It’s 1950 all over again.
Yeah, this is going to turn out well.
Whose side is China on in this mess?
China will back North Korea if “push comes to shove.” I fear a great disaster on that peninsula.
I’m noticing headlines are starting to look eerily like headlines just before Hitler bombed Poland on Sept 1st, 1939.
The chicoms will depose the chiapet. The chicoms will heap the burden of NK on SK. SK will remain loyal to the USA, but will become the chicoms’ biggest trading partner. The chicoms are not stupid. We, lead by our small minded president, are stupid.
Obama is on Chinas side so this will only result in a attack on SK right....anyone here enlighten me please.
Just drop a crate of MRE’s on the highest mountain in the region, and all the norks will be climbing for their life. Won’t have time for war nonsense for at least a month.
Is the status quo on the Korean Peninsula sustainable for now?
When the answer becomes “no” decide if it is better to make the first move or wait.
Deploy your assets accordingly.

China has placed military forces on heightened alert in the northeastern part of the country as tensions mount on the Korean peninsula following recent threats by Pyongyang to attack, U.S. officials said.
Reports from the region reveal the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) recently increased its military posture in response to the heightened tensions, specifically North Korea’s declaration of a “state of war” and threats to conduct missile attacks against the United States and South Korea.
According to the officials, the PLA has stepped up military mobilization in the border region with North Korea since mid-March, including troop movements and warplane activity.

Any enemy of the USA is likely plotting against us as we type. Not since Carter have we been so vulnerable to those who wish us harm.
OOPS
The article by Gertz is just excerpted on the link.
duh...
North Korea is one of the Soviet Union's old orphan dogs - though China has some relationship and influence over them, they know well enough that if young Kim slips his leash he has to be euthanized. He is too dangerous to use as a diplomatic weapon against Japan and the West.
This is exactly the kind of thing many conservatives predicted would happen when Obama was implausibly re-elected. The many enemies of the U.S. realize that Obama is tacitly on their side. They can see that he too hates America’s power and influence and is eager to see it severely diminished. China and it’s impoverished client, North Korea, are happy to oblige. Bad things are about to happen to South Korea and, by association, the U.S.A. Obama will allow it to happen, pretend he’s royally P.O.ed - and do nothing of substance to prevent it. The result will be a further diminished America, pushed around by a pipsqueak dictator with a bad haircut and out-maneuvered by communist China’s very serious, well-groomed dictators who know an opportunity when they see it.
Fecal matter on a collision course with the oscillating rotatory device.
Well it is, after all, only an armistice.
Kinda like how the Berlin Crisis was a distraction meant to keep America's eyes busy.
North Korea and Iran are colluding together to do what they can to divide America's attention.
Great time, too, now that we no longer can fight two simultaneous wars on two fronts. Then we went to a 1 1/2 front war, now we're down to Obama offering to personally meet and overwhelm with his (lack of) personal charisma.
This world is doomed. Fortunately, we know how it all turns out, in the end.
