Soap Box

I heard Ambassador John Bolton give the most apt description of North Korea that I�ve heard.

He said that fiscal sanctions against North Korea were meaningless because they don�t have an economy. They�re not an economy, they�re a prison camp, with a leader who couldn�t care less about the suffering of the people.

There is not one ounce of pity, compassion or mercy in the whole Kim Jong-un dictatorship. North Korea is ruled by a petulant child who has never been told �no� in his entire life, a heartless adolescent who has his every whim met, who rules, not just by fear but, by a sense of horror instilled by his family over a period of six decades by starvation, torture and total control over every aspect of North Korean life.

A word spoken against the �dear leader� can land you in a gulag type prison where you�ll probably be worked to death, starved to death or beaten to death by the guards, which they�re basically, allowed to do at their own discretion.

The only things Kim Jung-un is interested in is his military, the few elite in Pyongyang who live relatively luxurious lives while the rest of the country has to resort to digging up roots and gathering acorns, live without any modern-day conveniences and cut down the vanishing forests for heat and cooking.

If you saw a night time satellite shot of North Korea it would be nothing but a black hole except for Pyongyang and a few other scattered lit areas.

North Korea is the most deprived, ill-informed, intimidated and misused people on the planet.

The thoughts of a nuclear device and a missile capable of delivering it, in the hands of such a monster is unthinkable, as the world would constantly be under the threat of nuclear blackmail.

Best to deal with it now before the program has the opportunity to become even more sophisticated, to do whatever it takes to destroy him and his arsenal.

This threat is not just to the United States. Any nation this maniac can develop a missile capable of carrying a warhead to is in imminent danger.

Stop and think about it, we are neither dealing with a rational, mature person or a compassionate human being who cares about the welfare and safety of anybody not in his immediate circle. The magnitude of loss of life means nothing to him, the more the merrier in his book.

The Kim Jong-un regime is dependent on China, they are the only nation in the world that can put enough pressure on him to defuse this dangerous situation and in a rational world, since there is no telling where this pudgy little peacock would aim his nukes, the nations of the world should come together and put every ounce of pressure they can exert on China to act.

If that fails, at least in my book, there are only two options left, a preemptive strike or sit back and wait for Kim to get up in a bad mood one morning and push the button and watch all hell break loose.

Even if it came down to a defensive response, North Korea would cease to exist in the first few minutes of the counter attack, but South Korea could lose millions of citizens in the same few minutes as Kim Jong-un would certainly rain down missiles on Seoul in a last act of desperation.

And therein lies the conundrum, how to protect South Korea while destroying North Korea. If North Korea was an isolated nation the decision would be simple, a preemptive strategic attack taking out all his tactical infrastructure and leaving him castrated and helpless.

But, unfortunately, no matter how swift and deadly our counteraction would be, it would only take a few minutes to activate conventional weapons and rain death down on Seoul, one of the most densely populated cities in the world and only a relatively few miles from the 38th parallel.

This is a problem that has been kicked down the road by Democrat and Republican administrations and it has reached the point that it can�t be kicked any further.

It has to be dealt with and soon before this demented little brat has the ability to destroy a good part of the civilized world.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops, our police and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America
