So I see you are supporting the USA and South Korea. Why ? Who needs to win here is North Korea. Someone need to destroy the United States at some moment or another, so better early than late. And if South Korea perish too, that will not be a big casualty...

Sadly you don't seem to be a supporter of pax americana and don't recognize the manifest destiny of the usa? During pax americana the world has never been more prosperous and peaceful. And the manifest destiny of the usa make it through it's legislative framework a shining light in a world of full of darkness were intergenerational warlords keep harvesting their people while living themselves in the most oppulent way ever concieveable.

Non capitalist society have no chance against a capitalist country in war, a against the world reserve currency, they are toasted before it begins. It's a worldwide supply chain vs a closed country. The real question excluding the loss of all people in the targeted country is how to minize the ecological impact on a global scale of such an annihilation.

But what did DPRK do wrong?

1. Producing and selling crystal meth to china (usa were accused)
2. Developping a solid full wmd program
3. Launching missiles in direction of japan
4. Selling and improving weapons to iran, hezbollas and co

I am not sure but it seems to b a violation of the spirit of the Junho... looking after $ by selling war... and it's taking market share from the us mic.

Good question.

I would do absolutely nothing militarily. The nuclear thing is purely to shore up their own regime at home and yap for more respect elsewhere.

China is the key. I can see why the China of the 1950s didn't want a capitalist Korea at their doorstep, the China of the 2010s/20s is a very different prospect.

If everyone just concentrates on containment then eventually the DPRK will become even more of an embarrassment to China than it is already is. Once their support goes then so does the regime.

Problem is that what could china do that the us couldn't? DPRK could fight from the southern border against china invading too... so goes the nuke and co. Usa can still do it better (and it's a service provided by the currency reserve status).

Could dprk open up more and let the people there learn from the rest of the world? I don't think that the kim priests would allow such a thing to happen.

Then if you think about it, in 1990 a war against dprk would have left more people there alive, less in 2000 even less in 2010 and the longer it goes the less it will rest. The good news it can't be a genocide since south korea...

Anyway don't forget it's just keyboard warrioring and armchair generalling.

Soon they will have emp ready earth orbiters...

And finally is there a miss kim? Or the rumors of harems are true?
