So, let me see if I get the logic of this US/NK crisis from the standpoint of America Greatness

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Aug 10 '17, 09:05

So, we get into a nuclear pissing contest with a 3rd world nation that just happens to be pushing toward 1st world weapons.

We act strong, so do they, but in the end, it's likely going to be their patron, the world #2 that will talk them down.

So, American Greatness and power will just cede more control and influence to a nation that has actual ability and designs to be a superpower (if not already).

End result (provided we don't end up in a war), our geo-political foe will be stronger, and we'll be weaker...

That math look right to everyone?

Responses:

Pulling out of the Paris Accord gave China more power, as did pulling out of the TPP, which now looks like it's going ahead without us. Maybe Putin - jnine Aug 10, 09:47

    - heh, my three year old nephew was using a stick to hit the sidewalk about two weeks ago. When asked why he said 'because it's fun.' - Andie Aug 10, 09:45
