Anyone else notice after Dennis Rodman left NK that now NK wants a war with us? I don't think it's a coincidence. :lol:

no no no. i dont think you understand. China IS NK's ally. even though China is telling NK to back down they will have there back if they act anyways. similar to our (americas) relationship with israel

Doubt it. China heavily relies on the US far more than people know. They need us for their economy. People often think US needs them but they need us just as much. China is not about to throw shit all over their biggest source of income


Your right to a degree they do both need each other but China and North Korea also need each other as well. They trade a fair bit between them. Right now China is tuck in the middle and all they can do is condemn. It wasn't long ago China cut off their oil supply line so I wonder if we'll see a repeat of that.

China seem far smarter than to encourage/allow any sort of war where their own major involvement will happen, IMO. They're doing well right now, and wouldn't want that put at risk. Wonder if this kid is stupid enough to threaten China? Doubt that either and hope not...

China will be in the middle asking them nicely to stop. I assume they will have their own army on their border to stop anyone entering or maybe even setup safety zones but that's all they'll do. They know the whole world is watching them and wouldn't be stupid enough to defend North Korea in war. Maybe in the days of Mao Zedong but not today.

Indeed. I could probably even see it that if NK did do something really stupid, China would have boots on NK soil before NATO have even decided what time they were all gonna have their meeting at, taking control within a few days and standing it all down. Really hope it doesn't come to anything like I'm prone to imagining when I get bored, such as the above. ;-)

All out war would have it's pros and cons. Cons would obviously be death and destruction while pros would be nuclear disbarment and to help their people who are the real victims in all of this. The famine situation there is apparently really bad.

There is another problem though that comes to mind and that is gaining the trust of the public after the war. They've been heavily brainwashed. Some of the videos on Youtube show people crying about their Dear Leader's death and you don't know if it's down to brainwashing or someone behind the camera has a gun to their head. Opening them up to life in the real world could be a challenge.

Here's an example.

China is not under the US's thumb. If push came to shove, China could potentially call in all its loans to America, totally crashing the economy. Not that China particularly want to to do that, since they profit from it.


Bottom line is, what I assume China really wants at the moment, more than anything else, is stability in the region.
