We need to be real about Korea. There are few good outcomes of american policy there and to blame the US for that is a bit disingenous.
1. If we attack reactor we create a dirty zone and most certainly get a huge military attack on our forces and on Seoul. A nuke might even be used although i doubt it.
2. If we negotiate to some extent we send the message that belligerence pays off with appeasement.
3. If we feed them, the bulk of the food goes to the military and their families.
4. If we dont feed them, starvation is the result.

This cant all be our faults. Where are china, japan, russia in all this? There are places in the world that may not have good outcomes.

I think it makes America look very very bad.
Instead of Bombing and Invading


I know you don't mean that bombing and invading is better than continuing to give them food and fuel to keep their Military warm and fed. You know the food and fuel we have given them for the last 9 years, that has never made it down to the people, has not stopped them from going ahead with WWD.
