How about this. NK does what it is showing, engaging US and SK, then the rogues, China, Russia, and Iran see the opening and go for their strategic targets; Taiwan, Israel. Could it blow that wide open??

I don't think so. The typical person on the street of Beijing has no love for NK. They fear the refugee hordes. The government itself is riding a razor blade of a credit bubble. They don't want or need this "distraction" at this time. This is spinning out of control of everyone.

JMHOYMMV.

China would take Japan and Taiwan. North Korea gets South Korea. Russia gets Syria. Iran gets Iraq. And the King of Saudi Arabia will want the Golden Necklace back that he had given to Obama. So no oil for Europe or the US. Sometimes you is on the losing side. Typically the reason you lost is that your side had the dumbest leadership, but sometimes your side just deserves to lose.

So the Norks are holding joint military exercises with themselves. Almost like college football spring games.
