North Korea

Unfortunately I have come to the conclusion that the American people don’t understand the threat from the People’s Republic of North Korea.

What they don’t understand is the estimate that comes from the US Department of Defense. Namely that 50 nuclear strikes against the United States would bring under attack half the population and three quarters of the industry and result in a blow the United States could not recover from.

It matters not that the United States could or would mount an overwhelming response. Our society would already be dead. It’s improper to think we are safe because we have 5,000 nuclear weapons while they have only 50. Fifty is all they need.

Are they there yet? We really don’t know. But we do know that they are pursuing it with an obsession. World history shows leaders whose sanity was questionable and how wars occurred when they gained control of the apparatus of the state.

On June 7, 1981 the Israeli Air Force conducted an attack against a nuclear reactor 17 kilometers southeast of Baghdad. Saddam Hussein went so far as to say that this reactor was for the purpose of making weapons to be used against Israel. Kim Jong-un has stated that the weapons he is building are for use against the United States. And he has named some specific targets.

The United States should follow Israel’s lead and attack the nuclear reactor which is producing the plutonium and tritium used in their weapons, and at the same time attack the leader’s person. Since the issue is nuclear, a nuclear weapon should be used. Now, while there still is time.
