According to Fox News host Eric Bolling, the only solution to the problem of North Korea is to attack them with nuclear weapons immediately.
On the Fox show The Specialists, Bolling declared “it may be time for a preemptive strike” and asked his fellow panelists if they were “willing to risk Los Angeles” to a nuclear strike from North Korea.
As part of the discussion, Bolling blustered:
“Thirty minutes is the lead time between firing that missile in North Korea and Los Angeles. Are you willing to risk Los Angeles?
“It may be time for a preemptive strike.”
Yeah, because what could possibly go wrong with using nuclear weapons, especially that close to China?
When Bolling’s co-hosts disagreed with him, he then commented:
“You wait until a missile is on its way to Los Angeles and hope the missile interceptor works? And if it doesn’t, you sacrifice Los Angeles? You say, ‘We waited. We shouldn’t have waited.’
“What are they going to do? Fight back?”
As another part of his unhinged strategy, Bolling also recommended that the South Koreans build a “freaking wall” between them and North Korea, forcing China to get more involved in the situation because they fear masses of North Korean citizens swarming into mainland China in the case of a military confrontation:
“No one else is going to help them out. That may change their mind a little.”
Sure, the answer to every apparently intractable situation is to fire off a few nuclear missiles. This is the same kind of thinking that has us mired in endless occupations in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Why not go ahead invade Iran and Syria, too? Then, as we send thousands of American troops to their deaths, we can also get a nuclear conflict going in Asia. What a great idea!
Something tells me Eric Bolling won’t be getting a call from the Secretary of Defense anytime soon seeking his advice on military matters.
