"The Pentagon ordered an advanced missile defence system to the western Pacific on Wednesday, as US defence secretary Chuck Hagel declared that North Korea posed "a real and clear danger" to South Korea, Japan and America itself."

Once we get done pacifying Iraq and Afghanistan, wouldn't North Korea be a nice place to invade?

[Dave Roberts]

History says we have already been there and fought to a standstill along the 38th parallel. Then we couldn't make peace, just stop hostilities. Any sensible person does not want a repeat.

There no thought of invading NK. The THAAD system purely defensive is being deployed to Guam. From O'Hare

Yeah, I don't expect to see us invade Kim Country, either. But it would be cheaper than invading Iran, and while they don't have oil they do have uranium. And if you'd asked me in 1980 I would have said there was no way we would ever be invading Iraq, and I didn't expect to see Germany reunited in my lifetime...
