The key players in the North Korean crisis are the guys with the funny hats and the medals dangling from their chests that are always surrounding Kim. They and their families have wealth , status and privileged. They know better than anyone that if the fat , little lunatic Kim ever gave an order to start a war or launch a nuclear missile, it would all end. They would kill Kim and then cut a deal for themselves. Kim knows that and will only go so far. Best policy is to ignore North Korea and ignore its ear piercing shrieks and threats as it collapses economically.
I disagree. They need to be disarmed of their nuclear weapons.
