You bring up a very good point, and one I share. With a lot of talk about taking out DPRK reactors and bombing Pyongyang back to the stone-age, I'm reading little consideration toward the China factor in all of these plans.

Also- the problem with a full naval blockade is that it is an act of war, and since we're dealing under the U.N. mothership /s currently on this issue, I believe the military option text references were negotiated away to placate China and Russia over the weekend? Test #2 could change the sanctions- who knows at this point.

And thumbing your nose in the wrong direction is an act of war. Worry, worry worry. The problem with "the problem with" is that it is a loser's expression when spoken or when listened to.
