Can't we just shoot the bastard now?

Post by Will Robinson »

The US is going to spend a billion dollars on preparing for the attack from the freshman dictator who inherited a new shiny toy....a big Army, Navy and Air Force. I think there is no way this sprout of a bully can resist the temptation to use it.

I think we need to take a fresh approach. A half of a billion dollar bounty for his head removed from his body.
Just use their military frequencies to broadcast the offer to their troops and let the games begin. May the odds be forever in his favor.

Even if you take his head, it isn't like the next guy will be any better.

I think in this case it probably does mean that. At least with the same if not better probability that we can shoot down their rockets aimed at us and prevent S. Korea from becoming a former country full of relatively happy citizens in the wake of a bombardment of epic proportions.

One, it wont be some young gun thrust into a position above more deserving and qualified men who seems to think he has to prove his mettle.
And two, if someone takes the spot because the U.S. effectively caused the death of his predecessor for being too dangerous that will weigh on his decision making.

I'm mostly ranting here not claiming to have the best solution but for my tax dollars it is a better buy. The wait and see approach, in this case, I believe is going to cost many, many, lives because I don't think the little putz can keep his winky in his pants.

I’m pretty sure we used to knock off petty dictators like him in the past, but I do believe Congress in all of its wisdom, put a stop to it.

As I understand it, killing people with drones is legal, so lets just do him in with a predator.

One has to wonder if China is pulling the strings sometimes. They're raising cane over some small Japanese rocks near Taiwan. What's wrong with more belligerence from their tiny tin pot ally?

Hell, China is already in a full fledged cyber war with us, dominates us economically and owns most of our debt, so why not let their little bully nutcase neighbor also rile the U.S. bear. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander............... :wink:
