Yes, so what are our options then? Continue to “appease?” Start a war to kick him out? Covert operations? Exploding cigars? Sounds like we’re content to let the old man play with his toys and let him bask in his own little ego in his own little world for a little while longer until he expires. What then?

The other option? A lengthy, bloody war resulting in tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of dead? Maybe a million? Is this the option that the anti-“appeasement” crowd would prefer?

At what point does pragmatism become appeasement, or vice versa?

Isn’t N. Korea’s military made up mostly of rusted out and broken down Cold War-era Soviet hardware? And aren’t their troops and populace in general poorly trained and weakened by famine?

I don’t know if these things are true — they’re just nuggets that I’ve heard a few times from various reporters who’ve managed to get in there. I am curious what the military-knowledgeable people here think about the above claims.

[quote=meadandale]Do you know how much money illegal immigrants send back home? They aren’t spending all that money HERE, it is being spent back in Mexico…So much for all the illegal immigrants ‘helping’ our economy.[/quote]

Could that be offset by the money that is saved by the businesses who hire illegals? I’d bet that corporations save more money by hiring illegals than what the illegals themselves make and send back to their homeland. Surely these savings are cycled back into the economy by the businesses.
