Beating the War Drum

He said: "The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea."

So plainly, the President simply said he would defend America and its allies. The nature of threat requiring its total destruction. Frankly, that's what I want my President to tell somebody who's openly threatening to kill millions of people in America and neighboring countries.

Are you accusing him of LYING?

He'd never do that. You should be ashamed.
 
North Korea and Iran: The nuclear result of strategic patience

So how about some current events? Too difficult for you to face?

Obama's legacy...
It is worth reminding ourselves that Wendy Sherman was one of the architects of both the North Korean and the Iranian nuclear deals. The North Korean deal was used as the US template for the negotiations with Tehran over their advanced nuclear program. Both were based on the fallacy of a strategic patience policy of “let’s go easy on them and see what happened in ten years’ time.”

How did the US Intelligence and the Obama Administration allow this dramatic national security failure to occur? This should be required study for leading Strategic and National Security think tanks. The strategic patience policy is a frightening failure. It is nothing more than politically kicking the can down the road to be picked up by a future Administration when it is about to explode in a mushroom cloud.

America is in crisis mode right now. They are scrambling to come up with a solution to the North Korean nuclear threat, but there appears to be no good solution in sight, particularly when you are dealing with unpredictable rogue regimes. Conflict seems inevitable.

This is the consequence of kicking that can down the road. Tomorrow, they will wake up to the same crisis when Iran takes the wraps off their project and are ready for a nuclear breakout.

Out of curiosity, if this is true, then why is it only one countries responsibility to deal with it?

Who draws the ire, and why?


It's akin to the talking to a crazy person on the street. Those who choose to engage the crazy person, will potentially get into a fight with the crazy person. Those who choose to mind their own business and go on about their day, don't attract the attention and anger of the crazy person.

It's pretty simple stuff. Even you can understand it.

Really?

I have a bunch of friends over by Curie and Kelly High schools, on Archer, and I've been over there hundreds of times... alone. So you're full of shit about "a white man walking alone in the southwest Chicago has a snowball's chance in Hell of living to see the sunrise".

Maybe you should try leaving your bubble once in a while, and seeing what the world has to offer, instead of listening to the alt-right media and allowing them to create your worldview.

Out of curiosity...

Is that "crazy person" located in Archer Heights or Brighton Park?
 
WHY is Kim launching real bombs?

Because the US completely destroyed his country sixty years ago, killing 30% of its population, continues to threaten it every year without fail, conducts economic warfare against it, and treats Kim to the same propaganda program that was used in the run up to attacking Iraq and Libya, to name the most prominent recent examples. Possibly he feels that a credible deterrent is the only possible way to avoid war with the US.
 
My comment had nothing to do with North Korea and everything to do with his admission he's from Chicago.

Your comment reminded me of his daily confirmation of my suspicions, that like most of those on the left, he defends the enemy. So thanks for that.:D
 
We are technically still at war with the North Koreans. It makes no difference, our policy is, they don't get to have nuclear weapons and threaten the world.

I'm glad that you just read something that told you that there's still technically a war. The rest of that already knew that, sparky.

They feel threatened by unilateral US aggression in the area. Their nuclear program is self-defense. If it wasn't for the US, they wouldn't have developed nukes at all.

You don't get to poke someone over and over and over and over and not face repercussions. The repercussions from US actions on the Korean peninsula go back 70 years.

The US is fine with oppressive regimes (Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey, Myanmar, the PDRC, etc etc...)

What the US needs to stop doing, is trying to nation-build. It's why the Dutch and the English are in decline. Learn from the mistakes of the past, rather than repeating them. We should have heeded the lashing the soviets got in Afghanistan, but instead, we go our own, and we're choosing to extend it.

It's short-sighted, and foolish, and will lead to a lot more deficit spending, and at the cost of our own populace.

You may think that's all ok.

I don't.
