We are going to have to do something about that Myopic pedophilic Midge before he starts a war and gets a lot of people killed.

March 11 is the most recent images I could find.

so this means, the spectre of full conflict on the Korean Peninsula is very real. I'd imagine that before too long we'll begin to see the US and S. Korea reassigning assets to along DMZ. this is very scary stuff. The million dollar question is, if there is a conflict what side will china enter on?

China will not take a bullet for Krazy Kim.

Not this time anyway. Like it or not, China is dependent on the US due to its very light manufacturing based economy. China won't piss off one of it's biggest trading partner for a douchebag with lofty goals.

The Korean War has never actually ended. In 1953 the fighting ceased but not the conflict itself.

$1:

July 27
The United States, North Korea and China sign an armistice, which ends the war but fails to bring about a permanent peace. To date, the Republic of Korea (South) and Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea (North) have not signed a peace treaty. North and South Korea did sign a non-aggression treaty in 1991.

Yes, very scary stuff. It seems North Korea has been working on their weapons development for a long time and have reached the stage where they are doing some serious testing. I think China will be smart about this and not defy the U.S. We could potentially have 2 completely separate wars taking place at the same time. The other million dollar question is: Are there troops enough to cover both wars?

Edit - the above source is not a great one for info but I used it because it had a timeline of events. I did confirm with a couple of other sites that this armistice is the case though.

I have to agree with both of you on this one. China these days is all about the dollar and not so much about the ideology.

Their trade with the West (and subsequently, their own economy)is far more important than some loony in Pyongyang. I wouldn't even foresee 'Chinese volunteers' this time around if fighting were to break out.

The threat of a collapsed state and refugee problem in the millions is very real, for China. When NK saber rattles it's because they can get more out of us shaking our tree then China who simply will not put up with any more of Kim's shit anymore. Frankly, the only people that NK should be talking with is China and Japan with US and Russia playing supporting roles.

As for NK launching nukes and invading, well shit or get off the pot. It would be bloody but quick as well. Not the preferable option but if Berlin could be rebuilt from the ashes so can Pyongyang.

Hmm...maybe I can see "Chinese volunteers" in the sense the Chinese government sends its undesirables to get slaughtered.

That being said. I do hope no conflict happens, and Little Kim dies of a heart attack or something

Perhaps Hiroshima and Nagasaki but be better analogies than Berlin being rebuilt. Christ only knows what this mad little midget is capable of.
