To answer your question, NK has crossed a line by both threatening a nuclear attack and developing a nuclear delivery system. The threat should be eliminated because of the extreme asymetrical devastation which NK can inflict with nuclear weapons. We are now risking the deadly mistake of thinking that we can predict the behavior of an unstable child.
And yes in a future scenario NK can be China’s way of destroying a US city without direct responsibility. China should be told that if they don’t eliminate the threat asap we will be doing so.
Attacking NK is the answer? That basically would be declaring war on China, so where will that get us?
If NK attacks us, it’s simply a proxy attack by China, and then where are we?
How do you propose we eliminate said “threats”?
I agree, BUT, told by whom?
