Urrrgghhh
They killed him. Nothin
North Korea killed him.
What now? Probably nothing, which is exactly the problem!
The prisoner that came back in a coma?
Because Hope my man, we are not going to war over one guy. You’ve seen where that World Policeman beat goes.
Yeah, I nether expect nor desire that to happen over one guy.
And yet the obscurantist state of North Korea continues to maintain its wretched position, oppressing its own citizens and threatening foreigners, because the alternative does not serve either of its neighbor’s self-interest. Time is being made to stand still.
Suffice it to say that I am frustrated and I think it would be better for time to stop standing still. Ideally the USA would be either minimally involved, or provide only muscle.
Warmbier probably got the same treatment as a hundred thousand North Koreans.
West Germany basically bought East Germany from the Soviets when they ran out of money.
I wish this was possible for Korea. North Korea does not even care when they run out of money or rice. I fear they just go on forever like this.
We gave up the money, blood, and political capital to just go to Korea flat out when we went to Iraq.
I’m sorry. It would have been far more justified. Maybe, in some other timeline, somewhere, there is no ISIS and Samsung’s heavy industry division is building power plants on the outskirts of Pyongyang.
I’m not sure that the national policy establishment have even learned that when you decide to play world policeman, you must play to win. The Neocons loved the idea of American Empire, but they weren’t willing to pay the ideological price it takes to do it for real.
