But unless we completely capitulate open war is the form that will eventually take. I'm sure China would much prefer our capitulation, but that would just be declaring open season on America for any and all competitors. Sooner or later (hopefully the former) the powers that be will realize that. Maybe after we lose a few more Navy aircraft and their top secret technologies, while we beg them to release the crews.
~sigh~ I have to be honest here, I'm having trouble following your train of thought on this subject. Are you saying China and the United States should go to war? And this helps the situation on the Korean peninsula how?

If there were a war with North Korea the US has the resources to deal with it.

In a personal sense, we could hijack a nuclear silo and shoot an ICBM at Pyongyang.

I agree that if war is inevitable, it is much better to start it at a time of our choosing.

The internal political dynamic in North Korea is such that they constantly need a crisis.
