Reply #68: Giving in to threats is a foolish way to govern [View All]

[Muddleoftheroad]

Every nation with armies can make threats. Do we do what each and every one of them wants us to do?

No. We are under no obligation to aid North Korea. And since they have threatened out cities with nukes, we would be foolish to prop up their petty little dictatorship.

They might bluster all they want, but the reality is that Krazy Kim will not survive as a leader in a war with the U.S. He knows this.

And, if you note my post elsewhere in the thread, they also know that invading will result in a less than limited response.

Nations will continue to make threats as long as they get away with it. Once he realizes that we have no interest in aiding him, supplying him, trading with him or having any of our allies do the same, he will realize that he pushed too far.
