Maybe Mother China needs to slap it's child's (north Korea's) Ass....and tell it to square it's act up or it's grounded.

Gotta love Buffer Zone Children...they are so petulant sometimes. Ideas above their station because they think big Momma will protect them...

China, who has been North Korea’s staunchest supporter over the decades, is afraid that they will lose control. If NK continues to escalate tension and finally does something really stupid, then they will be destroyed and the two Korea’s will eventually be unified with a democratic South Korea holding all the cards.

China lose a puppet and end up with a successful democratic nation on their borders. That situation fills the Chinese autocracy with fear.

If China was smart, they would just invade N Korea. Then that would be the end of all tensions. They would have more land to call their own, and the N Koreans would have a decent life. How about it China? I don't think anyone would stop you. In fact I would thank you.

Yeah, but when the 'parents' of the mouthy 'buffer zone' children chastise them for being unruly, the parents look like they're responsible parents, don't they?

NK can be pictured as an adolescent git, mouthing off trying to impress it's parents and peers.

They mouth off, threaten and then sweat and worry a little while waiting for it's Daddy, China, to step in and say that's enough, go and do your chores.

If kim jong was a problem they couldn't control they would assasinate him , the same goes for each and every dictator thats ever existed, they are all controled by the world shadow government.

You know what this is Mr. Rabbit? This is when your in a public place with your bro's and someone who can kick your ass insults you, so you act all crazy, and you have your buddies *hold you back* while you cuss and swing in the air but your buddies let you do all the bat # crazy talk that their wanting you to do so you ALL look *the guys* are big and tuff and play their role without actually doing anything at all... NOW ONE DAY it happens the plan back fires and you end up in a HUGE bar fight.. I hope we can save this off S AND F op.

What if NK wants to unify with the South and wants to break free from China's manipulation. Will NK go to the extreme to do something truly ignorant on their part? What do they have to loose, nothing!

Since when does China cares what NK does? I thought they would be willing to back them up or NK wants to break free from their grip and putting on a show for the west is the only way to get their attention. Just a thought.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Extreme conspiracy theory time! How about China invites N Korean Puppet leader to Bejing. Once there they bag him for a day or so in one of their installations and brainwash him with a more pacificit way of thinking and doctrinate him to the Chinese style of running a country. Better than what exists now. They send him back to North Korea and within months N Korea opens up. Is this a possibility?

28.500 US troops at Norths door could cause an issue. Imagine those many NK troops in Mexico US border.

Perhaps China can be as effective in being a calming influence on it's allies as anything else. Time will tell but I certainly would hope.

1 does as well

China had long hoped that N.Korea would be its buffer state against US haegomony, since the 50s.

Unfotunately, Communism under the brand of Mao and Stalin failed its people. Instead, it was the capitalist system that saw non-commie states around the world flourishing, progressing and evolving.

China tried its new style of communism after the fall of Mao - Neo Communism which in reality is none other than full scale corruption by the majority of party members including the military. It will fail, and the current CCP govt realizes this truth.

Unfortunately, its ally N.Korea, does not and will not want to acknowledge that truth, for the corruption within their ranks run deeps, similiar with the CCP party of China. At least the current CCP govt does make an attempt to stop the rot, but N. Korea doesnt.

And China knows with such atittitudes from Baby Kim and his handlers, it is only a matter of time before the country implodes from within, and worse - Baby Kim had been found trying to play both sides. China will not want N.Korea to become another american haegemony.

Should China wacks N.Korea, at least it will still control N.Korea one day when the dust is settled, as it took responsibility to admonish its petulant child. Spoils of war through the propping up of its own leader the way it did with Tibet.

And make no mistakes, China WILL dare to admonish its allies. Vietnam still remembers 1979 when terrifying human waves of the CCP PLA troops overruning their positions slaughtering the vietminh soldiers when Vietnam though it could enlarge its own terrority by swallowing Cambodia - a China ally, whole.

But if China lets N.Korea play its game, and be wacked by US and S.Korea, China will LOSE ALL CONTROL of N.Korea when Baby Kim and his military gang surrenders and unify with democratic S. Korea.

I pity N.Korea. It does have a choice now - either be wacked by China or by the free world., but WACKED it will be if so much as one canon ball lands in S.Korea today, regardless if by intention or by accident, as N.Korea had stupidly withdrew all communications from S.Korea to counter check claims.

Pretty sure we have a few ballistic submarines with some tomahawks just itching to go...not to mention the nukes on some of them but there no way we would nuke them....unless they were launching on us there is no way for us to make a preemptive strike due to the proximity of South Korea to the north....not to mention our military in South Korea...we could simply disable them with a EMP and push through North Korea but that would take a lot of time and the casualties on both side would be immense...my thought is we will keep ignoring them and focus on Iran...
