North Korea is a threat only when we have Democrat control of the White Hut. Once back in the Oval Office, a Republican President can and has stuffed China’s attack Yorkie back into its pen.
North Korea could not prevail more than a very short period in any offensive they may take against South Korea and the US. Kim Jong-Un is the kid who came to school with a Colt .45 pistol with one cartridge in the chamber, and no magazine.
I guess shaking down the other kids in school for their lunch money wasn’t proving sufficiently effective.
The Chinese could end this in ten minutes and one phone call. But why should they? The West is economically on the ropes, and with just a few more body blows, China becomes the successor state to the position the United States seems so willing to relinquish.

Yes indeed..the Chinese are playing this with much more to win or loose than the US...and they are playing it more than just careful. The “price” will be very high for them to hand over Kim Un’s dynasty and their buffer zone. But it is doable if the “Price” is right.
