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.
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.
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.
No, South Korea must be the country to take action with the full backing of the United States.
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.
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.
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.
Only if there is undeniable evidence that they are planning to attack.
No, this can lead to war with North Korea and China.
Yes but only if North Korea poses a direct and imminent threat
We must be ready to strike if necessary, but should negotiate from a position of strength first.
No, it is unlikely to be successful at wiping out all retaliatory capabilities.
No until North Korea is an imminent threat to another nation.
No, North Korea is mostly talk. They know they'd regret striking the United States. It'd be suicide if they did. Plus, we'd nuke too close to our allies South Korea as their capitol is right on the border.
No, but we should be very strict on the denuclearization of north korea
No. Nuclear weapons should not exist at all. Attacking might probe war, and war should be avoided at all costs among every country.
If deemed an imminent threat
Nope that is a perfect way to start a world war
Only if they are a direct threat.
No. That is an act of war.
Still have much to learn regarding this subject matter
No, that will likely start a world war, however, keep pressure to ensure North Korea will not have a substantial amount of long-range or nuclear weapon capabilities.
Yes but only with U.N support
No, get the f*** out of their business
No, at this time unless thing's go hot there is no need to re-engage hostilities with North Korea.
No, this will only increase anti-American sentiment in North Korea, thereby increasing the risk of North Korean forces attacking the U.S.
No. Drastic action should not take place without direct acts of aggression and congressional approval. All diplomatic actions must be exhausted. But North Korea significantly destabilizes the region and could be a flashpoint for a larger conflict.
Yes, if they keep threatening us, and put a big boot up their butts. But first work with improving relations with China.
We should utilize this opportunity to work with China to combat North Korea
We should have serious discussions with them
Only if we know with almost 100% certainty that they are gonna send a bike at us.
No, we cannot trust US intelligence services to correctly make that determination, as it has almost always proved false.
Yes, but we should declare war first.
Only if provoked and the need arises
Not yet, as China and North Korea have a treaty, and by performing a military strike, we may risk angering China. We should attempt more peaceful alternatives first
Everything should be on the table and for the President and his military advisors to determine
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
