I agree with this. The Japanese are our allies and right now they have an immediate threat not too far away that is capable of reaching their homeland.

Nukes are not the solution, the NK people deserve better especially considering the daily hell they live in. I wish we could just throw major boots on the ground and have Kim Jong Un dead in a week but I honestly have zero idea how viable that option is. And of course you'd have to think of the repercussions with China, but sooner or later they have to realize supporting a dictator will have some blowback on them when the dictator eventually falls.
