Hothabanero: During the Cuban missive crisis, the news and all the propaganda made out Kennedy and the US to be so mighty by not allowing FC to have missiles. But secretly-or not so public-the US had to vow to the USSR never to invade Cuba and to downsize or remove (don't remember which) missiles in Turkey. But in the media, Russia was made to seem they backed away. - Some mightiness abandoning then Cubans and also weakening US position in Turke!

hothabanero, as Cofty seems to imply, the only way to stop NK is to push them past the 38th.
Let me put it to you this way. Try "not allowing"China from having nuclear missiles or anyone else that already has them --like NK for instance.

I have said it before and I will say it again: North Korea should not be allowed to get nuclear missiles.
Neither should Russia nor China, nor Pakistan, nor any of US enemies, nor anybody else but only the United States of America.

You can only push NK so far before China gets involved.

cyber sabotage those missiles and installation.
So, they will build another one improved.
now they are really dangerous.
People with loaded guns are always dangerous.
And now that NK has nukes, they are not going to be pushed around by the US into submission.

I am sure that the US has ways of punishing NK but that will only get NK more angry. NK will never throw their toys in the garbage . At most NK will agree not to send missiles to Guam or to the US if the US compromises with them. So there is nothing that the US can do to stop NK besides NuKe or compromise. The US will be forced to compromise or they will have to wait till rockets fly over DC before they act militarily.

Everything is possible but I don't think that there will be war with NK. Economic sanctions do not work. Only option at this point in time for US is to compromise with NK or take out their leader.

"...NK would probably cave in within a month."
Could not have said it better myself. China could do that but it seems to me that for some reason it is to China's advantage not to foot and also for China's advantage for NK to continue to put pressure on the US. Without China, NK collapses. And should KJU regime collapse and he needs to run for his life, he is guaranteed sanctuary and safety in China.

You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Watson used it -not me. I figured he meant "looney"by the context of his statement. Perhaps I am wrong. What do you think he meant?
