Military action against North Korea is not an easy question to answer. If the blow is light, Pyongyang's military power would remain intact, and South Koreans could potentially face a revenge attack of some kind. One can only hope that Washington reaches out to Seoul for a second opinion. If the blow is heavy, the Chinese people will not allow their government to remain passive when the armies of the US and South Korea start a war and try to take down the Pyongyang regime. The Chinese will not let something like that happen, especially on the same land where the Chinese Volunteer Army once fought in the early 1950s. It is a land covered with the blood of Chinese soldiers who bravely fought in the early 1950s. Furthermore, if Pyongyang were to be taken by the allied armies of the US and South Korea, it would dramatically change the geopolitical situation in the Korean Peninsula.

It’ just not time yet.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well it better be time soon because it looks like President Trump is ready, willing, and able to crush the NORKS.
Can’t a deal just be cut with China if after Kim’s regime Falls and the koreas are eventually United that there will be no American or South Korean military installations in what was North Korea.
Key word: start
That’s a wide open door. But considering how China’s labor camps rival those of NPK, I can see how they wouldn’t want to sign onto pre-emptive military intervention, because that would put their own practices under the footlights.
Arrived early November,1952. I had points to come home in October. But when the war ended in August, 1953, some officers were asked to stay on for 60 days more to train replacements. There was the promise of changing from reserve (OCS) to regular which interested me at the time, but changed my mind later.
“Can’t be more clear. “
It’s very vague actually.
If they wanted to make things crystal clear they would say that an attack on NK is an attack on China.
But this “we won’t remain passive” BS could mean anything. It shows that they are not fully committed to NK. If you ask me I think they just blinked. Airstrikes against NK should start immediately.
Quick decapitation is the only remaining unilateral action.
China is saying they will not allow the US Army (and by extension the ROK Army) to invade North Korea. And I’m pretty sure that was never in the US playbook to begin with.
But that does not mean that China will attack the US if we decide to bomb North Korea into a past century. They would be fools to even have such thoughts.
China has about 300 nuclear warheads. We have about 6000, with 1550 ready for immediate, and I mean immediate, employment.
This article is the refined version of NORK bluster and should be ignored.
Completely ignored.
“Technically, a state of war still exists between the UN and North Korea”
Technically, not since 1951.
“Technically, a state of war still exists between the UN and North Korea”
Technically, not since 1951.
“One can only hope that Washington reaches out to Seoul for a second opinion.”
The dimwit Chinese don’t seem to realize the issue is not the safety of South Korea.
The issue is the safety of the US and Japan.
And, yes, we will start a nuclear war over our own safety. After all, we’ve done it before.
If there was a nuclear armed dictatorship openly threatening to annihilate China how would China respond?
I have a friend who was a Marine clerk typist in Nam. He said there are plans and logistics to invade every country.
When Albright gave the Norks nuclear tech in the mid nineties, I figured it had to be part of an evil plan, which seems to be blossoming now.
I have the opinion that every war since the sinking of the Maine has been stratigiezed. Rothschild’s and all that.
“Quick decapitation is the only remaining unilateral action.”
Quick decapitation might lead to kamikaze nuclear attacks on everybody they can hit.
It’s very common in Asian cultures to commit suicide when the master is killed.
Aren't things already at that level?
Better now than when they have 100 nukes they can deliver on US soil.
In fact there is no better time than now. Each and every day that goes by increases the risk and the destruction that will ensue.
Now. Not tomorrow.
“The issue is the safety of the US and Japan.”
Have to wonder about China wanting to protect Japan, as it’s not been that many years since Japan committed atrocities in that country. The US may forgive and forget, but China?
I don’t really care what the Chicomms think. We have to do what is in our interest, not theirs.
Just bomb the **** out of them.
Trump won’t pull the rug out from under his generals like Truman.
Tell the Chinese they can have everything above the 38th parallel after we turn it into a parking lot if they turn it into a giant Harbor Freight and sell us hammers, Migs and air compressors for cost-plus.
The Chinese aren’t stupid enough to threaten global thermonuclear war every Friday like fat boy.
Series. Put the blocks to that little ****.
It does make a person wonder if China allowed the N. Korea thing to fester on purpose. But regardless how it happened the world has to deal with it. So far China is not willing to do anything to their communist comrades. Which means Trump will have to make the hard decision and do a preemptive strike to destroy their offensive capabilities. The clock is ticking.
I agree. It appears to me that the global leaders have already decided that north Korea’s time has come to an end and they must be taken out before it is too late. The US has kicked the can down the road for too many decades and allowed this to fester and get worse. It must be dealt with now, in the next few weeks or many cities could eventually get nuked around the world by an insane dictator.
