Yes, I am at the right place. Presuming, of course, that pointing out facts that should be obvious to even the most partisan of us is allowed.

I was making an observation about geopolitics that should be obvious to anyone with a modicum of expertise. These facts cannot be ignored for the sake political expediency, and it is frankly American arrogance that makes us think we are in the middle of this particular conflict. North Korea is not about the US, and never has been. We did the same thing in Viet Nam, acting like the war revolved around us when it really had nothing to do with us. As I said, our primary role is to be a proxy for the Japanese military so that Japan does not militarize itself. Beyond that, there is little we can do except convince China and South Korea to rein North Korea in.

The US has little business in North Korea, and I would assume that most Democrats would welcome the US finally butting out of things it has no business involving itself in for a change. It would certainly be a consistent position, and one I agree with for both pragmatic *and* ideological reasons, even if some nitwit in the whitehouse is responsible for it. Even a stopped clock...
