Right now, he probably can't hit us. He can likely hit South Korea and Japan. So, if we go now, it's only(insert racial slurs here)Asians that get clobbered, rather than Americans.
You've been following Kinser's theory on tribes? If members of your tribe are OK, what happens to other tribes doesn't matter? More truth to that than I'd like, especially for those with red values. America First, Huzzah!
Right now, Aegis ships and THAAD can still make intercepts. If we wait for North Korea to develop more sophisticated nuclear weapons, South Korea will eventually lose millions of people instead of thousands.
But hey, given Kinser's theory, I can see why white people who talk about "only Asians that get clobbered" might not care about that.
Do you think North Korea and its Dear Leader would launch a nuclear attack against the South, even after what it considers a provocation, knowing that it would mean the certain end to his government and his life?
We should certainly make crystal clear to them that this would be the price.
1. Right now, Aegis... + North Korea and its Dear Leader.... - In a 4th turning tribalism reaches its zenith which means that [some foreign power does something provocative ] results in maximum smack down. Here, I'd agree with Kinser's assessment. IOW, bombs away.
2. I assure you that crystal clear signals will be sent. IOW, North Korea will be assured that assorted areas will become ashtrays. IMHO, N korea ain't worth it, but the pissy mood assures that the afterglow shall happen.
3. It is for that reason, also, that Assad is facing that self same reaction. The enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that rot.
