re: The North Korea threat has gotten worse. I am concerned that this won't end well.

The problem isn't a military one. A war with NK would be the kind of conflict we and our regional allies are built to fight. You'd have, at a minimum, the extremely capable and modern forces of the US, South Korea, and Japan allied against a military that operates almost entirely Vietnam era systems. They would die in a rapid, massive fashion.

They would die in a quick fashion, this much is true. However, it is both military and a moral question. They have possibly tens of thousands, maybe a few hundreds of thousands pieces of artillery pointed at Seoul. It would be millions dead in a matter of hours.

Then you have to convince young men and ex-military guys to fight our way to Pyongyang so that he can fricking nuke himself.

There is no solution to this conflict other than we should just pull the trigger and get this over with, in my opinion.
