Another straw?

Just as the poor camel's back is breaking under the load of Iraq and Afghanistan, North Korea seems hell-bent on... well, something...

In addition to current operations, the U.S. is 'obligated' to fight if North Korea attacks the South, or if China attacks Taiwan, or if Russia attacks any of a whole rogue's gallery of European nations, most of whom are smart enough not to try to police the whole world.

Does anybody else think this is sustainable? Thought not. We've handed out security guarantees based on belief we're Number One. As they'd have said in Top Gun, "Your ego's writing checks your body can't cash." One of these days, somebody's going to call the bluff...
