It's not a question of if he is strong enough. The answer to that is No. Trump is a bully... and when it comes down to it... bully's are weak.
The real question is what incentive would the US have to striking NK? They have had a long history of genocide and oppression yet we do nothing. And this just isn't Trump... All the previous presidents did the same thing... A Big FAT NOTHING. George "W" said there were WMD's in IRAQ and thats why we had to go in... How did that work out? hmmmmm. Now Young Gun IL.. (That's right... I said Young Gun... sounds good dont it... LoL...) is not only saying they have WMDs... He is testing them... So did his Daddy!!! Did Daddy Bush go in? Nope... Clinton? Nope... "W"??? Nope.. Did Obama? No... Will Trump... No... why??? We should be locked & loaded and taking this guy down by any means necessary!!! People are saying it's because of China... China just placed an Oil embargo on them... so I don't think they are on NK side.
I've worked with people from SK that say they only get to see their family in NK twice a year for a few hours at the time... If anyone needed to be taken out... it's this guy... But herein lies the rub.... What do we get by invading NK? Nothing... and don't forget... we have to pay to rebuild them back up after we are done. Now if they had Oil we access while we are doing that... that's a good reason... I know we say we go in to remove a tyrant... but why do we really go in to a country for?
Think about the most recent "wars" we've fought...
Vietnam - Reason for going... Fight the Communists oppressors!!!!
- fun fact.... They have the 2nd largest Crude Oil reserves in East Aisa behind China... about 4.5 billion barrels.
Gulf War(Saudi Arabia/Kuwait) - Reason for going... The Iraqi's are coming... The Iraqis are coming!!!
- fun fact... Again... Some of the biggest Oil reserves in the world... 268 billion barrels.
Iraq Reason for going - credible intel that they had WMD's
- fun fact.. More and More Oil... 144 billion barrels...
are we starting to see a theme here? okay..
NK has a Tyrant Dictator that killed his own brother.
The Countries people are oppressed.
The leader boasts about their Nuclear Weapon capabilities (WMDs)
but yet we dont go into NK...
fun fact... NK "imports" most of their Oil...
Why does the Oil matter? Well.. somebody has got to pay for the war and the rebuild... Where do you think that money comes from.... hmmm
But the only thing we will get from War against NK is good PR... and all Good PR and $2 can buy you is a good double cheeseburger at Wendy's.
So when it comes to politics... it's never personal... It's "ALWAYS" about the money... So follow the money... That's the only real reason any decisions are made... Don't believe the hype... and follow the money... or in this case... follow the drip... :-)
