so you’re good with the Norks having and routinely launching ballistic missiles?

The sad thing is that if we're forced to turn NK into a parking lot many,many innocent people are gonna die.If I was an ordinary North Korean,South Korean or Japanese I'd be very,very worried right now.Of course Chinese people could be effected too but it's *their* government that's to blame so no sympathy for them.

“NeoCon fake news”
You may be right, but at this point in history who knows who is telling the truth? There are facts, however. These include the role of the Clinton-Albright ‘kick the can down the road’ appeasement ‘deal’ that helped facilitate the North Koreans getting nukes in the first place.

The only words they utter that I generally trust are “We’ll be back after the break”.

I agree - the military-industry complex is licking their chops for another war to make that $$$$ ... but unlike the weak Middle East, NK is another animal altogether, could lead to major war in asia

The deep state does love war, but I’m not sure their preferred war would be with NK. Unfortunately that regime has been ignored for too long. For years I’ve heard the “experts” say NK just likes to provoke to get attention and financial aid. Now look at the damage they are capable of.
I hope we don’t use the same strategy with Iran.

That’s a weird looking thing

A war with NK would not be very long but it be very bloody and destructive and the outcome would not be in doubt.

They are doing everything except a nuclear test. Kim Jong-un probably figure that time is on their side if they keep up their pace.

Their “provoke to get attention and financial aid” strategy seems to be working in a somewhat beneficial fashion with Moscow becoming even more supportive as Putin likes to see us on edge. I think that the quick and unexpected progress they’ve recently demonstrated comes at least in part from Russia. The Chinese are still supportive in trade and protection but I can see Putin being interested in a North Korean offensive strike so long as he can maintain plausible deniability. It would certainly divert the attention of the world from the Ukraine and such.

At the least, China provides critical components and specialized equipment for missile and nuclear weapon's manufacturing. As for missile R&D, both China and Russia are suspects. Some expert argue that the closest model to N. Korea's submarine launched missile is an old Chinese rocket. Since Chinese rocket is based on Soviet design, you could also argue that Russia is a source.
Putin wants to have a leverage on the cheap, jumping into the fray late in the game. Stalin reportedly saw the value of creating conflict in Korean Peninsula as a way of diverting attention from Europe, where his plan of further expanding Soviet takeover met resistance from U.S..
It remains to be seen if Russia is doing it purely on its own or in tandem with China.
