re: time to step back from Korea and Japan

quote:

You wouldn't last a day calling for a boycott of trade with China. You think you are going to force China to war with North Korea by denying Americans all the hundreds of thousands of items we import from China???

China could cripple NK in a matter of weeks without ever firing a shot. NK can believe what they will about the US, but if they know anything at all, they know they want no part of China.

We can cripple China without firing a shot. As with the ME, it is US money that provides their status on the world stage. They won't sacrifice that for a little puppet nation they've propped up to do their bidding.

We should just leave instead of fighting with China over North Korea.

If I'm your crazy neighbor, who doesn't have a pot to piss in, but insists on fighting and threatening you and the other neighbors, what do you do when you find out I have an arsenal of weapons capable of killing all of you? Walk away, and say oh well? Remember, you can't move. You're family will always be under threat from me.

quote:

---

If the North Koreans ever attempt to attack the USA we should destroy the country.

I guess you think you can get toothpaste back in the tube, too. What about those who were just incinerated by the nuclear device or two we couldn't intercept? frick em?

Sounds to me like you want a war somewhere in Asia--either with China or North Korea.

Take up you gun son.

Sounds to me like you want to create a straw man rather than deal with the realities of the situation. I don't want war, and have stated that more than once. I want the threat of nuclear attack on the US by NK removed. By whatever means necessary. And I'm willing to go to drastic measures.

As for your take up your gun statement, that has to be the biggest chickenshit thing to say, which is just the cherry on top of a completely chickenshit position.

I have sons, 18 and 20 years old. I have protected them by whatever means necessary since the day they were born, and will continue to do so. Threats against my country and countrymen are no less unacceptable than threats to my family. You don't have to tell me to pick up a gun if that's the situation. I'm more than willing to kill to protect the things I love. How about you?
