Rep. Hunter's Call for a 'Preemptive Strike' on North Korea Draws Concern

[RandySF]

Controversial comments made by U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-50th District) calling for a “preemptive strike” on North Korea have drawn concern and criticism from national security experts.

Hunter, interviewed by the local news station KUSI, said North Korea has nuclear weapons aimed at the U.S. and San Diego.
“From my perspective, why would I not hit you first? Why not do a preemptive strike when you have ICMBs leveled at the U.S. and you’re not a logical player in the world scene,” said Hunter.

“I would preemptively strike them. You can call it declaring war, call it whatever you want, but preemptively striking them and taking them out, I personally think that’s the only thing to get them not to have nuclear missiles at the United States,” said Hunter.

The comments were made in support of President Trump's comments before the United Nations earlier in the week. The President said if forced to defend itself, the U.S. “will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.”

1. Sigh. Deep sigh. Here's the problem with that.

North Koreans are humans just like we are. People don't go to war. Governments do. Unfortunately, tragically, we have two crazy, aggressive, nationalistic leaders flinging shit at each other just like monkeys do at the zoo. But, you know, if we start setting off nukes, millions of people will die or be permanently maimed who needn't be.

We don't need to butcher each other anymore.

Instead of that, why not start thinking of this earth as OUR home, the home of all life, and begin to treat it that way? Get rid of capitalism and start making decisions that will benefit us as a species, so that we can turn a new leaf and be good stewards over this earth and all life upon it.

Guess I'm just a snowflake....

So I'll leave you with this: Don't eat the irradiated snow.
