OK, you've all heard it here first.
I really can't claim original credit for this, as it came to me after reading the following posts on another forum.
Amish Tech Support: nekom: I'm conflicted. I hate drumpf as much as anyone, but this whole Best Korea nonsense really does need to end. I mean, if you stack it all up it makes a hell of a lot more sense than Iraq ever did. And yes, yes, I know counterpoint: But China and to a lesser extent Russia! Still though... I dunno.
The thing is, if we do this and start a war we own it. The world will expect us to reconstruct the north. It will cost a fortune.
The innkeeper: Be a yuuuge opportunity for my closest friends....
So imagine that the fecal matter hits the fan and Lil' Kim launches a nuke, or orders an attack on SK. Whatever. And (of course) we pound him into the ground. It's more of a curbstomp than Desert Storm.
Note: South Korea on its own could probably take out NK; with SK and the US, it will be over fairly quickly. This assumes, of course, that Trump has made prior arrangements with the Chinese (a scenario I find likely).
So: One week and the entire NK command/logistics structure has collapsed and starving NK troops are surrendering in droves. Particularly after word spreads that the Demon Americans are not, in fact, demons.
Oh, yeah, it will cost hundreds of billions.
But Donald Trump's billionaire friends will step forward to help out with offers of secure work for the destitute NK peasants.
Think of it: a guaranteed slave labor force of millions.
Yup. That's worth sending middle and lower class kids to get killed.
