" I say Seoul gets leveled first, after we respond with harsh diplomatic letters."

There's almost 11 million people in Seoul. If I lived in Seoul...I'd have already left for points south. Maybe take two back-to-back around the world tours on a slow boat.

The DPRK has notified China and Japan that any enforcement of the UN sanctions will result in hostile action on their (DPRK) part. This puts the US and Japan in an untenable position. If there is even so much as an interdiction, they will attack the south (Seoul). So the compassion of peaceful nations is used for nuclear and economic negotiation, with a city of ten million people as the bargaining chip. Not to mention the global economic disruption that would result from evacuating from the 38th several clicks south. This is a lose-lose scenario for the US, Japan, and ROK. DPRK does not have much more to lose.
