“..“You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train..”…
You might say that stopping North Korea from invading South Korea was – there was a just cause there.
They shouldn’t do that.
It’s not good.
It’s not right.
Does that mean, therefore, we should go to war to stop it?
You know Korean War is one of the least known wars.
It’s sort of a war that has been lost in history.
Two to three million Koreans died in that war.
Of course, a just cause: North Korea should not have invaded South Korea.
So, we go, “What’s the answer? War.
“What’s the result? Two to three million Koreans dead.
…We’re going to fight back in various ways.
We’re going to have strikes.
We’re going to have all sorts of things.
We’re going to have economic pressure.
We’re going to do all sorts of things to bring down this regime, to erode its power.
But we’re not going to have a bloody war in which we are going to be the victims, mostly.
So, finally. You’re saved.
