After Andrea Mitchell explained the high risks of the United States acting preemptively, The 11th Hour host said this to MSNBC contributor Malcolm Nance:
Malcolm, our job tonight is to actually scare people to death on this subject so the talk isnt as free as it is about a preemptive or a surgical military strike. You know that part of the world. The population centers, Andrea and the General [Barry McCaffrey] have talked about, South Korea, the Japanese, and so on and so on.
Mitchell can be seen shaking her head in reaction to his remark. It is unclear whether she shook her head in agreement to such a sentiment or if she shook her head in disapproval with what he actually said.
And when a Horth Korean nuclear missile hits LA, then he'll say, "OK. I admit. I was wrong. Perhaps we should have acted preemptively."
He is in no position to say what the U.S. should or should not do about North Korea. Report the news. Don't attempt to shape public opinion with your scare tactics.
And when a Chinese nuke hits LA after a preemptive strike on North Korea, what's next?
If China cares that much about about North Korea that they'd start a nuclear war with the U.S., they'd better speak up ... now. Either that or clamp down on North Korea.
If China cares that much about about North Korea that they'd start a nuclear war with the U.S., they'd better speak up ... now. Either that or clamp down on North Korea.
The problem is that there is no way to nuke/attack North Korea without it looking like we are also attacking China.
And when it comes to nukes,there is no way we can nuke NK and not have the radiation blow into China.
One day,maybe one day soon,fat boy is going to meet with a tragic barbering accident,and there will be a new "Ruler for Life" in North Korea. One not so dangerous to Chinese ambitions and survival. China is the only reason NK even exists,and they have kept the NK's propped up all this time with aid packages because NK served as a buffer to any conventional attack on China back in the days when China was a communist nation.
Now they are fascists,and are looking outward instead of inward,and fat boy is not only endangering them,he is also causing them embarrassment and costing them money. You can bet there are some NK Generals that have the Chinese Politburo blowing kisses and suggestions of rewards into their ears if they "do the right thing",and the first time fat boy ever decides to pop off one of his missiles at some other nation with the intent to strike it will be the same day fat boy starts taking the long dirt nap.
