Just give them the Rhineland so we may have peace!The U.S. and South Korea are in a pretty shitty spot. Of course defeating North Korea in the end would be a cakewalk, but not before South Korea is devastated. And that's just by conventional artillery. It looks like our best bet at this point is containment, and hopes that Kim is assassinated by one of his own.
Containment only lends him time to increase his capabilities. This applies to his plans for SK as well.
If he is assassinated, well and good, but that won't guarantee his cadre of generals won't carry on after him.
That's why we're in such a shitty spot at the moment, and I agree it will probably only get worse. Unless we're willing to risk a devastating artillery bombardment of South Korea we may have to accept North Korea as a nuclear power. It sucks, but it won't be the first or last time we have been forced to allow an adversary to obtain nuclear weapons.
Those were FDR's opponents, ANY indication what the US WILL do? Has the President noticed this, commented upon the events?
