[QUOTE="Frederick, post: 3035618, member: 17825"] The only thing this 'economic war' will accomplish is to further the suffering of the people of North Korea. His people will eat grass and tree bark. Kim Jong Fatass and his generals will feast everyday. the regime will scrape by from the scraps the Chinese and Russians throw at them to keep their heads above water. The Chinese and Russians have no intention of letting the Regime crumble. Though they might fudge around the edges to appease the Trump Administration. Kim Jong Fatass sees America as an existential threat. He won't stop pursuing nuclear weapons because he sees it as the only long-term guarantee of the survival of his regime. the threats of President Trump probably only confirm in that mind of his and his cabal of the correctness of this course of action. Therefore, he will continue the research and production of nuclear weapons. I have read that some of their progress has been as a result of Ukrainian(read: Russian) and Chinese missile technology. It's plausible in my mind that they're using North Korea as a proxy to distract America from Russia and China's adventures elsewhere. There are reports of Russian weapons showing up in the hands of militants in Afghanistan, for example. The only way i see North Korea being stopped from obtaining sufficient intercontinental nuclear strike capability is through pre-emptive war. I think we're just going to have to get used to the threats of the North Koreans and accept on some level their acquisition of nuclear weapons capable of devastating the motherland. A war with North Korea would be devastating, tens of thousands of South Korean civilians and thousands of allied soldiers would be killed potentially in such a conflict. Of course it is a fools errand to try to state with any certainty the course of such a conflict, but if China gets involved...you're not even playing the same game anymore. We may be the world's foremost superpower, but it would be foolish to underestimate China. We did that in the last Korean War and we paid dearly. [/QUOTE]
