Why aren’t we treating North Korea like we are Iran?

North Korea doesn't fund terrorist organizations that go on to kill our citizens and our allies' citizens.

There is zero chance the population would rise up and revolt against their government since the North Koreans are brainwashed. The North Korean government is also more bat shite crazy and wouldn’t hesitate to immediately launch nukes.

So this whole thing is because of Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis?

Weird perspective I hadn’t heard that one yet.

And cyber attacked us multiple times.

Captured our naval vessels.

Killed our soldiers (after the Korean War).

Even fought us in a conventional war.

Usually it's because they need money. Once we give them shite through back channels, they shut up.

It’s more that when they get too obnoxious, China tell them to STFU.

shite, but for your use of “captured” instead of “intentionally attacked with missiles and aircraft” I thought you were describing Israel.

They dont have oil.

They arent next to a straight that impacts global economies.

They share a border with China.

They already have the weapons ( thanks Obama) and could at a minimum use them on SK.

SK is too strategic of an ally to risk.

Umm I don't think that's true. NK hates their neighbors more than US and why they are like they are.

Im not saying they don't hate us, but the Japanese occupation led to this.


I would also check the immigration numbers compared to NK and Iran. One is invading us and the other isn't.

Yeah, but I bet if we installed a different leader there also would not be a lot of pushback.

And we moved our THAAD batteries out of SK to redeploy them to the ME.

North Korea has a dictator that just wants some respect on the global stage. Wants his ego stoked a bit.

He otherwise isnt dangerous.

Piece of shite to his people but we cant fix everything
