IF they side with us, NK backs down. If they stay neutral, NK empowered and US put in a position of getting in a conflict we can ill afford or looking like a paper tiger.

How do you square that with the substantial increase in belligerence of NK since Jan 21 of this year?

I'm not saying China doesn't wield power with them; but the reality is that NK is behaving like it is for some reason and China isn't it.

It isn't helping that Obama is allowing NK to lead him around by the nose with respect to the ship they're tracking and acting timid about the missile/nuke tests.

Michael, > China is key on NK.

Yes, I already know.

But even China looks at North Korea not as a buffer against Western imperialism, but as a problem child that is increasingly becoming hard to ignore.

Obama is probably hoping for one of two things:

1) The North Korean problem will simply go away on its own.
2) North Korea does something so provocative that even China will be forced to take action.
