Facing North Korea with ‘anger’ ?

The last time ‘anger’ was used to flatten Pyongyang it led to an authoritarian regime being born.

Does Takuya wish for a nuclear war?

I think they were pretty messed up before that. Also said flattening allowed Seoul to be returned to SK.

Facing North Korea with ‘anger’ ?

The last time ‘anger’ was used to flatten Pyongyang it led to an authoritarian regime being born.

Fact check:

The North Korean authoritarian regime under Kim Il Sung was born when he came to power on September 9, 1948. Pyongyang was not bombed until North Korea invaded South Korea unprovoked and started the Korean War in June 25, 1950. Cart before the horse.

While the personal frustration is absolutely understandable, no amount of "anger" is going to resolve this issue. Without any degree of cooperation from North Korea, which to date has been not forthcoming, yelling at the J-govt to "do something" is not constructive. The threat of war, possibly nuclear, that North Korea poses to South Korea, Japan and the US especially now with overt Russian and Chinese backing makes North Korea a highly delicate issue. One which unfortunately for the families of the abductees, exceeds the matters of unresolved abductees from many decades ago in importance and urgency.

Sadly the father died before seeing any resolution followed by the mom. Now the son is left to fight a battle that will only stand the test of time, and that is when NK becomes overthrown by its people or war.
