China and Russia will not allow a nuclear strike in North Korea. They have too much to loose. I bet my left nut on that

If things go nuclear, the possibility of fallout over China, and the rest of Asia makes it possible that billions could die.

A survivor would not need to execute his Army chief for criticizing his military leadership appointments - imo, the time has come for him and his bloodline to reap the consequences of their little 50+ year cease-fire with the south, he's imprisoned an entire population and kept them from experiencing the real world - unacceptable.
Tis time for round-boy to 'retire'.....
I only hope that our Twitter warrior in chief can exercise a little caution here

" Is the risk of world intervention worth the destabilization of a fairly stable (albeit cruel) dictatorship? "
YES . Tyranny Must be Confronted or it Will Eventually Cause Death and Destruction wherever it Arises . Kim Jong Un and his Regime Must be Controlled for the Sake of World Peace .

Don't they starve the people in NK?, don't they live in a police state country kinda thing?
the people of NK are not free and are ruled by a straight up nut worse than his father was from everything i have read so far. and if china really is refusing imports from NK then i have a feeling little kim is gonna get a bit more insane.

Survivor or not, he is still a madman. You just don't operate a country the way he does if you are sane. You might as well start defending Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and all the other brutal leaders throughout history. Just because the western governments are a force of pure evil, does not mean their enemies are good or victims in any of this. The North Korean leaders chose to take their country down the path they did. They chose to follow in their father's and grandfather's footsteps.
As the saying goes: It's six of one, half-a-dozen of the other.
