A dangerously deranged despot

Can this dangerous and unstable dictator have some delusion that N. Korea could possibly attack anyone with nuclear weapons and survive? The only thing that would prevent turning N. Korea into a smoking glass lined hole in the ground would be the fact that S. Korea could never escape unscathed and thousands or millions of innocent people would become casualties and victims.

We have enough air, sea, and ground resources in Japan and South Korea to pretty much defeat N. Korea overnight. Any nuclear attack against those countries and those resources would result in all out destruction of North Korea. Should Russia or China enter the fray, WWIII would most likely bring the end of the world as we know it today.

Back in the 60's the CIA would have put one in Un's ear & made it look like he fell down a flight of stairs & that would have been the end of that problem.

It seems that the US has curtailed such actions to one extent or another. Sadly other countries, Russia included, have not. The world would probably benefit greatly if someone were to administer a lead injection behind one of Putin's ears.

Idk, makes no sense. How many terrorists have been taken out with drone strikes but despots like Putin & Kim Jong Un who both have killed thousands still live like kings.

Very true. I guess there is just a major difference between killing run of the mill terrorists and killing leaders of other nations that would serve the prime purpose of forcing a regime change. International law regarding such things seems a bit muddled and confusing at times.

I don't know that the current Kim is worse than his father or grandfather. We tried using our military to make a regime change in North Korea in the early 50's. That was a miserable failure.

History has proved over and over again that for the US to become involved in any regime changes has led to the loss of thousands of American lives and a protracted conflicts that last for years. My dad was a WWII veteran that was called back to active duty in 1950 to serve 2 yrs during the Korean Conflict. We have repeatedly lost lives by entering into conflicts in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. One can only hope and pray that we never have to put American boots on the ground in Ukraine.
