Hardly. Obama would rather send N Korea an aid package to keep them alive and well.
This will never happen with Obama still in office.
Here doggie!!
Will obama leave office before the world is set on fire?
Is this from a Middle School newspaper? What kind of journalist would do a story on something this sensitive by citing something as meaningless as a think tank study group report, and then source it on public comments by an ambassador and the White House spokesman? Good job, boys. You’ve covered all the bases. Nothing going on here. Let’s move along.
Hypothetically, if the US were to do a pre-emptive strike, how would the Chinese respond?
Scary thought.
Obama’s in China’s pocket - he’s as likely to strike at N. Korea as he is to nuke Iran...
Obama is more likely to make a preemptive strike on South Korea.
It should’ve been done by Bush. It’ll never be done by Obama. He’ll send them flowers.
An opportune moment for Obama to suspend the election and declare Martial Law.
What a ridiculous article. Don’t the South Koreans know that Bath House is gelded, and besides she would not attack a fellow-traveler anyway?
And what threat does Korea pose to the US?
Sure, South Korea and Japan could be hurt pretty badly, but there is not a single reason that makes sense for US to attack them.
The army and navy are at Pre WWII levels. There is no treasury available to spend on another war. After years of kids coming home without arms and legs, and with traumatic brain injuries, the US people would not support another full scale war.
Imagine the losses in Korea. In the first Korean war the country experienced losses about equal to the Viet Nam War in 1/3 of the time. Our citizens are not ready or prepared for that.
Imagine loosing a Carrier group to a Chinese bomb or swarm of hypersonic missiles. Do you think we would suck up 5,000 sailors lost in a day?
We could wipe North Korea off the peninsula in about ten minutes.
So, what would the rationale be for US starting by attacking them with little to no prelude?
The current administration would love to stir up some conflict somewhere in hopes of giving Hillary a bump in the polls. Bill Clinton did this in Iraq to distract from the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Huma Abedin was a White House intern at that time, and she wrote this in a journal that was later published:
I wonder if Bill Clinton and Anthony Weiner were Hillary’s and Huma’s beards.
