It could well be a defining moment of Obama’s presidency, depending on far he is willing to go. Cuba’s missles were a direct threat to the US and were partially the result of the Bay of Pigs fiasco. JFK’s response to that crisis not only successfully resolved the issue but served to boost our cred in most places around the world. DROK doesn’t pose a direct threat to the US so any response from Obama will have to couched within the limited of our mutual support treaties with South Korea. In any event, it is a frightening scenario.
