I don't believe that North Korea will stop doing what they are doing if everything was pulled, but you're foolish enough to think that the sanctions and military exercises actually accomplish something.
Scott literally said we shouldn't be surprised that the North is threatening nuclear war, since the U.S. has applied sanctions, had military exercises, etc... You can try to backtrack, but his braindead comments are proudly on display for the world to see.
You don't even know what I believe regarding sanctions. All of these tactics the U.S. employs are dancing around the true topic, which is the fact that we have a mortal enemy that possesses nukes.
We never should have allowed them to gain it in the first place, but Clinton was a bonafide traitor and sold us down the river while in office. We should invade and destroy their dictatorship now before they launch one of those weapons(which they will) and kill thousands. We can either wait for them to attack, or attack them first and gamble on the odds we crush them before they launch.
But the U.S. won't, because it's stuffed to the gills with people like you, so we'll wait for the North to attack and then wring our hands in angst when the devastation occurs.
North Korea is an asset to the U.S. government. Without a country like North Korea, there would be one less boogeyman that the government can use to frighten people into accepting this dogmatic foreign policy/budget/police state as necessary. For the children. We got the terrorist angle to give that "it can happen anywhere" feel of insecurity. With North Korea we can keep a little nuclear winter fear reminiscent of the Cuban Missile Crisis running through the population.
And here the nutjobs double down on stupid. Not only is the North's threats of nuclear war a direct result of our military actions(Scott's genius thesis), but our military actions are a direct result of the eeeeeeeevil "military-industrial complex(snore)" that wants to keep its budget fat(credit:Jarred).
I am just consistently amazed at how supposedly savvy marketeers are so insanely stupid regarding foreign policy and its causes and effects.
