With all due respect, I entirely disagree about the impact of the Chinese. Kim serves at China's pleasure. Don't ever doubt that. If they weren't in control of Kim they NEVER would have let him have nukes. Never. North Korea and China are one and the same, and when China tires of him he is done, without question. By telling China that we see it exactly that way, and that we will retaliate against THEM if they don't control their little pit bull, we reestablish MAD - with China calling the shots for Asia and the Korean Peninsula. If we make this policy absolute clear to China, I absolutely guarantee they will defang Kim.

as long as he can launch I don’t trust it. You can’t control a maniac you have to kill him China may be logical. he is not.
