Uh Huh - just like Monica's boyfriend did. The world and previous U.S. administrations both Democratic and Republican have enabled the porcine one and his Father to develop a Nuclear capability. Currently, the porcine has his Nuclear Infrastructure in hardened underground bunkers that are , for the most part, almost impervious from any conventional military munitions. In every previous case the world assumed that they were dealing with a rational regime that would trade nuclear capability for entry into the mainstream of nations. Unfortunately TIME AND TIME AGAIN North Korea proved that assumption was wrong. Accordingly, the previous strategy of benign neglect has brought the region to the brink of armed conflict and the world is left with few options in order to bring us back from the brink.

Let's pause and give thanks to those idiots who made this possible including President Clinton. And to those other idiots that have enabled the next generation of maniacs to be nuclear-armed. Hopefully, the Russians and Chinese now see that it's time to shove North Korea out from under their protection and allow US to deal with it properly (and that we have the guts to do it properly)

We need all the help we can get. Not many scenarios work out well for us. Do nothing and we're eventually attacked. First strike and we kill who knows how many and face the wrath of the World. This can has been kicked down the road for over 60 years. Everybody just trying to make sure it doesn't happen on their watch. It would seem that the best offense is a good defense for now. Refine our anti-missile systems and start using them. If it works that opens the door for more aggressive strategies and might foster more support from others. NK will likely get creative and shift to alternative delivery methods. Suitcase nukes, dirty bombs, arty and/or air strikes. We reach a point where outright attack is warranted and are approaching it now. That spells a shift to best defense being an overwhelming offense, no matter the cost.
