I will tell you how not to deal with North Korea. What not to do. 1) Don't apply the @
donttread method of geopolitics. Don't pretend it's not happening. Don't believe that should you withdraw your 30,000 troops the North Koreans will cease development of intercontinental ballistic missile and nuclear weapon technology. Stop threatening South Korea, Japan, and the entire Pacific Rim. China will step up, China won't let anything get out of hand. 2) Don't apply the @
Peter1469 reaction method of opposition. Merely respond to whatever they are doing, this also calls for the withdrawal of forces in Korea. South Korea can handle itself, regional powers can handle any power shifts or aggressive military movements by North Korea. China and Russia will prevent them from further developing their nuclear capabilities. Containment. Sanction.
3) Or the @
Ethereal favorite....blockade. Starvation. The complete disruption of the North Korean economy, a holocaust of sorts to stamp out the bad people.
We increase forces in Korea. We add offensive firepower. We know the exact layout of the Korean Peninsula better than the North Koreans do. We call bluffs, we snarl and growl......and we do so at China. Trump has this correct. You tell the Chinese Premier, either you f'n do something about this....or we are.
