I put that badly, sorry. I think there will be no blockade, no sanctions, and never seriously thought there would be military intervention of any kind.Mr.Conley said:Where did you get the idea that I wanted to reward him. I'm saying that we can't attack him without massive allied civilian casualties.
The Chinese/NK relations have been not so good for quite awhile. China does not want the NK people, who try like crazy to get there, for food. Now NK has taken to keeping their train cars, which the Chinese had sent full of food.I blockade would be ideal in many ways, but you'd have to get China and Russia to agree to block any shipments over their border as well. That would be difficult. Things are looking a bit up though, apparently the North Koreans launched this missle despite Chinese protests earlier in the week. We could see a cooling in Chinese/North Korean relations.
However, Kim is communist. Whether or not he listens, respects the Chinese, doesn't really matter. Publically they will protect him. Who knows, maybe the Chinese will do him in.
