Like I said, every civilized nation understands the difference between collateral damage when you're taking out a high-profile target...and deliberate terrorism/crimes. If you don't want to understand that difference, that's on you.

Collateral damage is a euphemism. It's not collateral damage, it's a war crime and it flouts international law. It would be easier for us to be able to enforce a set of standards on the world if people like you didn't justify going into the countries of others and killing their kids as acceptable collateral damage.

Imagine if Iran flew to your neighborhood with a drone to target someone it thought MIGHT harm them someday and blew up your kids. Would you shrug and go "oopsie daisy collateral damage!"


Accidentally killing a child because they were caught in the blast radius when we take out an ISIS leader is not a war crime. It's an accident. What is called collateral damage.

Honestly, just nuke them. The stakes are way too high. Just fucking do it. China will be pissed as all fuck, but at least we won't all be dead.


I'd rather it doesn't get that far. I think America and China could topple the current regime within a couple of hours if they really wanted to.

North Korea does not care about self preservation.

I contend that they do. If they are as unhinged as you believe them to be, what explains their unwillingness to attack SK over the past six decades?

No, it does not suggest that at all. And I don't think any of the surrounding nations want to risk finding out once North Korea has long range capabilities.

But that's the thing, once you start basing wars on what MIGHT happen and not legitimate self-defense then you quickly become a sort of Hitler. I mean you're just participating in naked aggression based on attacks that never happened.

QuantumScript posted...

I didn't say that they can beat America. They can't beat anyone. But with 1 long-range nuclear weapon being produced every 6 weeks once they have the capability...they can destabilize the entire planet. North Korea does not care about self preservation. The way they treat their own people and the way they antagonize other countries is evidence of that.

Dude again, they are not a suicidal country. They are interested in maintaining their elite over their people, but they aren't going to willingly attack America and kill themselves. There is no rational basis to assume that they would do that

When some nations ramp up their activity and their rhetoric, that doesn't mean you wait for it to be too late. That means you do what it takes to eliminate the threat before it becomes unmanageable.

Then why have they attempted to aggravate the biggest players for years on end? Why are they promising and threatening nuclear warfare? Their propaganda machine is nightmarish, and it's extremely dangerous and foolish to wait and see what happens. I mean, they'll have long range nuclear weapons. What are you going to do about their saber rattling when they can destroy major cities around the world?

Anyone who hasn't lived under a rock knows that there have been incidents between the north and the south even in the last decade. Not all out war, but they're still at war with one another and there's definitely no peace. To live in some kind of delusional fantasy world where North Korea is simply looking out for its own...is at best laughably naive and at worst evil and dangerous.

A nation with a track record for blatant disregard for its own people and its own future having the capacity to destroy entire cities. What could go wrong.

The reason it's an accident when we do it is because when someone dies as a result of being caught in a blast targeting a high profile ISIS leader, it's not intentional and not the same as flying a plane into a building or gassing children. This is a very simple concept to grasp.

Get the United Nations and the EU involved. There are plenty of individuals who can contribute. Get South Korea involved. What makes this different than other similar situations is that the people of North Korea don't want that regime. They just don't have a choice. Go read about North Korea, it's a hell hole.

No. That's not at all what that means. You're only allowed to attack on the basis of self-defense and not because someone looked at you funny. Nations do not operate on the laws of paranoid schizophrenia.

"Attempted." Again you keep using the language of tried, not actually succeeded in doing. The reason why is they don't actually intend on launching a pre-emptive strike on America. That is your projection of what you want to do to North Korea. Have fun with the millions of "collateral damages"

A stable, open, and free regime in a former totalitarian dictatorship?

Something like that could take decades, generations. Pretty much us devoting trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands/millions of troops.

Not to mention any sort of conflict is going to horribly affect SK either through the bombing that NK unleashes on it, or the economic meltdown that would occur

That's not how the world works. When a nation is ramping up its propaganda and racing towards militarization and developing long-range nuclear weapons, you don't wait for them to launch a nuke before you cripple their nuclear production.

How do you know that North Korea doesn't want to do it? They outright threatened multiple nations and have exerted themselves more and more the closer they get to their goal. Their behavior indicates that they'll continue to ramp up their current trend once they can back up their threats against long-range targets.

Because they have a chip on their shoulder? Because they're led by a madman who wants to dominate as a means of compensation for perceived offenses? Because their behavior thus far has been irrational in every way? Your attempted justification is so weak. You're literally saying "let them have long range nukes, why would they use them?"

Do nothing:
- Things likely continue as before
- small chance of a catastrophic attack

Intervene
- Chaos in the region for years at a minimum, putting millions of South Koreans at immediate risk of retaliation

What this argument comes down to is just how small you think the chances of NK nuking a major city is. I don't think they're large enough to justify intervention by force.

If my justification is weak, then yours must by as strong as a baby kitten.

You're saying that upon receiving long range capabilities, the NK government will reverse its previous 70 years of policy and start lobbing nukes at will because they feel slighted?

You fucking serious?

That's not the same at all. There's no indication that Germany or Russia or anyone else "might" attack us. Whereas North Korea has outright declared war on other nations. Do you want to wait until they have long-range nuclear weapons to see if they mean it? You're really dishonest.

Why did you quote only a part of my sentence rather than the entire block? You're responding to that piece, saying that the burden of proof is on me. Even though the sentences immediately after the one you quoted are providing proof. You're dishonest.

I'm going to leave you with this post. Don't expect another response from me, because you've wasted my time and don't deserve another one. It seems like you're either an Antifar alt or as dishonest as him. You both do that thing where you quote a single sentence out of someone's response and then argue against it in isolation, completely and willfully ignoring what people actually said.

Why did you quote only a part of my sentence rather than the entire block? You're responding to that piece, saying that the burden of proof is on me. Even though the sentences immediately after the one you quoted are providing proof. You're dishonest.

I'm going to leave you with this post. Don't expect another response from me, because you've wasted my time and don't deserve another one. It seems like you're either an Antifar alt or as dishonest as him. You both do that thing where you quote a single sentence out of someone's response and then argue against it in isolation, completely and willfully ignoring what people actually said.

Your username is extremely appropriate.

"Outright declared war on other nations" they have only fired missiles into water so far because they know the second they actually try to attack another country, their asses would be toast.

Do nothing:
- Things likely continue as before
- small chance of a catastrophic attack

Intervene
- Chaos in the region for years at a minimum, putting millions of South Koreans at immediate risk of retaliation

What this argument comes down to is just how small you think the chances of NK nuking a major city is. I don't think they're large enough to justify intervention by force.


What you think doesn't matter. Russia, China, and America are all taking it seriously enough to show that it's more than just a small chance of a catastrophic attack. If it was actually a small chance, no one would care what they're doing. But their track record is awful, and they're certainly not a humanitarian nation by any means.

For your sake, I hope they never launch a nuclear weapon. Because if they do, the world will have high expectations from people like you.

But again if you're going to be a warmonger on the basis of who MIGHT attack then there's literally no end to it. Germany MIGHT attack us. Hell, Russia MIGHT attack us. That's actually not how sound foreign policy works.


That's not the same at all. There's no indication that Germany or Russia or anyone else "might" attack us. Whereas North Korea has outright declared war on other nations. Do you want to wait until they have long-range nuclear weapons to see if they mean it? You're really dishonest.

They don't currently have the capability to launch ballistic missiles. That doesn't change their threats and their declarations, and they're getting closer to being able to launch ballistic missiles.

But China will never allow a pro US united Korea.

So you're ignoring him because you don't like what he's saying or how he's arguing with you? Jeez talk about safe spaces, huh?

Oh but what you think does? Let me ask you, TC. What makes what you think so much more valid and better than whatever anyone else is saying?

North Korea are like the school jock who thinks they are so tough and cool and can beat up all the nerds, but the second one of them fights back, he gets his ass handed to him. They are all bark, no bite.

Read his posts. They're dishonest. He flat out argues against things I don't say. And he quotes just snippets of what I said and argues against them in isolation, to the point where he shifts the burden of proof on me.
