Why not just form an international coalition, invade and free, once and for all, the Korean people from that horror? It's gotta be the most justified military intervention in History.

Yes, besides a funny hairdo, the crazy in chief has a few nuclear fire crackers. Just destroy those installations before sending the troops.

It's a worthy task, and the key to doing so is getting China on board. On one hand, NK is probably the most exasperating "ally" China has, but on the other hand, China really doesn't want the combination of refugees and US bases on its borders in the event the government collapses. So perhaps a deal where North Korea becomes a Chinese SAR for a period of 25-50 years (since China is much better prepared to absorb the cost than South Korea)?

There's a lot of complex issues involved, but I have to agree. If ever there was a justified invasion, this has to be top 5 at least.
