North Korea test-fires 7th missile

So, North Korea is testing short, medium and long range missiles and the test of the long range missile failed after 40 seconds. What do we do? CNN poll asks readers the best way to deal with it with the following options: 1) Ignore Pyongyang 2) Give North aid/money 3) Sanctions and embargoes or 4) Military action.

What are your thoughts?

Military action. Time for a little Mk. 84 JDAM action on The Jonger!

How do you spell relief? UGM-109! (Tomahawk cruise missile.)

No, no, no . . .

Let them whatever they want to do until next week. I have a short position on some Korean Stocks. After I liquid those stocks, then do whatever you got to do. In the mean time, let them do what ever they want so the price collapse and I profit.

Is that how they respond to our aid?

I do not believe in punishing the whole group for the misdeeds of one or two people. So perhaps sanctions/embargoes may not be a good idea.

Ignoring the problem will not make it go away.

I think controlled military action may be the best idea in this case. After all, they were trying to reach the USA with those missiles.

I say we stop being such cowards and let the snipers do their job.

Cut off aid to all countries for about 5 years, turn ourselves around first, then begin helping others again.

Time to start thinking about ourselves for a change.
