Ongoing reports about President Trump seeking “options” for handling North Korea suggest that, with the administration having already declared diplomacy a “failure,” all options amount to some massive US escalation on the Korean Peninsula.
On Friday, reports were emerging that one of the big “options” being advanced was for the United States to start deploying nuclear weapons into South Korea, a move which would both confront North Korea, and doubtless be seen as a massive provocation by nearby China.
But there’s always an escalation beyond every escalation, and US intelligence chiefs appear to have settled heavily on one, pushing the idea that the United States should just outright assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and also kill a number of other senior leaders.
While that would undoubtedly lead to a war and massive retaliation from North Korea, some officials are also arguing that the US could follow up the mass assassination by sending special forces into North Korea to destroy the nation’s nuclear infrastructure.
Brilliant!! ……….of course if they miscalculate, say goodbye to Seoul and Tokyo.
assholes!!!!!
Hard to tell who are crazier? Their assholes or our assholes??
Ours; they are in charge; they act, everyone else reacts. Its a Karl Rove thing.
Hopefully he’s also correct in that we will be left to study what they do and not joining them in die by the sword oblivion.
Libs….uggggg
No doubt about it, it’s your assholes. The other side is only trying to protect theirs.
Isn’t it about 40 US led wars of aggression since WW2 alone? That’s a lot of victims of your assholes.
OK, so now all we gotta do is invite Putin for a summit and strike NK while he’s sitting down to… whatever dish is effing symbolically appropriate. The Chinese will be helpless, unless they want to see dere buddy get it.
Dis might require extending the full meal from seven to maybe a few dozen courses; the North Koreans are really well dug in.
Oh, and have Kushner ‘The Sassoon’ follow the first victorious wave into Pyongyang to greet the dawning light a new era of North Korean freedom.
Lately, it’s been a procession of lunacies, one piled upon the other.
The crazies have taken over the nut house.
Never mind that it’s illegal under US law- Go war freaks!
Never mind that Kim has repeatedly said that he would give up his nuclear weapons development in return for 1) a real peace treaty with the U.S., instead of an uneasy armistice and 2) a cessation of joint military drills in and near the Korean penninsula which he views as threatening.
Why aren’t those offers being taken seriously?
That’s quite reasonable, probably the most reasonable statement Kim’s ever made. It certainly would make a whole lot of sense to do just as Kim had proposed. First, sign a real peace treaty with N. Korea, instead of an uneasy armistice, and second, cessation of military drills in and near the Korean peninsula which he views as threatening.
Why aren’t those offers being taken seriously, you say? The Trotskyites run the asylum.
Ooooo, let me guess! It’s all being done by the US so it can put the heat on China to force concessions, as well as the same reason why the US was interested in Vietnam? This is a lot bigger than N.Korea Eileen and that’s true on both sides, both the US and China.
Think of N.Korea as China’s proxy state, just the same as Israel is one of the US’s proxy states. Then it all starts to make a lot of sense.
I’m predicting that neither Israel or N.Korea situations are going to change under the Trump regime, without a hot war between major nuclear powers. Just can’t happen!
Decapitation strikes failed in Iraq. They failed in Libya. They’ve never worked anywhere. We could not even kill Castro, 90 miles from the US after trying for decades.
This is something that the American people would get in line with easily and very quickly. The demonization of Kim is all firmly in place.
And it could very well be the cause fora N.Korean action against S.Korea, and hence likely a nuclear war against China and Russia.
Goodbye cruel world…
Don’t blame North Korea if they put a price tag on US President’s head. They could easily offer USD 1 billion on Trump’s head. Lots of terrorist organizations will work towards it. Secret Service won’t be able to cope.
True
Chemical war is red line,
How about this contemplating assassinate foreign dictator is not red line?
