Well, one things for sure. If the US or any other nation attacks N.Korea anytime now, you can gurantee that they will use the nukes on the basis of provocation. I say, "Leave them the hell alone" and learn to live with it. It's too late now to go barking up that tree and to do so will mean nuclear war. If we the US attack in a conventional manner it will mean nothing to N.Korea and they will use nukes on the US, Japan, and S.Korea. Any use of nukes from the US on N.Korea spins us into a nuclear war with communist China.
It would be COMPLETELY foolish now to go to war with N.Korea.
There is nothing the US can do to N.Korea now accept to learn to live with them. US is just worried that N.Korea is going to use this new power to gain bargining chips for higher level world politics and for free food.
I think China will keep N.Korea in line, since all the US has to really do is tell china if they don't put their little dog on his leash than we aren't going to buy any more "Nikes" from them. China can't afford this and China (even though they are communist) are trying hard to play the game with a clean nose with the world. They want to be liked and they aren't going to let little 3rd world countries like N.Korea ruin it for them.
