In January of 2016, North Korea announced that it detonated its first hydrogen bomb. CBS News reported that the U.S. intelligence community is skeptical that North Korea used a thermonuclear device. The blast was in single-digit kilotons, and a thermonuclear device is measured in megatons. North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, has been more ambitious than his father in the pursuit of long-range missiles and nuclear weapons, even in the face of warnings from China. Proponents of military strikes argue that North Korea crossed a line with its latest test and must be stopped at all costs. Opponents argue that North Korea repeatedly lies about its missile capabilities and that the we should let other countries in the region, such as China and South Korea, address this issue.
No, we need to find another diplomatic option. Once we go after North Korea, they are just waiting to drop an H Bomb on us and it will open the world to a gigantic world war that frankly, we cannot afford to lose.
Like Iran military strikes will be ineffective because we have dithered so long they are now extremely well protected from a military strike; we should asymmetrically attack N Korea and Iran to destroy their nuclear program(s). Cyber attack, infiltration of components that don't work, assassination of key personnel, we should do everything at our disposal to stop these people whose stated intention is to kill us for being us.
I think all forms of deterrence should be on the table when it comes to North Korea and their nuclear weapon capabilities.
No, but we should use economic pressure to cause North Korea to collapse.
Yes, along with other nations threatened by their capabilities. We are not the sole police presence of the world.
North Korea is known for its human rights violations, nothing is done to them because they're supported by China. Go ahead and do it.
No, South Korea must be the country to take action with the full backing of the United States.
Only if there is undeniable evidence that they are planning to attack.
America needs to mind their own buissness and focus on getting themselves out of debt. Stop getting involved in evrything when it doesnt even concern the U.S.
Work with the UN - this is a global issue
Yes. Then we should try Bill Clinton & Maddie Halfbright for treason after they let Kim jon il get nukes.
No, we should let South Korea address the issue
No, we must use every diplomatic option first, and North Korea is not an immediate threat to our country
Yes, unless we can come to an agreement of peace and if needed we can take action.
Yes If there is proof they have nuclear weapon capabilities
Not unless its necessary
Nor unless its necessary
Yes, but only of we believe that they are an imminent threat.
No, not until provoked
NO!!! ARE THEY INSANE? Has anyone ever heard of a thing called "assured mutual destruction"? It means that if we attack with drone strikes THE WORLD ENDS.
No, I'm afraid they'll nuke us back.
Yes, but only if we see that there is imminent threat to our homeland or national security interest.
Not unless they become a threat
No. Until such time as we are at war with North Korea, we should not aggressively pursue actions that could lead to such a war.
Yes, if there is a Congressional declaration of war against North Korea
just be peaceful and use your words
No, but the situation should continue to be closely monitored
No, and we cannot expect other countries to denuclearize until we ourselves, as well as other large nuclear powers, denuclearize as well, and it could have negative consequences for us as well as South Korea
Take out their political leaders from the inside out, then reunite the Korean peninsula under South Korea's current governance
No unless a military attack by North Korea is deem immanent
No, but keep the pressure on them
Yes, but only when it is absolutely necessary to deter a threat. Also, the moment you remove this option from the table you weaken your ability to negotiate.
Yes, but only if they openly attack the US. The US should never strike first.
Only as a defensive action
If required, then yes.
No unless we know they are going to strike at us or have suspicions.
@Beth-SimsGreen2yrs
Only at the behest and with cooperation from the UN and North Korea's neighbors.
No, but we should try to persuade/overthrow their current regime and untie them with South Korea and make them a democratic nation.
only if they attack.us first
No. They are not an immediate threat to us, and there are other countries involved that might be affected by such actions.
No, because we don't need a war between the United States and North Korea.
Only if they present a clear and present danger to the US
I don’t have a preference
Only if we declare war
No, we must use every diplomatic option instead, and if that doesn't work, let someone else handle it
Only if they start making threats to us!
No, we should remain neutral
Only if the citizens are not in danger of death/physical harm
No, let's not piss them off
If they threaten us with nuclear weapons and attempt to use them on us, then yes. In the meantime we should be keeping a close eye on North Korea and any other potential threats to our nation's safety.
