This is how a US President uses his forces to show strength to a potential adversary.

These 14 aircraft flew over the coast there near North Korea.

The F-35s and B-2s are US strong air power, accompanied by F-15s from SKOR and F-2s from the Japanese, they represent air power that the North Koreans would not be able to defense against in the air...and with the stealth aircraft there in any numbers, they would do SEAD duties until there were no more ground defenses to take on the air power there.

The N Koreans know this and hopefully it will help persuade them to stop menacing their neighbors.

The true solution will be for China to pull the N Koreans back from this madness of shooting ballistic missiles over the top of their neighbors nations.

Anyhow, here' show they looked:

this is simply amazing view:

Sorry but I disagreed. Since when does shooting missiles for testing kills more lives and causes more chaos than regime changing? The real true solution is for the US, South Korea, and Japan to get back to the 6 nations table talk without any pre condition demand in order to negotiated and work on a real peace deal resolution.

I will not debate politics...I will say this. there are some people, and some leaders of nations that you cannot "negotiate" with. Ask Chamberlain how that turned out when he went all in to negotiating with a tyrant.

If you want to talk about tens, and tens, and tens of millions killed when you do that with the wrong person...there's your example.

Anyhow, as I said, my own feeling is that the best solution would be for the regional power there who has some influence (China), to work with the North Koreans to make a difference.

Best to let that train of discussion and debate just go...it will turn bad and convince no one on either side who isn't already convinced.

I disagreed, this is NOT a political debate at all but rather of a different view point in historical truth. The saying that there are some leaders and nations that cannot be "negotiated" are all based on hubris by certain groups of people who has a vested interest in keeping certain tensions on going. An example will be Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and etc. are prime display of a failed regime changing and foreign interventions that causes the deaths of tens of thousands. ALL due to the belief that a "mad man like Hitler" must be stopped or else peace will not happen. That is just my opinion and I respected yours, so we shouldn't be afraid to go deeper into this discussion.

To the contrary, it is a political discussion...when you talk about people with hubris and a vested interest in maintaining things ypu are making a political judgement and it is pretty clear for the most part who you are talking about.

Chamberlain was not full of hubris..he was just terribly mistaken and it led to war the killed order of magnitude more than anything you are talking about...and i have met plenty of people from Iraq and Afghanistan who welcome the interventions that have occurred there and given them a chance to have some degree of freedom. They realize it is now up to them to maintain it...and sadly they are not sure they will be able to. But they are at least grateful for the chance that they never would have had under Hussein or the Taliban.

Anyhow...D if not about these issues. I will not respond to more such posts, and any more on this subject after this one I will delete. We have each responded to each other twice and it is pretty clear where we stand. Let's let that be enough.
