Let's shoot a missile at North Korea! It's not like they have nukes or anything

The National Interest isn't exactly a well-known publication and I think this is a good thing. Almost everything they publish is some sort of war-mongering piece that is designed to get people worked up with stories that are based on nothing other than pure speculation or, as we have come to expect from the media, complete manipulation of statistics.

In a recent article, clown journalist Daniel R. DePetris puts out the headline that was shocking enough to land on many major news aggregator sites when he said "Could Trump Replicate The Soleimani Killing Against North Korea?"

Daniel, who writes almost exclusively pro-Trump pieces makes such absurd points in his articles such as "North Korea only has 30 to 60 warheads, the United States has around 3,000. Yeah pal but perhaps you remember what happened to Japan when only 2 of them were used?

There's Daniel, hanging out on a beach that hasn't yet experienced nuclear fallout and therefore he is very unlikely to get radiation poisoning... isn't that nice?

Plus even though he is Pro Trump he kind of glances over the fact that Trump has taken a rather novel diplomatic approach to North Korea's leadership especially Kim Jong-un. The National Interest loves to gleefully exhibit the immense military might of the United States.

I think you don't need to be a hack journalist to realize that an attempt on Kim Jong-un's life would almost certainly result in the immediate dispatching of the full might of North Korea's nuclear arsenal and other military capabilities. While this likely wouldn't do too much damage to mainland USA it is a foregone conclusion that the loss of life in neighboring South Korea would be catastrophic.

Speculation of this sort isn't going to go anywhere, thankfully and I think that most people would read this article and think that it is completely insane that someone would even suggest this.

He finished the article by writing

"A president has to ask whether the assassination of a North Korean minister, general, or politburo member—or the killing of the supreme leader himself—overrides the death, destruction, and reputational harm accompanying such a dastardly decision."

I don't think the President needs to ask himself this. I think everyone already knows the answer to this really stupid question in your silly click-bait article.
