Chess. What move should the US make?
China and NK are consorts. US and China are business partners but enemies, rivals. Sanctions by China on NK are a show and China is forced to do it but they work it out. If China did not want NK to do what they are doing, China would not have to use sanctions. It was China who gave NK the tech to use against the US.
Read Morpheus posts - he convinced me.

Morpheus, I knew that. You posted about it on another thread but I don't think that HH understands the chessboard. I also don't believe that Trump is learning about China. He knew.

"China has more leverage over North Korea than any other nation, but as Trump is learning, China has reasons to keep Kim in power and use him as a counterweight to America’s presence in South Korea. Trump can still lean harder on China and threaten sanctions there, but China is a huge U.S. trading partner and what hurts China would hurt American interests, too." -Yahoo Finance

HH, you are looking at things superficially. What Kennedian mighty act will the US perform to not allow NK to shoot their missiles over people's houses -except to compromise same as Kennedy did? But that's all the US can do. KJU is no Saddam Hussein.
Morpheus pointed out that China is insidiously backing NK because it was China that gave NK the technology to begin with knowing that NK would use it against the US. Also, China has insinuated with few words that it would not allow the NK regime to collapse. Also, you are dreaming if you believe that the US will prevent NK to keep their toys. NK will keep them and promise to be nice.
Cofty pointed out that in the past when the US pushed NK too far, China got involved.
On the other hand, as Simon said, anything can happen.

Hothabanero: During the Cuban missive crisis, the news and all the propaganda made out Kennedy and the US to be so mighty by not allowing FC to have missiles. But secretly-or not so public-the US had to vow to the USSR never to invade Cuba and to downsize or remove (don't remember which) missiles in Turkey. But in the media, Russia was made to seem they backed away. - Some mightiness abandoning then Cubans and also weakening US position in Turke!

hothabanero, as Cofty seems to imply, the only way to stop NK is to push them past the 38th.
Let me put it to you this way. Try "not allowing"China from having nuclear missiles or anyone else that already has them --like NK for instance.

I have said it before and I will say it again: North Korea should not be allowed to get nuclear missiles.
Neither should Russia nor China, nor Pakistan, nor any of US enemies, nor anybody else but only the United States of America.

You can only push NK so far before China gets involved.

cyber sabotage those missiles and installation.
So, they will build another one improved.
now they are really dangerous.
People with loaded guns are always dangerous.
And now that NK has nukes, they are not going to be pushed around by the US into submission.
