Russia will not go along with the oil embargo , which means that NK wont be forced into an attack . So the US plan to starve them of oil wont work.

Russia and China are not really on our side with this. They are not really on our side with anything unless it happens to coincide with their interests. The US asserting it's power in the region is not in their common interest.
Most of what we do doesn't even serve our interests.

I feel like that is a whole other discussion.
We could have good relations with Russia and that would solve 90% of world problems, even NK standoff, but in our 2-party environment, where partisanship takes the priority, such advances will be sabotaged.
Hawaii is under attack!!!

I would like to believe this, heck, most of the world would like to believe this, but really, that murderous little punk isn't giving up one scintilla of power.

Good one.
I can't disagree with saying lots of things have happened that people didn't expect....
But how in the he'll are Democratic South Korea and crazy communist dictatorship going to unite short of conflict? Fat boy is a control freak. He's not giving up anything
It's not as dire as our propaganda makes it out to be. I never understood how people, who know how our media operates from internal politics, think they are well informed about external matters. We are saints and everyone who stands in our way is evil. Yeah right.

I can make a list of BS we were told over the years about foreign matters, which turned out to be either fake news or exaggerations. Opinions formed from hearing one side of the story are worthless. I don't pretend to know much about Kim Jong-un, but neither is anyone else here. What I do know, he is not getting a fair coverage in our media. I am not saying he is a good guy, just not as bad as our propaganda paints him.
Dude. He's horrible
I'm absolutely certain I don't follow group think and media propoganda. And I'm also certain he's not getting a Christmas card from me. He kills off or torrures his own people like I want to drink beer
Let me put it to you this way. Imagine you fell on earth from the moon and turned on CNN and MSNBC. What would you learn about Trump? He is a serial sex offender, who also enjoys when women urinate on him. He is a crazy, senile, mentally unstable racist, anti-Semite and xenophobe. He is a Russian agent, who doesn't have any self-control and can start a nuclear war any minute. I can go on and on. But, but, but we also have conservative media, press and talk radio to rebut this. When it comes to foreign affairs this balance of information doesn't exist. Like they say, politics stops at the water's edge. So does our journalism.

Your post reminded me of the old movie where the guy sat 'the whole world is crazy, not me'.

I didn't know "the whole world" agreed on anything, but what I am challenging here is tribal knowledge.

Word of mouth from those who were lucky enough to flee from NK is also propaganda? Interviews from within NK are propaganda? 90% + or - of the residence are scared to death of the freak. And for good reason.
What you listed are classic propaganda tools. Thank you. How many countries did N. Korea attacked since the end of Korean war? How many did we? When did N. Korea deploy their troops outside their boarders? When did they bomb another country? I look at the facts.

NK doesn't have to attack anyone or deploy their troops to treat their citizens like shit and kill any who oppose them. I know the facts of what our country has done. Doesn't change what those have escaped the shithole have testified to. Every country on this blue marble has skeletons hiding.
It's up to Korean people to chart their own future, not the outsiders who know nothing about their history and their culture. 58,000 Americans were killed in Vietnam war, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese. Look at Vietnam now. What were we trying to prevent? Korea would have been another Vietnam or Mongolia if we didn't butt in.

We don't see eye to eye on the NK stuff, but you make a good point here.
