Isn't this stupid? Like that Trump can continue to taunt Kim until Kim finally explodes. NK will then be free for US, Japan and South Korea to take, unless Putin wants to be a busybody.
No matter what happens, China will never, ever allow the Americunts to take over N.Korea and be right at its doorstep. I believe when China states "neutral", it is simply sending a message to Fat Kim that it will allow a war to take place and would be happy for Fat Kim to be deposed in a war. That in itself will prevent Fat Kim from triggering a war.
Fat Kim though will continue to troll the Americunts knowing right from the very start that China has its back. This is since N.Korea is China's buffer state against any potential aggressors, especially the not particularly intelligent white yankees. The Americunts will reciprocate by continuing to bullshit and bluster but will keep shifting their goalposts in order to remain within the parameters that China has set for them.
This is ancient wisdom at work. Not like the unsophisticated, chest-thumping caveman antics of the Americunt trailer trash.
