North Korea has destroyed a South Korean warship and now killed two South Korean marines. And the united states is unable to offer a meaningful response. The saber rattling through military exercises is an attempt to save face. If they really wanted war, they would attempt an eye for an eye. Meaning they would also destroy a North Korean warship and kill two North Korean marines. But such an act would amount to a war.
If the united states wanted an excuse for a war, killing 45 sailors and 2 marines is much better than any excuse formed during the gulf of Tonkin. If the us thinks it can win a war here, why not strike when the iron is hot? You going to wait a year after they sink the maine or the lusitania? If it is not going to happen now, it is not going to happen ever.
North Korea executes activities that would amount to a war, but the united states is unable to respond using activities that would amount to a war. The most it can do is military exercises in order to give a show a force, as opposed to doing anything with real substance.
