Now would China as NK's big brother just sit there and do nothing

I remember what China have said-If NK starts the war, we will not act, if USA start the war we will help NK.

See it form this perspective. Compare what the US has to lose if its five biggest cities and industrial hotspots get nuked, and what the loss would be if the biggest five cities and industrial centres of North Korea would get nuked. And then ask yourself this question: who has more at risk, who is more vulnerable to suffer immense losses in lives, housing, economic power - the US, or Korea?


It sounds paradox, but the US is in the weaker position here. In case of a nuclear exchange between the US and North Korea with ICBMs, the US has far more to lose, and is more vulnerable.

And there are other forms of delivering a nuclear detonator than an ICBM, too. Personally, the proverbial dirty suitcase bomb used by terrorists are what worries me at least as much as ICBMs.

I never believed in that meeting taking place, did not believe it for one second.
