Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader would like to note that on Monday North Korea agreed in principle to stop their nuclear weapons program. Yesterday the North Koreans said that they needed lots of concessions to stop their nuclear weapons program. And finally today we discover that the talks are really a pretext for a US invasion of North Korea.
Beautiful. Just friggin beautiful.
Carry on.
I’ll put forward that we’ve been making plans to invade North Korea ever since the Bush administration started floating the idea of withdrawing our troops from South Korea last year.
The defense of South Korea against a Northern invasion is not feasible; the only wartime mission for our forces in Korea, for all practical purposes, is — with their destruction — to trigger a U.S. re-invasion. By minimizing our forces on the ground, we are minimizing our vulnerability to counterstrike should we exercise a first-strike option.
Whether or not this is a good strategy for the U.S. to adoptis a matter of opinion and debate.
