It would be a tragic mistake to make a limited response to whatever NK does. If we have to move, the goal has to be annihilation of the ruling party and reunification of Korea.
But at what cost?
Agreed, not partial responses. If we respond militarily it needs to be immediate, total annihilation. Minimize the risk to any American lives. Give North Korea no chance to respond.
But don't stop until the fat kid and all his generals are smoking piles of flesh ready to be fed to NK/s starving dogs. That kind of thing sends a clear msg to the entire world.
No more Mr. nice guy. Earthlings take note.
