N Korea and its dictator can send missiles to S Korea and Japan and kill millions if we slap them down. If we try to take out all their missiles, they have hid them well in many locations so this may not be possible.
Mike Morell recommends just making sure to deter them with our threat to obliterate them if they use any nucs.
We need to test our ABM systems - THAAD and the Aegis cruisers - on their missile tests first. One test may already have happened.
I agree; but we can't depend on them to stop every missile. So I say, provoking the Dear Leader is not a good option.
I hate North Korea and its Dear Leader. But we have to let his corrupt and decrepid state fall of its own weight, as the Soviets did, and meanwhile deter him from launching anything at us or our allies.
We let this nuc state "get away." But we can't let any more get away. That's why the Iran nuclear deal was good and necessary.
