Are you suggesting we wait for all those elements to be in place before we act forcefully?
Or before we notify them of the consequences of developing a nuclear strike threat to the US mainland?
No. We should confront this situation now. And we should do so stridently and clearly.
Remember, Iran and others are watching.
We are acting forcefully, short of shooting at them.
The sanctions are going to hurt, but they take time.
We are rapidly building up an anti-missile interceptor ring around NK. Let’s perfect that, see what happens.
Lat but not least, why not vaporize the USS Pueblo? It’s our property, give them 24 hours to give it back or bomb it.
NK is more impulsive than we are, let’s play our cards from strength.
