North Korea at best is an direct annoyance to the US, hardly a threat. People, including politicians, uses the word 'threat' carelessly.He is not just a counter weight he is a direct threat to US and he is very important in the regional stability. Without him every other nation is against China's interests and he is a good road block for USA.
You are correct but it will be foolish for USA to think North Korea is alone. In 1995 we use to hear that North Korea was the 4th strongest nation in the world but gradually that threat changed I agree but there is down side to the USA as there is no available proxy for USA to use in the North Korea. It is difficult to confront Kim directly.North Korea at best is an direct annoyance to the US, hardly a threat. People, including politicians, uses the word 'threat' carelessly.
If you wave your fist at me, technically speaking, that is a threat, but if I am holding a .45 behind my back, out of your sight, I am more of a danger, not a threat, to you, should you do something foolish. So while NKR can even wave a nuclear fist at US, we are more of a danger to NKR than Chubby Kim realize.

Do not think -- even for a micro second -- that China is any kind of an ally with NKR. China sees NKR is nothing more than a tool. China -- as a political entity -- have nothing but contempt for NKR. The Chinese -- as a people -- have nothing but contempt for Koreans in general.
The US and China are perfectly fine with the status quo. Unfortunately for Korea and China, North Korea WILL collapse. It has gotten to the point where even the Chinese on this forum had to face that inevitability. When -- not if -- that day comes, and it WILL come in my lifetime, China will have to either invade NKR and take over, or start shooting Koreans at the China-Korea border to prevent a refugee crisis.
I say this bluntly but kindly -- pull your head out of your @Ss.
If Chubby Kim keeps quiet, then he will not suffer the fate of Saddam Hussein and Muamar Gaddafi.Fat Kim saw what happened to Saddam and Gaddafi. If he is going to die painfully anyway, then he's going to take down all his enemies with him. There is no loss for him either way.
Not if -- but when.If North Korea collapses he is going to bring down everyone with him. If Saddam and Gaddafi had nukes they would have done the same before their painful end.
Do not be so naive. Your China have alternative plans on what to do with NKR, including formally making NKR a part of China proper. A replacement can be found within the Chinese government.So unless a replacement can be found, that's not going to happen.

I heard that they died at the hands of a relative. You think it was US ?I guess you have heard what happened to Fat Kim's Uncle and Brother?
All young Kim has to do is keep quiet. Even he is informed well enough that the US, South Korea, and China are happy the way things are. But if his language continues to introduce uncertainty as to what he might do, the US have the capability and the will to deny NKR the ability to launch any kind of missile in our direction, and if that ever happens, your China will be the recipient of a refugee crisis that is greater than what we are seeing today in the ME.Do you think he will let the US torture and kill him like they did to Saddam and Gaddafi. He is not building ICBM's in order to nuke the moon, or Nicaragua, the target has always been the American mainland.

Am talking about the day when China is tired of the North Korean Kim dynasty.Who said it was the US?
Fat Kim killed his Uncle and Brother because they were seen as being favoured by China as potential replacements for him.
Whatever "assets" China had in North Korea died on those days.
Then China better take over NKR. Do you really believes that Beijing is safe from NKR-ean nuclear missiles ?I don't think anyone will benefit from a regime collapse in North Korea. Unless someone has a way to disarm those nukes first?

In my opinion, and I have no problems being wrong on this, is that your China has passed the point of no diplomatic return regarding NKR. Either China literally take over the country, or let it collapse. Whatever NKR does in the throes of that collapse, both the US and China will deal with the country, up to military solutions. But I doubt that China is going to back any more native NKR-ean candidates.

The reality -- between the US and China -- is that your China will be the greater loser WHEN North Korea collapse.China is only a developing country, we already tried and failed, the corpses of his Uncle and Brother (both favoured by China as replacements for him) are evidence of that failure.
