I'll say this again. If you firmly believe that Donald Trump, a NYC real estate developer, would not kowtow to Israel if given the opportunity to, you are incredibly gullible and completely detached from reality.
half of trump's campaign was him saying if you vote for Harris we'll be in a war by the end of the year. it's part of why so many independents and former democrats voted for him, he wasn't a George Bush style war monger. getting into a prolonged hot war with Iran would at minimum be a disaster politically for the republicans in the midterms and the next presidential election, not to mention it would fracture the base and open the door back for the neocons to wiggle their way back to power in the republican party.
The only way it wouldn't be an optics disaster is if we got 9/11 2 electric falseflagaroo to justify it preemptively, but even then I think a large portion of the country would just say it's isreal doing it and want to stay out of whatever war springs up.
Oh that's very simple. Why? Because the North Koreans are a cult worshipping one family and man through military might dictatorship.
Its pretty pathetic he has to ask that question in the first place of any of his people. Do you want crazy Islamic fundamentilsts to have the atomic bomb? "but what about North Korea?" Brother, that is their insurance policy against invasion. What is the purpose of Iran having nukes? To attack, and give out to their proxies. Reminder that these fuckers have attacked our ships, kidnapped our diplomats, and killed our men.
You assume it will be prolonged. Lol no.
All of North Korea's infrastructure is militarized and built with the expectation that the US will invade. When everything is bunkerized, attacking is difficult. On top of this, China supports North Korea and an invasion of North Korea would necessitate China getting into the mix - not a pleasant scenario. On top of that, North Korea does have a ton of conventional munitions and could level South Korea in a matter of hours, not to mention serious damage they could do to Japan. This does not even get into the clean-up and the humanitarian crisis. There are 26 million people in North Korea and a fuckload of them are already starving. It's one giant layer cake of shit.
this has literally been said about every long drawn out conflict in the past 200 years. War has a tendency to not go the way you think it should in theory.
Not a bad start but I want this Overton window to push much further.
North Korea also seems content on staying on its side of the DMZ at the moment. Sometimes it gets rocky, but generally they just sit there. Sometimes shoot a rocket over the ocean, but that's about it. The incentive to invade is very little when they don't do much.
You know, if you throw in some sandnigger zombies, this would be an interesting plot for a new Resident Evil game.
China has a leash on North Korea and that is what stops North Korea from doing anything too crazy. Iran does not have a handler.
For the same reason why America never invaded or attacked directly the USSR in the Cold War. Even if there's a possibility of all North Korea's nukes are fake or broken, it's still not worth to risk of D.C getting glassed just to fight for
There is that too. China keeps them from starving too much and generally enables diplomatic channels at times when NK is being asshole. Iran is on their own.
They're really doing this "I'm your Republican Congressman" shit again?
