THE CASE FOR A PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE AGAINST NORTH KOREA

The case for a preemptive strike against North Korea.

Like most of you, I hate War. I can’t even watch those commercials about wounded warriors…they break my back. I think all the Wars we have entered since WWII have been either highly questionable or completely wrong. Still, there are times when you have to look at the biggest picture possible and contemplate the unthinkable. I said contemplate….

A preemptive strike against N. Korea would seem to be something that should be discussed, and here is why: North Korea has a completely insane leader in Kim Jong-Un…he is the Donald Trump of North Korea. He is like a child in charge of the nitroglycerine supply. If that weren’t enough, Jong-Un is very provocative, and threatening, and looking to be more menacing. He has “small dog complex”. Just yesterday he bombastically tested a form of Atomic bomb…we don’t know exactly what he tested but we know that Korea claimed it was a Hydrogen bomb. Our science experts seriously question that Korea has attained a Hydrogen bomb based on the forensic information gathered after the “test”. Still, it is bone clanking to think about it.

“Un” is also a terrible dictator but that is barely worthy of a footnote. . That is insignificant compared to the possibility and ongoing efforts of North Korea to build a hydrogen bomb. Let me rephrase that…in the absence of someone actively stopping them, North Korea will have their own Hydrogen bomb. It is only a matter of time. How much time do we have?

Allowing an insane dictator from a small country to wield that much leverage…is completely unacceptable. A Hydrogen bomb is at least 1,000 times as destructive as the bombs we dropped that flattened Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The last time a hydrogen bomb was detonated was in Siberia in October of 1961. It’s impact was otherwordly. And, that was over 50 years ago. Imagine what a Hydrogen bomb dropped on Seoul or Tokyo would do. North Korea could hold up any liquor store on the Asian continent with that kind of leverage.

How these dictatorships are able to hold an entire country at their mercy is beyond comprehension to me. How can one man suppress the will of 25 million people. Where is a coup when you need one?

I would consider finding a way to let the North Korean people know that if they don’t overthrow their own insane government, that we were going to do it for them…and many, many, lives would be lost. This is tragic…beyond, but the ends just might justify these horrific means….

What would the North Koreans do…? Would they storm the Castle….and take matters into their own hands..? Would they turn over the bomb to the Western World, or to China?

I don’t know but a Hydrogen bomb armed North Korea is not something that the World can live with..or can it?
