Rocket Man will or can have his nukes and/or biological/chemical weapons already in place in the US. Helicopter radiation detectors don't work unless someone is severely stupid, it is theater to discourage uneducated radicals. So... Kill Kim and you can be sure there is a real chance of losing NYC, LA, Washington. Were the Russians Hiding a Nuke in D.C.? By Hugh Sidey Monday, Nov. 12, 2001 The missiles are theater for his people and western civilians. Even if you do strike their nuclear facilities with conventional weapons, it could irradiate the Korean peninsula, China, Japan etc. As someone tried to explain to the muppet back in 1999. Trump's response? "your giving me two names", his is stupid.
That seems to leave the only option of more talk and sanctions ? Has Kim ever said he will actually fire the missiles at the US even if unprovoked ?
Trump should make some economic/strategic concessions with the Chinese and Russians in return for the Chinese commitment to send in a team to kill the guy, and the Russians to be OK with it. The Chinese are the closest to him, have contacts in his network and are in the best position to carry it out. End of story.
He is focused on preserving his regime only and the family always has been. You can't kill him safely. Nuclear powers are different. He also has biological weapons, very different. http://uk.businessinsider.com/north-korea-biological-warfare-bioweapons-program-2017-7?r=US&IR=T http://www.express.co.uk/news/world...-biological-warfare-plague-missile-attack-usa
Just looking back to 1941 it was sanctions that drove Japan to launch a First Strike against Pearl Harbour. I doubt that there is a NK embassy in the US but it doesn't mean Kim hasn't smuggled in an atomic bomb.
There are no good options. If there were, we would have used one of them by now. China is almost totally responsible for this situation, going back to the Korean War and continuing with their support. The only feasible way of resolving it is to turn the tables on them. For a long time, China has used NK as leverage with the US. They would pretend to lean on NK if we cut them slack on trade deals or trade-related misconduct. Now that the Chinese economy is totally dependent on trade with the US, we have leverage. Obviously China does not want NK starting a nuke exchange with their best customer. So that is in our favor. Beyond that, a president with the balls to do so could force China to pull the rug out from under Rocket Man. Another option is to privately tell China that we will hold them responsible for any attack from NK and respond with a full nuke counterstrike on them as well as NK.
The US is estimated to have killed 20 million directly or through sponsoring and government prop-up since WWII. China South Korea & Japan would probably have handled the Jong Un family a long time ago had it not been for the US' hopeless geopolitics. Every new administration or change of congress things change, friends are abandoned to the wolves and the corruption continues. The USA is a bad guy, not a good guy. The thing that is certain, when the US gets involved shit gets worse. The brainwashed public who see danger where there is none and freak at spider shadows. "Corruption is our protection, corruption keeps is safe and warm, corruption is why we win." Why does the US do all this work? Because it is serving it's own interests, not altruism. https://www.wealthdaily.com/articles/oil-price-fantasy-the-true-cost-of-crude/2730
