Think Tank this isnt a game where you just bomb or war with every country that is your enemy or that threatens you. The Iraq war alone cost the USA 1 trillion and thousands of soldiers. North Korea isnt really important for USA, they know NK dont have the capability to harm USA.
ehm, north-korea has a "space program" that they don't even deny is an ICBM program.
and the common people in North-Korea have suffered way too much at the hands of their "Leader"s for *generations* now.
Plus, on the geopolitical stage... The North-Koreans left alive after the regime change can probably not get along with the South-Koreans.. That means for the next 50 to 100 years you still have North-Korea and South-Korea as seperate countries with seperate governments..
The smart thing to do is install wise patient Chinese people as the administrators of the North-Koreans after the regime change. Definately not South-Koreans in charge of North-Korea, or North-Koreans that led a comfortable life during the "Leader" age of North-Korea..
If this is handled properly, it could reduce tension between China and "The West" on several fronts, Taiwan, South-Korea, that area's shipping lanes, the Hong Kong political and financial situations, etc, etc..
Chinese government, you do a great job keeping violence down while you ensure groups like Falun Gong dont put you through a civil war. You have my support against the political ambitions of Falun Gong, other splinter groups that want to fully democratize China, etc, etc, etc.
But i urge you to consider my recent postings about the North-Korean situation at the highest level and then discuss them on the diplomatic level between Russia, The USA, The European Union, and all countries behind the idea i posted for a fullscale regime change.
And if speaking up about this does cause my death (i really dont think it'll come to that), then i will say now : that is a good death and i'm bound to go to Heaven and watch things from there for just a few months or years before i re-incarnate as a newborn male hetro baby with a dad who is into kungfu and runs his own business.
You need to shed no tears for me if posting stuff like this somehow does get me killed. I mean that.
