I understand this. I am just deomnstrating to wasted America, however, that it is, in fact, not the fault of the US that the Korean War began. America did, as i stated before, put itself at a disadvantage to AVOID that war. However, the NK's took advantage of that situation and invaded.
Also, I do believe that we should try to resolve the situation with NK diplomatically. However, there is a limit to how much rope we should let out for NK, considering how much we ALREADY do for it, while it still threatens the west with nuclear devastation.
Also, my tactical scenario only applies to a situation in which we are sure of the locations of their nuclear weapons, and their ability to use them. I would not condone jumping in all willy-nilly and bombing based on shoddy intelligence. As you said, nuclear politics are a serious matter. I would much rather have NK defanged, then starting another Cold War with the NK's and all those they see fit to hand their weapons out to.
