U.S. Government Must Not Back Down from North Korea: They’ll Run Roughshod Over the Entire Region if U.S. and South Korea Don’t Powerslam North Korea

North Korea needs to be put into its place as soon as possible.  And after they pull the trigger first.

Its leadership is too immature to possess the kind of firepower that it does have, at the costly expense of ignoring the plight of its own people.  No responsible government would allow over a million of its own people starve to death, while arming its military to the teeth. 

Why does North Korea need the fifth-largest army in the world when its people are starving to death?  They rank just behind Russia in active duty personnel, and first in the world in reserves with 4.7 million people under arms.  And they’ve engaged in a massive arms build-up in the last ten years.

The U.S. government needs to help South Korea deal with the North Korean problem permanently.    The Obama Administration cannot back down from North Korea, under ANY circumstances.   Give them an inch, and they’ll take the entire field.

The South Korean public is really upset over their government’s lackluster response to North Korea’s aggression.  Demonstrations are really heating up in Seoul.

The U.S./South Korean war games need to proceed as planned.  And if North Korea is crazy enough to take a shot at a U.S. Navy carrier, the Navy had better blow everything with a red star out of the water, and out of the air in reply.

There’s little chance of North Korean citizens rising up against Kim Jong Il; they worship him like a god.   I don’t think the North Korean military will rise up either, until Kim Jung Il dies and his son tries to take over.  

But then, would dealing with North Korea’s generals be any better than dealing with Kim Jung Il, or his hand-picked brat?   Is there anyone with any amount of sanity in North Korea’s military?
