I'll read all responses.
The problem with North Korea is its nuclear arsenal. Right? So here is how I would handle it if I were the POTUS.
First off, I disagree with Trump's approach. Trump threatened to bomb North Korea and I think that's a bluff and I think everyone knows it's a bluff. For reasons I won't bother to go into, a conventional war on the Korean peninsula is almost unthinkable.
The solution lies with China. China acquiesced to North Korea going nuclear and quite probably even encouraged it. The pressure needs to be put on China to get THEM to make North Korea disarm.
We need to get with Japan and South Korea and to meet, privately, with the Chinese. We tell them that, unless North Korea disarms and we can verify that North Korea is disarmed, Japan and South Korea will begin building their own nuclear arsenals. Additionally, privately, we will inform China that, in the event North Korea uses a nuclear device or any other WMD, it will be viewed as an attack by China and it will require a similar response against China.
In other words, if China wants to put the fate of Beijing in the hands of Kim Jung-un, then so be it. Of course, I don't believe they are willing to permit such a thing. The Chinese would be petrified at the thought of Japan and South Korea building a nuclear weapons capability. Ultimately, they would, I believe, make sure that North Korea disarmed.
Of course, there is the matter of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty that would need to be addressed. But that can be resolved.
Your thoughts?
