“A unified Korea under the protection of the west is an unacceptable result for China. They will intervene to prevent that under any circumstances.”
If the US goes big in Norklandia, China will do precisely nothing.
Zip. Nada.
The US has 1,500 deployed nukes on a hair trigger. And more than 7,000 in our arsenal.
China has less than 300. Total.
And they are no challenge to our conventional Navy and Air Force either.
Homework.
[Where would Iran get that kind of money? oh wait...]You could put the pictures of 99 US Senators there too...including Ted Cruz.
More diplomacy will only make matters worse, says Amb. BoltonIt wasn't long ago, on Lou Dobbs' show, that he was calling for MORE DIPLOMACY.
BTW, where is Lou Dobbs? Did he get canned for supporting Trump by the anti-Trump Faux news too?

Homework you say, you mean like “History”? Like 1950 when we reached the Yalu river and 400,000 Chinese poured over the border to push us back? Who had Nukes then? That’s right, the US, ALL of them.
Didn’t stop them then, won’t stop them now. Trump will NOT risk an all out world war over the Norms.
I didn’t know he was missing. I like Dobbs.
bolton is a failure. He is a staunch neo-con deep stater resonsible for ‘squandering’ ( in DJT words ) $6 trillion taxpayer dollars and destroying hundreds of thousands of American lives.
Warfighting is very, very different today than in 1950.
Yep - good point.
Bolton is right — we’re kicking the can down the road.
Release the Hounds of War. The days for talk are done. We are not ready—but strike now before the H-Bomb takes out the American Power grid and leaves us—a second world state. North Korea could win this war if we don’t watch out. The H-Bomb would make them able to use Nuclear Blackmail on us—if we had Hillary in office she would be pulling out of Korea and Japan and letting Kim (really China) rule the east.

I’m aware of modern warfare.
he’ll be a great intermediate governor of NK till the south takes over.
Then you understand the Chinese could not move a 400,000 (my dad said one million) man army without air dominance.
Trucks, armor, fuel, food...the movement of any of these requires control of the air.
And China can not achieve that against US air assets.
“...if we had Hillary in office she would be pulling out of Korea and Japan and letting Kim (really China) rule the east.”
Funny you say that. I was talking to someone the other night, and that was his explanation for Kim’s behavior - intimidate America enough so that we walk away from South Korea and leave it for North Korea to invade. With Hillary, or some Jeb! type they might have gotten away with it. I tend to believe Trump would NEVER do that.
