Ambassador Nikki Haley used the threat of a U.S. invasion of North Korea to secure a new round of sanctions against the regime last year, according to a new report.
Harpers Magazine reported that Haley raised the possibility of a U.S. invasion by telling a Chinese diplomat, My boss is kind of unpredictable, and I dont know what hell do."
Haley recalled making those comments during remarks at a small gathering of people at the Council for National Policy, and as part of her effort to discourage China from vetoing additional oil sanctions on North Korea last September, following the regimes detonation of a nuclear bomb. Her remarks shed light on how the prospect of a U.S. strike on the Korean Peninsula helped broker a compromise between Haleys initial call for a total oil embargo of the regime and the more modest cut the Security Council eventually passed.

North Korea would fall much faster than Iraq. The real problem would be the apocalyptic humanitarian crisis and colossal burden of post invasion tasks which would make Iraq look like community days.
If NK were to suddenly implode through a shaky coup (but with Young Fat on display a la Ceausescu), the PLA would push 10 divisions over the border and fling their shitty Navy into SK waters.
The humanitarian crisis would be how much of the border and Seoul could be protected from rogue NK incursions ie they steal everything until caught in the headlights and then claim asylum.
yep.
