Enough is enough

The world for the longest time has sat around and said, “Hey N. Korea chill… or we will.. I swear to god we will do.. xyz..” And then nothing becomes of these empty threats. A majority of the major nations force sanctions on this country but then china props them up with exports exclusively to N. Korea and all the while longer the ruler of the nation is this much closer to a a nuke that could hit the continental United States.

If this continues with this small nation they will when they are able to launch a nuke at what they perceive to be their enemies. At that point it will be to late for the rest of the modern world.

So what is there to do?

Strike now, strike hard, and take the head off the snake. With Kim Jong Un out of the picture there may be a chance that the north and the south could resolve their problems and work together to stabilize that region.
Everyone is afraid of damage, and getting attacked, but if you do not take the initiative to the enemy, the enemy will when it is able take the initiative to its enemies as soon as it is able to.
