(Chinese issue three warnings and then take forceful action
Right. You should be old enough to remember an infamous "thousand warnings" issued by China in the late 50s early 60s for US planes flying in what they considered their skies. No action was taken.

The best way of preventing nuclear wars is to make sure irresponsible nations like North Korea don't acquire nukes.

The best way of preventing nuclear wars is to make sure irresponsible nations like North Korea don't acquire nukes.
And build a strong missile defence system.

Kim Jung Un and his managers have created this almost impregnable military machine that could only be crushed with tactical nuclear weapons.
This is your conclusion or your Elena's? Based on what education/experience/intelligence?
Remember when Saddam's army was touted as "the 3rd or 4th strongest army in the world"? What happened to that "fact"?

They ran like hell, and kissed our hands. They also ran like hell when ISIS started rolling in. Fucking cowards.

better discount that time period for those days the little fat fuck is immobile due to being a little fat fuck...
"Beside from the 40 days Kim disappeared in September 2013, for an alleged leg injury, Kim's disappearance from local media for more than a week was followed by a crucial event inside North Korea," Jeon said. "Therefore, we should check every possible scenario if Kim becomes absent for a long period of time."

China and Russia are very happy to have NK as a buffer. They are not happy to have NK provoking action though. China will not tolerate a unified Korea, except on its terms.
NK to China : pay us and we will stand down our provocations of the imperialist Yankee dogs.
NK to US : we will continue our actions as long as you have sanctions and aggressive intent against us. The ceasefire we have is because of a war you started.
Military action against NK would require A) a compelling physically identified threat on the ground and B) a coalition of nations, with strong resolve, to eliminate it. Anything else will cause the international community to briefly cheer the first strike, but as retaliation comes back, a unilateral action by a single nation (USA) will now not be the savior. That nation will be the provocateur and the problem instead.
We need a unifying coalition builder to deal with NK. NK must be made an extreme pariah nation with no friends left. We need a true diplomat to be able to get China to move against them. We don't have it. Korea will stay on the course she is on right now, and we will do ... nothing.
Trump is too busy with golf, popularity impressions, and legal scandal, not to say the least that he is a dreadfully simple fellow who hasn't shown a shred of evidence that he knows what game he is really supposed to be playing. Checkers won't cut it in international chess.
Dear David:
I have studied a lot of Korean War history and read Henry Kissinger's On China. (I strongly recommend that you read it!) If military targets are hit and the management team eliminated, no problem. If one South Korea or US soldier sets foot in North Korea, the People's Liberation Army will come in. China's Rules of Engagement for nuclear weapons are simply: "If a nuke explodes on or above our territory we will retaliate with nuclear weapons." They do not consider North Korea their territory.To start to understand Chinese you have to understand Confusianism. If they were opposed to military strikes on North Korea, warnings would have already been issued.(Chinese issue three warnings and then take forceful action.)
"The noose is tightening" around Trump's neck.Paul Manafort is getting ready to be indicted on some very heavy money-laundering and tax fraud charges related to his dealings. He's 68 and can't do 10-15 years in jail. He will start talking about Trump. General Flynn is already cooperating with authorities (According to CNBC and NBC News.). He may have made a deal to denounce Trump. Who knows what else the investigation will turn up. Trump needs this war to draw attention away from him.
Elena is a great admirer of General US Grant who saved the Union in the Civil War. I asked myself:"How would Grant evaluate an attack on North Korea?" His primary doctrine is the principle of "Hit the enemy with overwhelming force with the intent of winning or don't fight at all." Kim Jung Un and his managers have created this almost impregnable military machine that could only be crushed with tactical nuclear weapons. If Hillary was in power, she would reach the same conclusion. Casualties will be 1,000,000 at the minimum up to God knows how many? Regardless of how hard North Korea is hit, the will cause some serious damage before they are crushed.
Gold will go crazy and financial markets will take a short-term dip.
