China's the real issue. Until there's some way to cockblock China so they can't do anything underhanded while we handle bidness, we can't do a whole lot about the Norks until they do something so jawdroppingly stupid, there'd be nothing to do but act.
Fuck China. Without the US buying their shit, their economy would fold in under 6 months. The EU is in serious financial trouble and couldn't possibly pick up all the "mindless buying" that would be required for China to stay afloat if the US flipped China the bird.
werd. its pathetic. SK would have been better playing it off as an accident than doing this. now they look like spineless cowards. NK can get away with anything.
