China is backing them up and not only that they are now have nuclear arms so it could result in many casualties, civilian and military.

Not really any advantage to the world besides having a pat on the back. Plus, China. China would be against it.

Uneducated person here; why is China against it?

Communist countries stick together.

Ah tru, there is that... still, China is not in the least concerned about the impact that could have on their trade connections abroad?

Countries usually have smaller countries to act as proxy assholes. It has advantages beyond economics.

As I recall, China has made a statement that if NK strikes first they won't honor their treaty.
Badabing1967
I guess when the "great nk leader" starts to become really dangerous to the outside, china will make nk a part of china within a few days.
eetsumkaus
lol, and take on all that mass? no thanks. They'd probably just make up some excuse to have the West invade and dump NK off to them
Badabing1967
The West would never invade NK - because of China. And China can't just say "West - go get him". Maybe the UN, but only with CNs involvement
rader1
What do you do? Go to war? When you do that all of the civi casualties become "your" fault and the world blames you for meddling. See iraq.
ecodude
There is a pretty big difference between nk and iraq, or any of the Middle Easter countries we've fucked with. NK is essentially a slave
ecodude
farm that has way too much ambition and potentially has nuclear capabilities. Not saying war would benefit anyone, but we really should work

to get China to stop protecting and aiding them.

And Iraq wasn't? Do you realize that Hussein personally ordered the deaths of over 50,000 men, woman and children?
fuwad84
And how many men, women, and children deaths have American politicians and generals ordered? NK is bad, but US isn't far away either.
rader1
The US certainly doesn't have clean hands. Noone does. Based on all available info the US is a "better" country that NK is or Iraq was.

Sick of, sure. But it's still a long way from China withdrawing its constant protection of them.

To small, not importent enough - nothing to win, to expensive to rebuild - and china! Just not worth to risk anything for NK

Youre saying this in the most aggravating way possible, amd probably on purpose. But i cant downvote since its still true.

Aggravating on purpose? I mean, I fully want the NK regime to crumble but it's fully accurate. It's pretty much the only way to say it.
