Re: North Korea
North Korea is not a passive nation it has threatened every country near it bar Russia and China and has continued to develop it's ballistic missile program. China could have shut all this down long before now and we wouldn't be where we are now but they couldn't be bothered and just like the west underestimated NK. KJU doesn't care about the people of NK in the slightest he has continued the policies that do nothing but create hardship for his people enforced military service and a reliance on food imports to maintain a basic diet.
Both Russia and China are committing military forces to their respective borders with NK and it isn't to support NK as neither of them are prepared to take the losses both economically or in personnel that helping to defend NK would involve. Everyone ignored NK writing them off as that little state that's locked itself away from the world and never expecting them to be any real threat and even when they started down this road of missile development they were not taken seriously.
I would still put my money on surgical ground attacks to remove the threat rather then a more intense approach but i guess we will find out soon.
