If Britain and France had simply invaded Germany from the west while the Germans were invading Poland in 1939, the Nazis would have been forced to capitulate because the majority of their forces had already been committed to the invasion of Poland.
also leads to war, perhaps more quickly. If Neville Chamberlain had
declared war on Nazi Germany instead of declaring "peace in our time,"
then WW II would simply have occurred sooner.
There's a halfway measure - sanctions.
If you fear North Korean capabilities, and especially if one regards North Korea as simply a vanguard for Russia and China, then attacking North Korea solves the problem by reestablishing global memory of US capabilities and force potential. The defeat of north korea will also deter both Russia and China by the fact that North Korea technically already is a nuclear power and its defeat would reestablish deterrence from both Russia and China.
Sanctions is just more status quo globalist nonsense. That is the policy we have been doing, given its poor results so far why would we even consider continuing this policy? That is also the policy favored by the globalists in the US government. We Just had an election in which globalism was a main issue in the election; the globalist candidate lost the election remember. So we would not continue Clintonist military and diplomatic doctrines.
