Nkorea hits tipping point

North Korea has now reached the tipping point in its quest for far-reaching nuclear weapons, having displayed the capability to destroy American targets and devastate the South Korean peninsula, including Seoul and up to 30,000 U.S. troops now stationed in South Korea.

While the time for negotiating never ceases, it does clearly seem that very soon the U.S. will have to bring its military power to bear on the North Korean regime. Once an overwhelming force of American military strength has accumulated in the region, and with precision based targeting by the U.S. military, massive North Korean artillery will have to be destroyed quickly to avoid a bloodbath in Seoul.

The time is edging closer to when such a strike can be expected.

The time for talk is over, the time for action is here. This rogue regime has arrived at the point where it is capable of striking America, Japan and South Korea, and the madman in charge of North Korea will hesitate little to use his nuclear power when called upon.

North Korea’s artillery is aimed at Seoul, and the threat of nuclear weapon use is ongoing. Therefore, any strategy used to take out the North Korean regime must target at least three critical points: the artillery installations, the nuclear installations and regime headquarters for command and control.
