Less Talk, More Action - Send North Korea a Message
It all depends on what Kim Jong Il decides to do. This could be the fuse of the next World War.
South Koreans are not sounding happy at all about the lack-luster response to the artillery attack. There are tactical nuke cannons in S Korea, yield of 1 to 3 megatons, range 25 to 30 miles.
It does not appear that China has any significant control over Kim Jong Il, and China has a whole lot to lose if the transfer of power to Kim's youngest son, who is young and inept, is rejected by N Koreans.
When the match to light the fuse is controlled by a lunatic, no telling what might happen, along with the fact that Obama is a failed president, laughing stock of leaders of all other nations.
When a small nation's economy fails, the typical result is a small war. War, real war, causes much suffering of the civilian populations of the nations involved, takes their minds away from smaller matters, such as wide-spread poverty.
I was a very cognizant young lad when the news about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor occurred.
Mind, I am as far away from being a peace-at-any-price nitwit as can be. The price of remaining free is always dear at times.
Sadly, that's about ALL that we'll ever see from the debacle called Obama...
ReplyDeleteTalk, talk, talk, talk, talk and MORE talk...
Followed by an apology...
He is pathetic.
