I agree and IF China were to address NK it would be far less costly to us then if we had to go to war with NK. I just don't think China will do enough. I don't see that happening. I would love to be proven wrong.
North Korea has changed quite a bit from Kim Jong Il to Kim Jong Un. With the former, people starved but enforcement, etc., was more lax. With the latter, people don’t starve, but the enforcement is quite cruel. Something tells me that the upper echelon is not as happy with Kim Jong Un. All it takes is one bullet.
” I just don’t think China will do enough. I don’t see that happening. “
worth a try, though. easy enough to tell if china isn’t living up to their end of things, and proceed with a different deal or no deal at all.
