I generally agree with this assessment.

We have to realize that our enemies will always win the propaganda war in the international press - we will have to settle for being feared rather than loved.

With a Chamberlain-style appeaser in Seoul, our options are limited.

The genius of Machiavelli. It is not only better to be feared than loved it is essential. While you can give other nations reasons to love you, you must always give those who can harm you reasons to fear you.

Repeat after me..."Devastating surgical airstrikes on nuclear sites." Now, one more time...."Devastating surgical airstrikes on nuclear sites." There, now you should feel be feeling better. Get a good night's sleep and please read this post in the morning. Happy Holidays from Alaska.
