Also a strike on North Korea would likely Mark the end of the global free trade international system. This would present Both advantages and disadvantages for China. Possible long-term advantages for China if they played their cards right yes, but there are also fundamental disadvantages for the Chi...

Re: 27-Apr-18 World View -- North Korea's negotiating position collapses, along with Mount Mantap

Our troops are a tripwire. I was stationed along the DMZ for three years. We always knew we had a "die in place" mission. Why? Because when American troops die, Americans will back a war. If we withdraw and the norKs invaded, the American people would resist our involvement. But eventually, we woul...

Re: 27-Apr-18 World View -- North Korea's negotiating position collapses, along with Mount Mantap

Americans want a lot of things. Removing troops will lead to war on the peninsula. A war that we will be drug into, one way or another. None of this happens in a vacuum. War is coming no matter what. How is having 28,000 US soldiers and their dependents in the line of fire going to change anything?...

Re: 27-Apr-18 World View -- North Korea's negotiating position collapses, along with Mount Mantap

The scenario you propose would require us breaking several treaties and it would push China into having no other option but to respond. If you think we could sell out allies like India and Taiwan without any repercussions from other allies, then you really do not understand geopolitics and you disc...

Withdraw from Korea and nuke the Chinese and the North Koreans from a distance. guest, China has ~250 nuclear weapons. Which 250 American cities do you want to lose?
