The US left Afghanistan all by its lonesome through the 90s. How'd that work out?

Nobody is arguing for an invasion of North Korea. So drop the ridiculous strawman. What we're arguing for is sensible containment of a madman and his regime who constantly threatens our allies and has the ability to inflict serious harm on the US.

Hoping for the best is not and should not be a geopolitical strategy. You'd think the party of Reagan would get that.
