North Korean Threat

Kim Jong Un has said he will never stop his nuclear program. He has regularly said he will destroy America with them, so the United States simply cannot trust him to have weapons and not use them. He is too unstable. That means there has to be a war to end his regime.

The military should immediately create plans and/or put together a set of plans which our political leaders can study. We should be able to act decisively and with as much destruction to the regime as possible and as little collateral damage to Korea and surrounding nations as possible.

This may mean an assassination plan or a plan wherein the United States acts alone without South Korea or other possibilities I haven't imagined.

The world seems to care naught for Korea and the people there. It's amazing. I hope Kim isn't being advised by someone outside of Korea because that would mean a wider involvement of nations. Certainly the Chinese companies selling weaponry to Kim are complicit in this. Not unlike the makers of the Titanic who used second-rate steel under the assumption the ship would never sink. They made a big profit, but a lot of people died. In a war with Kim there could be an effect far beyond the Korean peninsula.

One would have to think the Chinese and Russians would have a strong reason to avoid war since they repeatedly say they are concerned about Korean refugees flooding into their countries -- particularly China. But, if Kim is just obstinate, then even China will suffer from this disaster.

Can the rest of the world act in any way to prevent the disaster? I cannot imagine they could possibly accuse the United States of a crime. Could they be accused of negligence for not doing more to intervene?

This is a sad sad day.
