Why can't we leave North Korea alone

[ExodusNirvana]

From what I see they just want to be isolated with no one trying to tell them how to live. As long as they aren't whooping South Korea's ass let them be.

Except they do not recognize South Korea as independent and have made numerous threats to South Korea as well as anyone who does recognize them as a sovereign state, not to mention the fact that they're attempting to become a nuclear state.

Also, many of their people don't know what food looks like. There are people who have lived their entire lives and never had a piece of fruit. Ever. Or a piece of meat. Some of em are just living off rice and grass and water.

What makes you think moral pronouncements like the above have any relevance in the sphere of international relations?

You dont understand, the only countries that can actually be a threat to us are in the Americas, our country has the perfect strategic location to avoid wars.

If Russia or China wanted to blow the US off the face of the map they could, but then the world would probably end shortly after. Like maybe 20-30 minutes after.

nukes and intercontinental missiles are still threats.

They could take out some major cities and fukk us up but to say that they could "blow the US off the face of the map" is exaggerating to put it lightly. Do you know how big the U.S. is? The vast majority of the country is sparsely populated. If this did happen we'd still be able to retaliate on a massive scale.

That said, this situation is entirely unrealistic.

Again, like I said, if China and Russia wanted to blow the U.S away they could but the world would end shortly after because any strike the Chinese or Russians make against the US would be nuclear in nature, far more powerful than anything seen in WWII, and would be met by swift and equal strikes that would culminate in nuclear holocaust since everyone with nuclear arms would get involved. End of the world scenario. And plausible, but not probable.

The US is so good at getting other countries to stop doing business with other communist country, except China. The world needs them

But on the real, USSR would have survived if it were not for all the boycotts and sanctions. The Soviet Union was some scary shyt breh. Their population and land mass was status. They owned half of Europe and large chunk of Asia. They also matched us in Technology but were more barbaric and don't have no regard for human life, not just to enemies but to their own people. Stalin was ruthless and his henchmen didn't play no games.

N. Korea is a mini me version of Russia, but they really have no influence, but are like a trained pit bull that China can unleash if shyt goes down as someone stated earlier. N. Korea also has one of the largest standing, highly trained armies in the world. So believe people when they say that they are a threat internationally.
