This is NOT about north & south Korea. THIS IS ABOUT CHINA AND THE USA.

1.Korea is essentially a vassal state of China.

2. Pyongyang would never have made this move without some sort of "understanding" with the PRC.

3. The real question is: What does China hope to gain from this move...and are the idiots in the State Dept smart enough to recognize this for what it is & respond accordingly?

Riiiiight. US economic interests and political influence in Asia are based on military presence in Japan and S. Korea. The promise to the S Koreans and Japanese is security in return for hosting these bases.

Unfortunately, there is little the US can or will do without the approval of China...other than all out war. It's what happens when foreign policy is dictated by GOOG, MSFT, CAT, etc.
