North Korea breaks off nuclear talks with US

[Desk trauma]

Waiting on backup. I'm not Rambo.

How convenient.

I know. We never do things for the right reasons. That's my point. There are worthy causes to fight for but the government isn't interested.

I fail to see the difference. President Bush naively thought that liberating Iraq from a repressive dictator would "allow democracy to flourish". Liberating N. Korea may not result in the outcome you expect...regardless of good intentions.

Sure it is. Our number one goal should be stamping out communism. We should always fight for the people. Instead we just turn away and ignore what goes on in the world so we can better our own personal situation.

How many American servicemen and women are you willing to sacrifice in order to invade North Korea?

And just the general population of Seoul. US would win a theoretical war (provided China doesn't intervene), but the opening days would be devastating. Artillery would rain down on Seoul.

Conveniently, US Forces Korea is no longer located in Seoul.

As awful as the Soviet Union was its probly better for everyone that we waited it out rather than trying for a hot engagement with them directly.

Sure, but Seoul is in a hostage position anyway.

What do the people of North Korea want?
What do they believe about Kim Jong-un?
If Kim Jong-un were overthrown and killed would they rejoice or would they mourn?
idk

My guess is that they would rejoice. Freedom is a good thing. Peoples freedoms are worth more than oil and we don't hesitate to go after oil.

In a rare moment, you break with Trump on this one...

Trump on Kim Jong Un and North Korea: "His country does love him. His people...you see the fervor. They have a great fervor."

How can you argue with that? They love their brutal dictator. They've got a great fervor.

Trump is so easily led. What a sucker. Maybe thats why he thinks we're so easily led?

Trump is sooo jealous. Fervor envy.

I disagree with him all the time.

As many as it takes.

That's true, you never know what would happen. Discussing it here and it actually being my decision to put a plan in action are two different things. I understand that.

We’re going to need a much larger military to overthrow all the governments on your hit list. Do you support enslaveing, I mean drafting, people to die in all these wars as well?

Everyone should serve. That's how we stay free.

 

[Speedwell]

Everyone should serve if it is necessary to stay free. That's not the same thing as drafting people to fight a pointless war in Asia.

 

[Fantine]

Uh-oh. No more love letters.

Kim Jung Un just sent him a "Dear Don" letter.

So free the state can march you off to die for it against your will.

 

[Jonathan Walkerin]

As many as it takes.

People over conscription age are always so ready to throw younger folks to fire.

People educating themselves would probably yield better results.
