Our Only Option?

I keep hearing how there aren't any good options for dealing with a nuclear North Korea. That may very well be true, but they still must be dealt with.

We cannot allow them to continue building their strength, stockpiling weapons, and making threats. Evil must be stopped.

Our last two President's did very little to stop the evil dynasty. All their talks and sanctions were doomed to fail, even before they were attempted. They knew this, and we're only kicking the can farther down the road. They did the bare minimum they could get by with, while the Kim family continued to grow in power.

Now, there's almost nothing we can do anymore, and the threat is becoming more serious by the minute.

The last thing anyone in America wants, is another long and drawn out war (especially one we've already lost in the past). We're sick of regime changing and nation building. But, in this case, we may not have much choice.

I know that in the seventies, President Jimmy Carter signed an order forbidding the United States from assassinating government officials in other countries (either directly, or through third parties). However, this is a very delicate and extremely sticky situation.

It may require a surgical strike directed at Kim Jong Un, and a few of his top advisors. While, at the same time, we could launch a cyber attack on their missile systems to keep them grounded.

We could even try to rally the support of the people themselves, and help them to stage a coup. If/when it works, we can step in, remove all the nukes, and destroy all their research.

Yes, I know that China "won't allow it", but they won't really have a choice. They have had opportunity after opportunity to reign in their lapdog, and have only recently made any sort of effort. They aren't stupid, they know a nuclear North Korea is far too dangerous to allow.

It's obvious that talking to Un, or sanctioning him, isn't going to work. Unfortunately,  in my mind, that only leaves one other option. Because we sure as hell can't keep ignoring him.
