I take respite from thinking of this and take comfort in the fact that I have lived at least 75% of my life expectancy.
I wonder what the common people are really saying on the streets in Beijing and Moscow? That may be the real determining factor here. Everybody die for fat-boy Kim or embargo his fat-ass and squeeze the North Korean people until they overthrow him.
The world has tried to negotiate with the Kim dynasty for years -- to no avail. You are from Australia -- you know what means? You are already in Kim's missile target range ...
I don't think either Russia or China will go to war over North Korea's survival if it comes down to that -- they have too much to lose. Further, Trump is not the most mentally balanced leader the USA has ever elected
Lose canon on deck?
