It continues to amaze me how badly China has misplayed its hand here. "IF" NK "tests" Japan will go nuclear, given Chinese & Japanese history China can't be happy about that.

Someday Korea will be unified, when that happens the unified Korea is going to look a lot more like SK then NK. With NK bringing nuclear weapons to the "unified Korea" China is going to have 2 pro-western nuclear countries on its door step. Then the pressure will build to give the Bomb to Taiwan which will put China and the USA in a very, very bad position.

One good thing is if China was to ever send "aid" to a "unified Korea", it wouldn't have to worry about a "unified Korea" stealing the locomotives and not returning them, like NK does.
Howdy Ozarks,

I pretty much agree with yer assesment,however,I would like to ask you a question..well ,maybe a couple of em..lol.

Do you believe that China is being run by hard-line commies who eventually want to rule the world ?

Do you believe that the same is true of Russia ?

You see,I believe that the answers to both questions,are a loud and resounding YES.

Alot of Americans believe that with the end of the Cold War,that the threat of communism was gone..I say that it just went undergound or called it's self,by another name.

So..I was just curious as to where ya stand,on the issue of the threat that hard-line commies present to the Free World and whether or not,you feel that they're a threat. Certainly,a hard-line commie like Kim Il Jong,is a clear and present danger to SK and Japan,and if their icbm's work,a threat to us,as well.

Have a good one ...
