Why would they ever do it? At best they will have a couple of nukes. Sure, they can inflict brutal civilian damage (provided they tech actually hits something, it's not really trivial to make an ICBM work), but what then? After a nuclear attack, the US will wipe the country off the face of the Earth and everyone else will just silently watch, because that's the obvious protocol in case of a nuclear attack. That is a great net loss even for the Glorious Leader.

The usefulness of a nuke for a small nation is dubious at best. At most they can threaten retaliation in case of aggression, but even that isn't that convincing when the re-retalitation wipes the out within hours.

They can already reach Japan and South Korea, no? Both significantly more densely populated than the american west coast. In a way, the timer ran out quite some time ago.

I mean, in a sense I also agree, because if you let North Korea develop actual MAD capabilities, then who knows wtf they'd demand. But 'reach american soil' isn't a significant timer at all, imo. I also think the Kim Dynasty cares about self-preservation more than anything else, and I think targeting American soil is about as non-self-preservationy as it gets.

This sounds like you're deliberately playing down Trump's consistent leniency towards Russia's actions in Ukraine and the sanctions. And the party platform change on Ukraine. Trump consistently said let's get along with Russia, wouldn't that be a good thing? All so that we could fight ISIS, which is just sham reasoning. I don't think he was waffling on Russia.

As expected the Dems have filibustered Gorsuch's nomination. I can't see them stopping the "nuclear option" though.

A nuke is the ultimate guarantee against foreign intervention in response to the Bush doctrine. When Bush listed his Axis of Evil the lesson was pretty clear to everyone. Iraq had disarmed in an attempt to integrate back into the global economy and as such got invaded. North Korea had not discontinued its nuclear program, at the price of isolation, sanctions and poverty, but was left alone. It's why Iran, the third country on Bush's list, was pretty much forced to make a nuclear program. It's a guarantee of sovereignty.

Or consider the example of Ukraine. A state that had always been bullied and dominated by its larger neighbour including a particularly brutal recent history of ethnic cleansing and genocide. Ukraine willingly gave up its nuclear deterrent in exchange for promises of non interference and a guarantee of backing by the nuclear powers in any case of violations of its territorial integrity.

If we want not getting nuclear weapons to be popular then we have to stop proving the countries that get them right all the time. The only reason Iran gave up on theirs is because they no longer believe the United States to be a credible military threat worth the economic costs of having a nuclear weapon to deter.

I think he has no idea what he's doing on many fronts, and that just happens to be the one that gained the most attention because of existing circumstances and the DNC leaks.

A larger conspiracy has yet to be proven and I see no indication that a larger conspiracy is more likely than just stupid all around. The latter narrative seems to have more support, in fact.

Well China may or may not be happy to know that Trump abandoned the TPP - a troubling, but admittedly difficult-to-scrap trade agreement - with no follow-up plan. And then proved that he could be won over by a few personal bribes from the Chinese government.

Everyone who considers the US an ally, though, sucks for them.

Can't we just drone strike Kim Jong un, or maybe try to assasinste with help from other countries like south Korea and Japan? I don't think conventional war or nukes are the solution here. But I'm also not a military strategist.

The problem with removing the head of dictatorship with access to nukes is that you now have civil war in a country with access to nukes.
Its a case of '' better the crazy you know, then the utterly unknown".
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

If it were feasible it would've been done already. NK has enoug hair defense that having drone running around would be noticed and fired upon, and considered an act of war.
Also, that stlil leaves the north korean regime in charge, and possibly leads to a bloody succession war.
assassinating people is actually pretty hard when they have tight security.
so in short, no those aren't options.

North Korea should have enough defenses or radars to deflect a drone. Even if the attack somehow succeeded, the sheer chaos that would erupt would put East Asia into a terrifying situation. Battles over succession and control are not really good for an unstable country with nukes.

Wanna know how to topple NK? Regime Change via China. The biggest threat to Kim Jong Un, cellphones. More and more keep showing up in the hands of ordinary citizens that trade/buy them from Chinese tourists who NK wouldn't dare to arrest. No matter how countless many they confiscate or arrest. Thus videos start surfacing on the net, social media is explored and so on.

Dealing with NK would definitely need China, either through peaceful means or militarily. I am sure China doesn't want such a rogue state on their border either but since the US is a "rival" it doesn't want a US influenced state there either. If China was on board with NK regime change it would have been done by now.

Interestingly, the use of the filibuster to fuck with judicial nominees is a relatively new thing that democrats started. The first time it was done to allow a minority to stop the majority from appointing a judge was during W's presidency when democrats filibustered Miguel Estrada. So this isn't exactly a new institution/practice that the Senate is eliminating.

Even after reading some explanations, I don't understand how the fillibuster works. The talking has to end eventually, no? I understand it as a delaying tactics, but how does it prevent passing something completely? In Czech it was sometimes done at the end of the term, when the parliament dissolves and everything gets rebooted, but US is not anywhere near elections now.

It also all hinges on one party having between 50-60 percent of votes, that happens so often? The split is so stable?
