North Korea 1, USA 0

WHO'S THE BOSS?

Yesterday, the North Korean's decided to defy the United States, and the world I guess, by test launching a bunch of missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, and one that could potentially hit the continental US. Oh by the way, they conveniently picked the 4th of July to do their little test. The president and the UN were extremely quick to react to this news by immediately issuing statements condeming the tests and blah blah blah. What everyone failed to do was come up with a plan to either punish the North Korean's or send them a strong warning not to do something like this again. I dont know how many times we can make these pointless and worthless threats while expecting psycho leaders, like those in North Korea, to take us seriously.

Let me first say that I believe most are overreacting about his news. I do not think that the Korean's have capabilities to hit the United States from thousands of miles away. With that said, if I lived in South Korea or Japan, Id probabaly be much more concerned. Furthermore, I do not believe even Lil' Kim has the balls to use a nuclear weapon against an ally of the United States of America. At most, the guy might have 5-10 nukes, compared to our 1,300+. Suffice it to say, in the event of a nuclear conflict, I dont like his chances.

Now, here is what I think we should do since the North Korean's made the first move. We cannot sanction these people anymore. I know that the UN loves sanctions because it gets them off the hook without having ever do anything tough, but this situation is beyond that. The North Korean people have already suffered greatly under the current regime, basically they cannot get any poorer. Knowing that, we must be willing to use our muscle rather than our mouths. If I was the president, unbenounced to anyone, I would get about two dozen F-16's together, in attack formation, and let them breeze by Pyongyang at a slow rate of speed. Let the moronic leaders over there see for themselves that they can be annihilated in a matter of seconds with simple conventional weapondry. And, if they decide to try and shoot one of our planes down, give the pilots the green light to destroy any hostile air defense systems they might utilize. In other words, let them shoot first. We are the the United States of America for crying out loud and we should be allowed to intimidate these jerks if we want to. As I said, this should be a covert operation, but if the news does come out, you can bet that the rest of the world would complain about how we are the bullies in the world. But then Id say to them, would you prefer, a strong United States who bullied a country into submission, or a potential nuclear war? Sounds simple you might say, but common sense seems to be a thing of the past in the rhelm of international relations.
