Ladies and Gentlemen, we are in a hostage situation. Kim Jong-On has basically held South Korea, Japan, and American interests in Asia hostage. The first rule of hostage negotiation is to calm the situation down, to prevent things from escalating, to establish communication with the hope of getting the hostage taker to back down. That is what we should do.

Instead we have a madman as our leader engaging in a shouting match with North Korea. It is as though there are two men with guns yelling at each other to shutup or I will shoot. That is not likely to have a happy ending. Neither can back down from the shouting match and save face. Eventually, one or the other is like to decide that a confrontation is inevitable, and that the best chance is to take the first shot.

There are no good options. In the link below, 4 options are presented with the problems with each.
Must We Accept a Nuclear North Korea?


1. Nuke them into the stone age: Retaliation is still likely. Unleashes an enormous humanitarian crisis, and America loses all goodwill abroad.
2. Surgical strikes: Substantial retaliation very likely.
3. Assassination: You can't kill them all. Whoever is left is likely to lead a massive retaliation.
4. Negotiation and Sanctions, living with the best arrangement we can get: Not what we want, but probably the most humane.

I suggest a pot luck supper every week.
Ask him to begin tourism efforts.
Invite him here to spend time and visit.
Treat him as an honored guest.

Some people are simple minded and just want attention.
Not feeling respected, he is building his own version of respect.

I couldn't vote, because there was no option for the only sensible solution: leave the poor nation alone. DPR of Korea has been under war, economic siege and informational demonization for 67 years. It's a good, powerful and united nation that withstood hardships of the outside aggression like no other country on earth. They are the star of our civilization. The USA will try it's best, but it will never defeat DPRK, because David of DPRK is much smarter and able than Goliath of USA.

I think we should ONLY nuke North Korea if they launch a nuclear weapon first. I think the best plan is to wait for North Korean government to collapse and let it reunite with South Korea.

There isn't a perfect solution, but not angering North Korea is the best one, I think.

North Korea is already living in the stone age.

Korea will not re-unify unless it is under a communist government. China won't allow it, and shouldn't IMHO.

Forget the media. Just listen to the words of Trump and his appointees.

Problem is any action taking at all outside of sanctions will result in them firing missiles at countries. Killing him means his generals shoot us. Nuking him means he may have time to nuke others. A surgical strike is probably the best bet since we can take out the missile sites we know of in the moutains, but it means there may be sites we don't know about that can launch missiles right away. For now all we can really do is have sanctions.

Some people say nukes and missiles are terrible because innocent people will die and starve to death too. I mean I get it but people are already starving to death there and being killed on a regular basis. Some times you have to kill many to save WAY more. As with the bombs we dropped on japan. Killed 200k or so, but it meant we saved millions upon millions from dying in a drawn out war in their country.

Nuclear war though with NK has the side effect of radiation moving in the jetstream and affecting other countries. So that option is totally out. I say we sanctions first, then surgical strikes as the next option. After that not sure what to do. We could drop very small nukes, ones that are VERY small compared to the ones dropped on Japan. But not sure if we would do that or not.

I have heard alot of countries hating us because we shouldn't start a war with NK. But they don't seem to understand the situation. If a mad man has a fun pointed at a cop and is threatening to shoot him you best believe other cops will show up with guns drawn and likely shoot the mad man. Its exactly the situation that we are in. Kims got his targets lined up and is threatening to push the button. Heck hes already launched some "test" ones to see just how far he could push it. So of course we and other countries will respond with actions back.

No one in america wants a war, we hate being the world police. But its a situation where we don't really have a choice. South Korea, Japan and other countries have a WAY bigger chance of being blown up without our help. We have to back them up and prevent as little casualties as possible of our allies. Even CHina whos not really our friend says we need all need to take out NK.

I answered none of the above.

Trump is handling the situation correctly.

It's actually up to North Korea how it will all play out, we are not going to attack first.

DPRK also will never attack first. It's only priority is to survive. People understand nothing.
