| As you all know, America and North Korea have reached a bit of tension. Well, actually a lot of tension. Now we see N.K. threatening to nuke us while we have warships over there.
Ron Paul says that we are provoking them and that "poking them in the eye" isn't doing us any good. He says that they are of concern, however. I would say that we use diplomacy to get out of this, but right now at this point after they've threatened us it is kind of hard to decide what to do. Do we keep our warships over there and threaten them or do we act before they can?
I know an obvious answer to many of our foreign issues is non-interventionism, but this is something that we cannot pull away from and ignore. Right now, national security is at stake. Millions of American lives are at stake. We may very well be on the brink of world war three, and if WWIII breaks out then so will nuclear armament.
Do y'all believe we should pull out of N.K. and leave them alone after they've threatened us? Or should we remain and keep our military presence active until the situation cools down? |

| Tricky question. They still can't deliver nukes in the conventional way. So their "threat," at least for a few more years, is not genuine. Though they could 'possibly' deliver a few via commercial container ships entering US harbors daily. Since they won't engage in a preemptive strike, because they know they'd get annihilated wholesale, leaving them alone, might be the sanest solution.
Apart from the above, just a preemptive surgical strike on the 'fat kid' himself, could spare everyone a nuke exchange. Once he's gone, the regime collapses...
