He certainly looks like he's had a few roast dog dinners too many.Ancient Citizen said:gordondaviesmoustache said:Not entirely sure China's inaction is due to them being pussies :-)Millwallawayveteran1988 said:If North Korea wasn't near china and Russia, it would already have been levelled.
They need dealing with but the pussies in china do fck all about them.
Let him carry on with his stupidity. America will get pissed off with it eventually and bomb the fuck out of them. That's when it could get interesting.
They are a very conservative nation and I imagine they are concerned about a united, pro-US Korea on its doorstep being used as a de facto American military outpost. They fear change, especially in relation to Korea,
They are the key to all of this, as much as the US imo.
I would be shocked if this escalates too far. Kim Jong Un, like all leaders who get a taste for unbridled power, won't want to give it up. Pushing things too far on this would almost certainly not end at all well for him.
He will sit there:think about how much this new job means getting his dick sucked whenever he feels like it; and pull back from the brink.
I hope to fuck I'm right, that's for sure.
So do I Gord. Personally I think China will pile pressure on this fat nutcase and he will start to retreat into his shell. Someone described him as a coddled infant, a good description imo.
China's influence on him and his military leaders has to be immense. It is difficult to conceive of anyone at the top table in North Korea believing they can afford to isolate China and hold on to power.
I know China had a very insular, non-expansionist foreign policy for a number of centuries, but it's always been a little surprising to me that this cul-de-sac peninsular has never been annexed by it's larger, more powerful neighbour.
In fact now I come to think of it, it isn't without question that moving in there themselves to stabilise things, would be seen as the lesser of the evils for the Chinese over greater US hegemony in the region or keeping this regime in place.
China and the US are certainly set for an "interesting" relationship as the 21st century unfolds....
