Lets be 100% honest here. The only reason fat boy is still leading his country is he has China watching his back. China is using NK as a buffer and bargaining chip against the rest of the world. Its all well and good if he's saber rattling and is armed with 1950's era nuclear bombs. There is no real threat outside of South Korea so while we play the negotiating game nobody really cares. All the sudden asshole decides he wants ICBM's and more powerful nuclear weapons capable of hitting the continental United States, Russia, and Europe its game on. China may block UN moves but should NATO decide to do something and Russia gets on board as a coalition partner highly doubt China is going to get in the way. Remember, China's technology while better than it has been is light years behind that of Russia and the United States. Fat boy would be wise to remember that as well.
just another out of touch ignorant poster on NK sadly...
China is but one reason, it's far from the only reason, at all.
ICBM's and other long range nuclear weapons aren't the threat, never have been, ever.
Nukes are one thing, but their soviet era arsenal of missiles pointed directly at Seoull is the real issue, it has been the cause of the mexican standoff since they were first installed. We can likely intercept any single longrange missile shot by Kim, we can't intercept 10,000 missiles launched directly at Seoull simultaneously. Sk knows this, japan knows this, china knows this, Trump and his regime know this, and Kim sure as hell knows this.
You guys get so caught up on nukes that are meant to be a distraction, if Trump takes the bait and goes in to "stop nukes" it will be one of the messiest military engagements of all time, with or without China helping the USA. There are missiles pointed in all directions and they have a massive standing army that has been told we're coming to genocide them. If Trump invades hundreds of thousands of Koreans will die on both sides of the border(and that's an optimistic number), it will be the worst planned military excursion that we've ever seen. The bad PR will make Iraq-Afghanistan look like child's play.
Read a god damn book, you're not usually this ill informed. i'd suggest Michael Malice's book on the subject or one of his many hour plus long lectures.
