Implementing ABM's would encourage China and Russia to do the same. They're not going to sit back while we nullify their strike capability saying "oh, this is meant for the North Koreans only".

Tell China if they don't act, we will grant Japan a nuke missile site they can lease from us.
There's plenty of diplomatic hardballs that haven't been thrown. Or tell China we'll let them have South China Sea if they get rid of Bowl Cut.

We should offer the Chinese the right to implement their own puppet government in NK.

The Superb Owl
OK, but how does that make us responsible for opening the Pandora's Box "unnecessarily"? Help me understand your reasoning, please.

The Superb Owl
Not sure our allies would be cool with that.

Beats war. Beats losing Seoul.
If you want alternatives to the unthinkable that's the kind of thing you're looking at.

What they want is Tibet.
Should we kiss their ass and let them have it without interference in exchange for helping us do something about NK that we can't do ourselves?
What if we threw Trump in with the deal?
(oo)
The Superb Owl
I doubt the other nations in Asia would agree.
Maybe, but getting consensus would like herding cats, I think. We don't have time.

Well, we can't very well throw Hillary in lol.

We can absolutely neuter Bowl Cut with conventional weapons---but the unintended consequences are dicey.
Pick your poison.

The Superb Owl
Uh, I somehow doubt that. The Chinese are unlikely to allow it, for one thing. Mutual-aid agreements.
(oo)
The Superb Owl
How are "we" responsible for opening the Pandora's Box "unnecessarily"?
Can you expand on that, please?
That's a Cold War escalation we can all live with for a change.. ABM's are not offensive weapons
Ok by me..it can't be any worse

I think he wants to blame Trump for NK and he's trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B lol.
you mean recognition?
I doubt they care about recognition anymore. Tibet has been thoroughly ethically cleansed by Hanization
Hillary blame lil' Kim for election loss!
Dalai Lama’s travel plans ignite reincarnation row
Children spin prayer wheels at a monastery in Tawang

In Tibet’s unique strain of Buddhism the succession of senior lamas, who also wield temporal power, is determined by reincarnation. The 81-year-old Dalai Lama, who has gained global celebrity during a life in exile, is the 14th of his lineage. He has said he will not be reincarnated in territory controlled by China, while the officially atheist Communist government in Beijing has declared that he will.
His planned trip in early April to Tawang, a Tibetan community in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh in the eastern Himalayas, has raised alarm in Beijing. It follows his visit in November to Mongolia, which practises a similar form of Buddhism.
In 1995 Beijing selected the 11th Panchen Lama, the second-most important figure in Tibetan Buddhism, after a failed attempt by senior Tibetans within China to anoint a mutually agreed choice. The six-year-old boy who was the Dalai Lama’s selection disappeared and has never been heard from again.
That experience hardened the Dalai Lama’s desire to keep his succession out of Chinese hands.
China last year created an online database of government-certified reincarnations to solidify its “undeniable endorsement right over the reincarnation system” before the Dalai Lama’s death. The move to regulate reincarnations came after a Han Chinese actor declared himself a “living Buddha” and began collecting donations from Chinese attracted to Tibetan spirituality.

Sure .. we are the only nation on the planet to use nuclear weapons .. and we did it twice .. because we were testing .. and we didn't have to use them either time that we did.
Japan is an island and they were running out of everything .. and the Soviets were closing in.
The War Was Won Before Hiroshima—And the Generals Who Dropped the Bomb Knew It
Seventy years after the bombing, will Americans face the brutal truth?
