Please try to defend yourself in this debate.


You are the one who seems to be having a hard time defending your position in this debate. Nothing you've said about Pre-WWII Germany and world politics helps your position. Instead, you've proved what everyone else was saying about the rest of the world being too scared to act and allowing Hitler to become a global threat. The fact is that the Allies had plenty of chances to stop Hitler before his military power grew and didn't. His simple act of building up his military forces was a direct violation of the treaty and enough of a reason to stop him. Now, we may not have to worry about fighting an armed forces like Hitler's with Korea or Iran, but we have to worry about countries with nuclear capabilities launching warheads on rockets or even possibly using suitcase bombs in cities.


In 1936 there was no reason, they weren't scared. Treaties are often violated more or less, they didn't see it as a problem then. A war was not justified by then. In 1938 it could have been started but it wouldn't necesarily turn out well for the allies, so they didn't.

What's going on now is a sideshow on global level, it's in nobody's interest to start a war.


Who said that war was necessary? There are a lot of other things we can do like simply shooting down Korean missiles before they get to the Sea of Japan and enforcing trade embargoes and implementing new ones. All your argument is doing is showing that attempting to pacify and appease militant dictators with kind words and rewards for bad acts allows them the chance to create a real war and kill millions just because we're too afraid and PC to take a hard line.


Sigh, so you're suggesting that the way the USA is currently acting creates the possibility of a real war. You have any better ideas? Please come up with some. Also show what part of my argument is showing that attempting to pacify and appease militant dictators with kind words and rewards for bad acts allows them the chance to create a real war.

Well yes, the US are a afraid. I am willing to bet my life that they're not going to interfere in an east Asian land conflict in at least the next 50 years. If they are actually going to invade North Korea it would cost hundreds thousands of lives and they both know it. So please suggest what other options are available.
