Loose talk about war with North Korea is irresponsible
Washington Post ^ | December 25, 2017 | John R. Kasich

Posted on 12/26/2017 11:53:41 AM PST by C19fan

With tensions continuing to build between the United States and North Korea, there’s growing talk by politicians and TV pundits that we are on the brink of war. In truth, we shouldn’t be anywhere close.

This increasingly hot war of words — including loose talk about the probability of war — does nothing to bring us closer to where we need to be on North Korea, especially when military options short of war remain on the table. In fact, with millions of lives at stake, waging a war of words is a distraction from the serious task at hand. Any kind of war — especially nuclear war — should not be an option until all other options are exhausted. And, in the case of North Korea, there are several roads not yet taken.

As if the well worn road Kasich wants to take has worked. During the 30+ years the Norks have developed nuclear weapons, and the systems to deliver those weapons if not already to the Continental US.

Wow. Kasich sounds like the Adult-in-the-Room.

Clearly, we should keep appeasing North Korea. It’s the only wise option.

At one time, many moons ago, I thought Kasich showed some potential.
I was mistaken.

This is exhibit A of why the establishment got thrashed last election - because their idea of sanity is doing more of what has failed to date. A concept Einstein properly labeled as insanity.

Kasich is a fool...

“Negotiations” since 1953 have accomplished absolutely ZERO with North Korea...

They will either revolt (not likely), start a conflict and be immolated (likely), or starve to death (very likely)

His whole bit is pretending to be above the fray.
He is just very arrogant.

Kasich is an idiot. He has potential to be the next Scarborough.

And loose missile launches into a sovereign nation’s airspace is universally recognized as an act of war!

Trump must be either laughing at this or shaking his head and rolling his eyes.

The key players in the North Korean crisis are the guys with the funny hats and the medals dangling from their chests that are always surrounding Kim. They and their families have wealth , status and privileged. They know better than anyone that if the fat , little lunatic Kim ever gave an order to start a war or launch a nuclear missile, it would all end. They would kill Kim and then cut a deal for themselves. Kim knows that and will only go so far. Best policy is to ignore North Korea and ignore its ear piercing shrieks and threats as it collapses economically.

Before the start of the 2016 campaign, my opinion of Kasich was neutral to positive. However, by the time Trump actually got the nomination, my chances of voting for Kasich were the same as me voting for Hillary. Even after the R convention, Kasich kept digging. I really think he was hoping that the GOPe would wrest the nomination from Trump and give it to him. Or that people would somehow write him in. He is just an a$$.

If Kasich somehow ever gets nominated, I am staying home on election day. He should just switch parties. Glad I don’t live in Ohio.

Cabbage head was one of the idiots claiming the Obama deal with the NORKs would prevent them from getting the nuclear weapons they now possess.

Auditioning for the role of America’s Neville Chamberlain.

The anti-Trump strategy for 2020 will include a primary challenge, a third party challenge, and an attempt to suppress the Green Party.

I’m not sure if this douche is the primary challenger or the third party. Maybe both.

I’d wager $10 that he couldn’t tell you who Neville Chamberlain was.
