" Let's get our troops out of the South and let the local powers handle the fruitcakes. By the time NK can reach us with missiles we will be able to shoot them down. Time to let the heavy hitters over there clean up their own neighborhood. China wants to be taken seriously as a global player? Let's give them the chance to show what they would do about a lunatic with nukes on their border."

Unfortunately, there is a flaw with the otherwise appealing isolationist approach - PROLIFERATION. NK will sell anything to anybody. They are desperate for cash. I am skeptical an embargo would be effective. Barring an unlikely diplomatic breakthrough (NK capitulation) only military options remain.

I think a move to remove troops from SK is a wise move. It will force the brats in SK to put up or shut up. They need to pull the weight of their own national defence.

It may force them to deal realistically with the North, and crack down on this Northern instigated Anti-Americanism.
