So the best thing we can do there is to continue to prop up China's
economy by importing damned near everything we use in this country and
export our best jobs to China. Then China can have the chops and
responsibility to deal with NK and we're starting to look like Ireland
mid-1970s. No jobs but plenty of bars!

Grrrr.

Someone said we don't have a dog in this fight. Not sure I entirely
agree with that. We could sure train a dog though. Is it time to take
the shackles off of Japan as a balancing point in the region?

When China decides that the monster has gotten too far out of hand, and
is a threat to China, North Korea will be squashed like a bug. The
Chinese could roll through North Korea in less than a week, even if
North Korea put up a fight.

The only other solution is if North Korea collapses like East Germany
did, but with China providing aid, that won't happen until China cuts
them off.
