I tend to think that NK is getting more and more belligerent in a desperate way to try and counter tightening sanctions from China. Whether or not it bothers China in the slightest remains to be seen.

North Korea being a legit regional nuclear power does not bode well for Chinese control.

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

any sort of economic activity it has relies completely on china though. Tough to know, its a degenerating situation because Un is a complete lunatic.

Assuming a supreme court that wasn't fully of complete fucks, is it still a bill of attainder if you tailor it to attack a single specific entity, without specifically naming it?

republicans suddenly started stonewalling hard when the democrats brought that up, so im guessing that's what they're counting on

I should really make a thread about this but there's a good chance that the geopolitical situation around Korea is about to change.

The Constitutional Court of Korea is ruling tomorrow on whether Park Geun-hye will be impeached and I have to imagine they'll let it happen. That would cause snap elections, which Moon Jae-in is the favorite to win right now. He's suggested a return to the Sunshine Policy where the North and South work towards an agreement, which would remain to be seen how it'd work with the US making noise but who knows.

That's true, but that hasn't stopped them so far. If NK has real nuclear capability then Japan and South Korea, some of the most technologically advanced nations on the planet, will quickly have their own hidden nuclear programs complete. They have every capability to build a working bomb on a first run.

it would actually work nicely with trump's isolationist line of our allies paying for their own defense if the north and south try and thaw relations.

China wouldn't think twice if NK threatens to cause some kind of real instability in the region, they'd just nuke them immediately and worry about it later.

Any kind of social, economic or military instability in China results in A LOT of death. I can understand them not wanting that.

and as bad as it wounds, china nuking NK would actually be the best thing for them since it would severely cut down on the refugees they would get flooded with

eh, if every North Korean went to China that'd only be like an extra 25 million people. They could deal with that. That's like 2% of their total population.
