Can We Trust a Nuclear-Armed North Korea That Can Strike the United States to Behave Itself, or Are We Going to Need to Make a Pre-Emptive Strike to Stop North Korea?

Overwhelming international sanctions and pressure on North Korea have failed to slow down or stop the continued nuclear weapons advancement in the Hermit Kingdom, and we’re going to need to face the music soon.

Can we ever trust North Korea, which behaves like a petulant child being told “no, you can’t have that” to start behaving like a nation run by grown-ups?  With Kim Jong Un in charge over there, the answer is a resounding “NO!”  

We can’t trust anyone in North Korea to run it responsibly until the entire country has been de-programmed, disarmed and de-Kim Jong Un’ed.   It’s going to cost a lot of lives and the body count will be driven upwards the longer action is delayed.  

North Korea’s generals could negate a lot of this but they’re being executed at the slightest provocation to Kim Jong Un’s fear of losing his power, or getting a bullet in his head.

No one wants a war, but North Korea may force it and drag in all of its neighbors.   The situation is looking more and more bleak the longer it drags on.
