......I don’t think Kim is even relevant any more. This has all gone way too far thanks to Clintons, Bush’s and Obama. The “issue” is not “Kim” but their nuclear capability. If Kim were to drop dead today the nuclear capability is still there in the hands of other “Kims”.
China wants them to have this capability or they would not have it.
I think the US ultimately is going to have to do what McInerney said and that is, briefly stated, send one massive attack of 2,000 missiles to wipe out Korea’s ability to use it’s artillery on Seoul and leadership. In such an attack, Korea militarily is finished in minutes.
Then, allied troops will have to take over North Korea to insure this nuclear capability is destroyed totally. Then you have to confront China. Simply put, unless your’re prepared to roll the dice on losing several American Cities, there are no good options.
I wrote this on another thread, another arrow we have in our quiver:
One angle people don’t consider is we no doubt have footage/documentary of the likely Auschwitz-level human atrocities happening in NK. China DOES NOT want the embarassment of having provided cover and appeasement when the conditions are finally broadcast, a secret that the RATS, MenSeekingMen and Deep State have guarded with their lives.
Proof of the effects of socialism in Venezuela and communism in NK will set their ‘long march’ back decades once exposed.
All CINC has to say is he has the horrifying proof of Venezuelans hunting rats and flamingo and dumpster-diving for their dinner and NORKs eating *each other*. He could bring down the hipster status of Marxism down in one tweet.
China could care less about human rights or the environment, but they’ve spent billions on suppressing the actual proof of that.
To the spiritual people of the world, a peaceful re-unification of Korea and the NORKs brought up to global living standards is the goal, to the Deep State, preserving the Iran/NORK antagonism to the US is the goal.
