Why I Don't Think We Have To Worry About Korea Post-Kim

I anticipate that we are going to MOAB the hell out of North Korea this weekend.

Our experience in warfare for the past 16 years has been that every place we attack only gets worse.

This experience is all we need to know to understand that we ought not take Assad out. But that's a topic for another post.

North Korea is not the same. The "North Koreans" are the same people who live in South Korea. They are of the same family in many cases. The South Koreans can live at peace with the world. So I think we do not have to worry about whether the North Koreans can do the same.

Now it is true that the North Koreans have been led, and enslaved by a madman many years. And this may have made them sick in the head.

But if you are wondering whether they have lost all grip on reality, I don't think we really have to worry about that too much.

I feel like SOMETHING is coming.

Not sure if it's that. Seoul is 10 miles from DMZ and 12,000,000 people. Japan is in range of nuclear strike

Whatever we do, unless BOTH those allies are committed to all out, thunder shaking, city burning war, we need to make it DECISIVE AND END IT before Kim can do a fucking thing.

And THAT is a tall military order.

How about a total embargo by China, enforced blockade by the US navy, and we shoot down every fucking missile launch
from now until Kim is gone

Kim Jong Un took his senior leadership out to dinner - that is, he made them watch his uncle and high ranking officials being placed in a cage and eaten by wild dogs which had not been fed for several days. A few weeks later, his aunt died. Poisoned, most likely.

Men like this are highly dangerous and unpredictable.

Which is why we have to kill him.

We should have done it a long time ago.
