In addition to this do you think the US would need to change the way it handles verbal threats of attacks from foreign enemies going forward that abondons the peaceful use of sanctions? In other words would all bets be off for you in the aftermath of a North Korean attack?
I'd consider a failure of every administration over the last 20 years or so. I pointed out in another thread that while we were explaining it away as just a crazy guy looking for attention, North Korea is now a year away from actually being able to do what they have been threatening for years. At some point we will need to handle this. We don't need China's help, but we need their assurance they will stay out of it. If China is out Russia won't come in either, but if China isn't out then Russia will pile on and we will have an issue. At this point all our diplomatic efforts should be put into getting China to commit to staying on the sidelines.
