Should the United States and South Korea declare War against North Korea?

I've had more than enough of North Korea in my lifetime. I believe it's time for the United States and South Korea to launch one last War to dismantle the communist regime once and for all. Call me crazy; but I think one of these years, that crazy North Korean dictator, might actually send a nuclear warhead our way (or at South Korea, or at Japan).

As such I believe the United States Navy, the South Korean Army, and a joint operation of both Air Forces should declare and launch War against the North Korean regime. We're no longer in the Cold War, containment doesn't achieve anything anymore, we must eliminate our national threats and enemies, whether they be rogue states or international terrorist organizations.

What say you, should the United States and South Korea declare War against North Korea? I believe we should, but I don't think the current Administration has the courage to do so.

North Korea really wants a War? Lets Fight!

Authors note - My inner War Hawk is out-of-control. A National enemy challenges the United States to a fight; we must act, and we must kick some serious Communist ass!

After it was discovered that North Korea was behind the sinking of a South Korean vessel, a few weeks ago, the United States and South Korea quickly condemned the North and promised pain (economic and otherwise). However, the North has responded with threatening War against the United States and South Korea.

My solution? If North Korea really wants a War, than lets give them a War.

(Warning to all Liberal readers: This evil Conservative is about to enter warmonger mode, brace yourselves)

For too long North Korea has threatened the United States with nuclear warheads, South Korea with constant invasion, and Japan with missile launches. I'm not sure what our gameplan was in 1955, but our enemies are still in North Korea, still threatening us, and now have the materials to completely obliterate us.

Something must be done.

I'm not a Military expert or strategist (though I hope to be one by this time next year), but if the combined forces of the United States Navy and the South Korean Army, with the occasional help from the Air Force (American or South Korean); I cannot imagine the North maintaining a strong defense for more than a week or two.

What about China? Some will ask.

The solution is rather easy (world economics would barely be touched by a War in North Korea, considering North Korea doesn't have an economy, and that our Troops are already there in the South); if our Chinese counterparts side with the North Koreans, than America should prohibit all products from China from entering our Nation during the War, and I'm sure the South Koreans would do likewise.

Even if for some unknown reason you don't like my war plan, please consider this: If the United States of America, and South Korea, toppled the North Korean regime, than millions of innocent oppressed souls would finally be able to taste freedom, and Korea would be one Nation (with the head of government in Seoul of course) again.

As I said before: If North Korea really wants a war, than lets give them a war.

North Korea Posturing Once Again

With an on-going crisis mounting on the Korean peninsula, dictatorial North Korea is once again trying to throw its weight around. With tensions seemingly increasing daily, North Korea apparently has no reservation about pushing the region into war.

The present hostilities have arisen after a reported North Korean missile sunk a South Korean ship. Instead of simply denying the attack, North Korea began declaring U.S. and South Korean aggression, while making bold promises about war, including that if the sinking of the ship is punished, then "all-out war" will ensue. This posturing continues.

Today, North Korea accused the South of trespassing upon their territory and promised military action if it 'continued.' What needs to be examined is why exactly North Korea is using the rhetoric of war. The leaders in Pyongyang must surely know that if war were to come that they would be crushed alone. Maybe that is the reason.

The posturing of the North could very well be them trying to gain support from the rest of the world. If Kim Jong-Il is able to gain the sympathy of China, then the United States and the South may not be willing, or even able, to act.

With the North blindly threatening war, if it should arise out of this conflict, then it would be a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts. North Korea could point to their warnings of war and declare that they were trying to avoid war, when it is obvious that they are doing the opposite.

We need an able hand to weave through this crisis. I doubt the President is the man to do it, but one can hope, I suppose.

Korean Ship

This could have huge consequences:

From Reuters:

* S.Korean ship with 104 aboard sinking near disputed border

* South Korea holds emergency security meeting * Possibility of North Korean attack under investigation

* Several sailors reported dead

Cho Mee-young and Kim Miyoung

SEOUL, March 26 (Reuters) - A South Korean naval ship was sinking on Friday after possibly being hit by a North Korean torpedo and several sailors were killed, South Korean media reported.

A South Korean warship later fired at an unidentified vessel towards the north, indicating a possible attack, and the South's presidential Blue House was holding an emergency security meeting, the Yonhap news agency said.

"The ship appears to have begun sinking after an explosion at the rear of the ship," Yonhap quoted the South Korean Navy saying in a statement. "We have been unable to find the exact cause of the incident as of this moment."

The incident comes as destitute North Korea is facing pressure to end its year-long boycott of international nuclear disarmament talks, where it can win aid to prop up its broken economy in exchange for reducing the security threat it poses.

The North often rattles sabres ahead of major diplomatic meetings as a way to alarm its dialogue partners in the hope that they would be more willing to make concessions.

South Korea's YTN TV network said the government was investigating whether the sinking was due to a torpedo attack. But the network also quoted a government source saying it was unclear yet whether the incident was related to North Korea.

"We are currently focusing on rescuing people," the source said.

The incident took place near a disputed Yellow Sea maritime border off the west coast of the peninsula that was the scene of two deadly naval fights between the rival Koreas in the past decade.

Yonhap said the 1,500-ton ship with 104 crew aboard began sinking around 9:45 p.m. (1245 GMT)

Local media reports said at least 59 South Korean sailors survived the attack and an unknown number appeared to have been killed or were missing. A rescue operation was under way. Navies from the rival Koreas exchanged gunfire for the first time in seven years in Yellow Sea waters in November, damaging vessels on both sides.

North Korea in recent weeks has said it was bolstering its defences in response to joint South Korean-U.S. military drills that were held this month. (Writing by Jon Herskovitz and Alex Richardson; Editing by Raju Gopalakrishnan)

Obama: North Korean Treat 'Overblown' by Critics

Dan Garvey
CNR
June 12, 2009

President Obama has earned flak from critics for his so-called inaction against North Korea; now it seems there's a reason why. According to a spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the President believes that the threat posed by the North Koreans is "overblown."

"The President doesn't want to act either positively or negatively based on the short-term actions by a country," the spokesperson stated. "He also does not want to act on something that he feels has been exaggerated by his political rivals."

When asked what the President thought of the UN resolution to sanction North Korea, he stated that Mr. Obama was "very upset."

Raymond Downing, an adjunct professor at Princeton, tried to explain the President's actions. "It is very clear to see a connection here," he said. "During the lead up to the Iraq war, President Obama did not join the public and start blindly accusing Iraq of so-called weapons of mass destruction. In the end, he was right to vote against the war.

"The same is happening now," Downing continued. "The right is calling bloody murder over North Korea launching their weapons, when the real threat is not what they say. The President is right to look at the situation in every way he can.

"It's his responsibility," he concluded.

In a circular distributed by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, the rationale was made more clear.

"The President will always try to understand all sides of a conflict; it is a stated goal that he has made while a candidate and as President. To abandon it now would be wrong.

"It is also clear that the United States' actions against North Korea can only be so much," the classified memo continues. "We cannot invade the North because of a few provocative actions, and we must always give nations a chance to redeem themselves. In truth, the North has done nothing to warrant substantial penalties."

Despite the President's claims, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates disagrees. According to one of his press representatives, "Mr. Gates believes that the threat posed by North Korea is a real one, and that to allow them to continue on their destructive path unabated could prove disastrous.

"It is the hope of Mr. Gates that the President will come to the same conclusion that he has come to," the press rep also stated.

Obama to Sell B-2 Bomber Blueprints to China to Pay Off Debt

B-2 Plans for Sale?
Richard Hogarty
Boston Reviewer
June 1, 2009


Record deficits and a crashing economy appear to be taking a toll on the young Barack Obama Administration. The Administration has been talking about hiking income taxes and perhaps instituting a VAT tax.

China is also concerned with the mounting deficits in the United States budget. China is the single biggest holder of US Treasury Bonds and is one of Washington's biggest trading partners. The People's Republic has had a burgeoning economy, but is increasingly wary of the falling US dollar.

While the exact amount of Chinese ownership of US treasuries is unknown, it is estimated to add up to over a trillion dollars. If China were to call in US guarantees on these bonds, economists fear it could lead to an economic collapse larger than the Great Depression.

China has recently expanded its defense budget, ostensibly to keep up with its economic growth. China is reportedly working on its own version of a stealth bomber (the US has the only functioning model) but is lagged by technological defects.

On April 1st, President Obama spoke to Chinese Premier Hu Jintao during the G20 Summit. During this meeting, Mr. Hu expressed interest in writing off some of the US debt in exchange for military technology. The President has since referred the matter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

The Defense Department is reportedly furious with the President's proposal to sell blueprints of the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber to the People's Republic. Gates has flatly rejected the President's plan, but has since been asked to step down if he will not facilitate the process.

According to the deal, the United States would sell the plans for the B-2, along with radar-absorbing paints and metals in exchange for $50 billion in debt relief. The B-2 cost the US government $23 billion to develop the bomber in the 1980s.

According to the Administration, this proposal will help the United States resolve its debt issues. They point out their belief that the B-2 bomber is "strategically obsolete", according to a source in the White House Press Office. In addition, the source claims that the Chinese would be unable to create their own functioning stealth bomber fleet for "at least eight years."

American allies Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea are very wary of the proposal. Koo Syi, a geopolitical analyst from South Korea, points out that this technology could be passed to China's allies. This was the case when Chinese nuclear technology was transferred to Pakistan and North Korea. According to Koo, Obama has rendered US allies' opinions as "irrelevant."

While this proposal is controversial, it is not being presented to Congress, where it could meet with stern opposition. Instead, the State Department has been informed to assist the Defense Department with the transfer of materials.

Obama Offers North Korea $25 Billion in Aid

Maggie Kleist
May 28, 2009

The inauguration of US President Barack Obama in January was hailed as a "transformative" event in American foreign policy. On Iran, the new President is backing talks and in Palestine, Israel's criminal settlement program is being reversed. North Korea, long isolated by the criminal Bush regime, is now being re-included into the family of nations.

North Korea is accused of detonating a test nuclear weapon last week and of firing missiles. The United States and South Korea have both threatened war over this, but it appears that now the US is finally heeding its own advice and stepping back.

According to North Korean media, the US is prepared to offer the north up to $25 billion in direct aid if the North agrees to stop enriching plutonium. According to the plan, $8 billion would be given as food aid, $10 billion as infrastructure, and $7 billion in general funds.

While American conservatives may complain of the plan, it has been noted that only $12 billion of the total will come from the US treasury. The remaining $13 billion will come from many of the other aggressive nations in the world, such as Britain, Japan, and South Korea. France has rejected the call to donate money.

The North Korean leadership is very pleased with this, according to the state media. Pak Ui Chun, North Korea's foreign minister, has stated that the money is "one small step towards the reparations owed to us by the greedy Americans."

Payments are intended to start in August, with the People's Republic's nuclear program beginning shutdowns in November. American pleas for inspectors have been denied. Obama has accepted that the PDRK will disarm without international oversight.
