America has been the dominant force in defeating the most evil ideologies (such as Nazism and communism) in the world. Had it not been for the US military most of the free democratic nations we see today would not be standing. That you do not acknowledge and credit the US for this, tells volumes for how deep rooted your hatred of America is.Your hatred of America has been noted. I never claimed that Americans can't fight. If anything, modern history has proven that no people can be as tough as Americans during war.
Actually, we aren't all we are cracked up to be as fighters. Most of our wars we've won we won with the help of allies who did most of the heavy lifting. (WWI, WWII). Other wars, we got into fights with third world countries who handed us our asses (Vietnam, Iraq).
And then we have things we ought to be truly ashamed of. But most Americans don't even realize we ever fought a war in the Philippines that killed up to half a million Filipinos.
The N. Korean regime will not respond diplomatically and in good faith if it is not facing total annihilation and destruction. That's just how these regimes operate.
I'm curious why you think a paranoid regime is going to respond all that well to empty threats? They know we won't attack as long as they can wipe out half of South Korea was a conventional artillery barrage. They also know that as long as China has their backs, there isn't much we can do to touch them.
The other techniques of playing nice and "let's talk" that have been tried in the last three decades, including The efforts by disastrous week Obama administration have failed dramatically.
How do you count "failure". I consider "There wasn't a war and thousands of people didn't die" to be pretty much a success.
After decades of showing weakness and appeasement and signing agreements that the N. Koreans never meant to keep, we are finally addressing the issue up front and without any ambigiouity. If the N Koreans do not stop shooting missiles at our allies and threatening their sovereignty and violating their airspace, and realize that they are running out of time, the US and its allies will make an example out of them and will wipe them off the face of the planet.
