If China and North Korea are actually allies, then China will most likely not do anything. What's wrong with North Korea having nukes? doesn't America have enough nukes to destroy Earth multiple times?
The reason I heard why America is against it was because North Korea is a small country, and America doesn't want a small country to have nukes.
This is the whole thing. It has been said that if China doesn't get involved that the US should do nothing. But that is where the problem lies. The govt officials in this country don't think before speaking and are very ignorant in many matters. The govt sticks their foot in their mouth more often than not and needs to let the other countries be and do how they please. This country was founded on separation from the norm and wanting to do our things our way. Now that the country got to where they wanted they now see it their place to tell everyone else what to do and how to live. Pretty hypocritical if you ask me. We got or freedom from dependence on other countries and began our own country on the basis of freedom and or own govt policies. Now the govt owns us, we no longer own the govt. The govt dictates what we as people do now and the vast majority of the citizens are too worried about their own lives now and no longer get involved in govt affairs which is causing this enormous failure of the US now. Sure we are still one of the world powers and sure we are still a super power miliary wise but how long can this last. With the deficit we are in now if things don't change we are not going to be able to sustain our power.
People need to do something to change all of this but I really doubt that is going to happen. People are electing officials (if they even vote) with no research. Think about it for a minute, when you go in to vote for a president how much do you really know about the other officials elected on that same ballot? Many people just either vote str8 party or just GUESS on the rest. This paired with the lack of voting on local and state government officials is causing this countries downfall. Another thing contributing to this is the fact that politicians don't give a crap about the long term anymore. They instead are worried about getting reelected and worried about their own careers and not the long term benefit of the country.
I believe that in order to keep on intervening in other countries affairs we need to first get our own ducks in a row and stop trying to promote world democracy. If we don't take care of our own people and worry about our own problems and deficits what makes us any better than any other country? We need to butt out of everyone else's problems and deal with our own first or all this crap will ultimately result in Americas downfall.
Since 2002 we have spent over a TRILLION dollars on this war on terrorism and its FAR from over. If we had put that money into our own economy instead of someone else's we would be a hell of a lot better off than we are now. We have spent more on the supposed "worldwide war on terrorism" than all the other countries contributing COMBINED. I personally am sick of funding through my tax dollars someone else's problems when we have tons of problems of our own that could be fixed first. I am sorry but if it comes to me eating or some homeless guy on the street guess who eats. Its time for our country to start having the same mentality IMO.
