In reply to the discussion: Do you support a pre-emptive strike on North Korea ? [View all]FLPanhandle
(7,107 posts)9. With things as they are now, no.
However, if North Korea continues to escalate their threats and it appears they are actually planning on doing something, then, I would switch my vote to yes.
A lot of people would die in South Korea either way, so it would have to be a real threat and done as the only option to save the most people.
So, no and yes.

I take China at their word. War in their neighborhood is the last thing they want.

No, China has publically stated they will support whichever state is not the initiator !!

I'd support an attack if they lobbed a missile and hit one of our allies.
