The Conservative wrote: What people are missing I think is that if the US does do this, we probably would be looking at increased tensions possibly short terms...
To say the least, inciting a war on the Korean Peninsula, with a now strategic nuclear armed China, and Russia right there as well, would be courting the Event Horizon, but I'm not going to start digging a bomb shelter, because I don't for a second buy that the US is actually going to go kinetic here, even if the NK's have an ICBM or a few, the US is not going to upset the apple cart, although, it's the green light that the Missile Defense Agency needs, to go off the deep end with Mid Course Intercept from Fairbanks Alaska, which is a major MIC entrenched interest already, so as far as the MIC is concerned, Fat Boy Kim is actually doing them a big solid here.

DPRK ICBMs? LockMart shareholders approve. Getting a chubb dog just thinking about it actually, cha-ching.

China gives secrete green light to the Donald to take out Kin and collapse the oligarchs, then China comes in to "rescue" / occupy the North....Both us and China get what they want.

The Chinese don't want that, they wouldn't do it, the Koreans wouldn't accept it anyways, the North Koreans would insurge against the Chinese once they were the "occupiers" and the Chinese know it, while China would also then be back into a war with South Korea, this is a war, a frozen conflict, which the Chinese withdrew their troops from in 1958, the Chinese would not want to re-invade and then occupy North Korea, Pottery Barn Rule, they don't want to break it, because then they've bought it, and they want no part of that.

China would be making the same mistake that America made in Vietnam, trying to prop up the dyfunctional half of a partitioned country after creating a power vacuum therein, and the Chinese ain't that dumb.

BTW Smitty - China is presently no match for the US...sure they have Nukes...and we may loose our cities....but they would no longer exist....not that I would want to live in post WIII North America....but I don't think the Chinese are willing to go to the mat for the DPRK.... not if self preservation is their goal....

Luckily, we won't have to worry about it, because Trump is full of shit. Trump's not going to war with China, and he's not going to war with the DPRK neither, anywhere where there would be a real war, Trump would back down in a heartbeat, Trump is only about phony war.

I don't worry about guy's like Trump, Trump is an opportunist, he's just gonna do phony war, wag the dog, and low intensity counter-terrorism against pygmies, with any sort of real confrontation with an opponent who could wipe both Trump and the rest of America off the face of the earth, Trump would pull the chicken switch.

He's not Nuclear Hitler, he never was Nuclear Hitler, he's not even Nuclear Trump.
