I think we should just abandon the entire peninsula and dump the problem on to China's lap.

East Asians are plenty smart enough to figure out how to solve their own problems.

Yeah, but without this excellent distraction, how would the MIC expand their control?

Oh, and you know how ya'll are saying just neptune spear Kim Jong Un and presto it all falls to pieces?

Tell you right now, Kim Jong Un is alive and Kim Il Sung is dead, but they still run it like "Respected Generalissimo Kim Il Sung" is the state and Kim Jong Un is just like his little deputy, the cult of the personality still flows from Sung, Un is just his viceroy.

When they have all the kids in the "Children's Union" reciting the brainwashing, all day everday, it's mostly Sung related, not Un. The Kim being dead, really doesn't impede this thing at all actually.

Even if you could neptune spear Un, they'd just put three pictures up on the wall and carry on as if all three were just running things from on high in Juche heaven, the actual power behind this throne is opaque, but it doesn't actually need a Kim to be alive to invoke the Kim 24-7-3-6-5.

Kim Il Sung is like Jesus in the Bible Belt, he's everywhere, he's the main event, Kim Il Sung this and Kim Il Sung that, in comparison Un gets very little play, and these days Kim Jong Il barely gets mentioned at all.

This regime is not a fat kid with a funny haircut, that's just a front, but they would carry on with Kim Il Sung as a cardboard cutout regardless even if Un was reduced to the third picture on the wall. Frankly I think they'd prefer it that way, which is why Un is looking over his shoulder at all times.

For a brief moment the Bolsheviks may have been scared that Comrade Lenin going down was gonna be a big problem, but after they pumped some formaldehyde into him and propped him up in a tomb, they were like "no, wait, you know what? This is even better..." The zombie continues to speak through the loudspeakers, and you can make him say anything you need him to.

Let them live in a real life 1984 with pretty much only the ICBMs they eventually acquire for comfort.

How is that America's problem? What's the worst that North Korea is gonna do, saber rattle a little louder?
Are they going to go full retard and nuke America on a whim? Not really buying that.

What's the worst? The worst is that North Korea launches on the CONUS, which can happen a variety of ways, one particular way it could happen, is that the North Koreans launch on false warning, it's not like they have a comprehensive and reliable early warning system for those ICBM's and their level of paranoia is extreme to say the least.

They same could be said of any nuclear power with ICBMs though. Why is North Korea so scary? Not seeing it.

Well, that's certainly the Americans problem too, but you asked what the worse case scenario was and I told you.

That's not worth bombing them pre-emptively over, not in my mind. They might get a false warning and launch on us, sorry that doesn't cross the threshold of need to go to war to prevent that asap, that seems quite extreme.

I didn't say it was America's problem to bomb them preemptively, I said if it was up to me I would bomb them preemptively.

You have not provided a good enough reason to do it though. So the decision you would make seems irrational. You said yourself your plan is probably just burning the village in order to save it, so how is that worth the price? What would America get out of it, that makes you think it's a good idea to do it, if you were in their shoes?

All I'm seeing is downside here, and little, if any upside, even for America. Sounds like a pretty terrible idea, so why that recommendation?
