      china. china sittin on top of them is the huge elephant in the room no one really wants to mention whenever NK is brought up.

      we cant do shit without china saying ‘ok’. or really, china saying ‘we’ll take care of it’ which they then never do.

      Because they have nuclear weapons. Imagine the disaster of the Vietnam war, but with a couple of USA cities obliterated by nuclear warheads.

      My post comment said “NK has been impotently posturing for damn near a century why are we still entertaining them?” and it does not violate rule 1 despite what the admins say.

        I disagree with your comment but I agree that it doesn’t break the rules. @mods let us have a discussion with people of different opinions.

        In any case, it was the Western world and the US that has been posturing. They hold north Koreans under brutal suffocating sanctions. North Korea resisting this must not be condemned.
