make any of the weaponry they use to threaten us with... lil’ Kimmie wouldn’t be in a position to do jack-squat in that situation.

And eventually, even he’d feel the hunger pangs as their food distribution network broke down. Though, most likely, the military would depose him as soon as *THEY* felt the hunger pangs.
