How seriously indeed! If you really want to understand just how deranged such a lunatic can be and the extent of their illogical thinking, consider this. At the height of the Cuban missile crisis, Fidel Castro recommended that Russia should unleash armagedon against the US with one major and decisive nuclear missle attack. Russia told him that such an attack would certainly mean an end to Cuba and it's people to which Fidel responded "So what". Being in the position that Cuba is in they would likely not survive just the nuclear fallout from such an attack let alone the attack on them that would likely follow.
Given such illogical thinking, it would be criminal to sit on one's hands while intelligence tells us that the aggressor is making war preparations, they have advanced weapons and made public threats against us. WAIT! WAIT! just a second. Bengazi comes to mind at this point. What an example!
The really big question that remains is China and what they will do if anyone defends themselves against NK agression. All you old timers remember that during the Vietnam war China provided pilots, training and weapons to North Vietnam and threatened war if the US invaded. So, moving forward 45 years, will China do the same again and if we do invade NK will China declare war on us? Remember that China has nuclear weapons and ICBMs capable of delivering accurate strikes against us, all compliments of our buddy, Bill Clinton. Remember that he allowed rockets from here to be shipped to China to launch their own satellites into orbit. An odd thing happened on it's way to space, it malfunctioned and China did the recovery and returned "some" of the components that they could find. Suddenly they could build their own rockets. IMAGINE THAT!
