>> a few tricks up its sleeve that wouldn’t involve the decimation of Seoul.

I prefer Trump’s rhetoric than Mattis’ comforting words to the Left.

I prefer a plan that solves the North Korea problem while not decimating Seoul, over a plan that solves the North Korea problem while accepting the decimation of Seoul.

Some posters here are saying that they want South Korea to take the lead in dealing with the Norks, or even going it alone without our help. Well, I will say that we are far more likely to get their buy-in and support if we at least make a good-faith effort to have a plan to protect their nation’s capital and largest and most important city.

The city of Seoul has a population of 10 million people. The overall metropolitan area has a population of 25 million. That’s HALF of the entire population of South Korea. Seoul IS South Korea. They will never accept any plan that implicitly sacrifices that city.
