But maybe Russia and China will come in and start something with US.
Then, US will be finished.
China, North Korea's key ally, could have used its veto power to block the sanctions. Instead, after weeks of negotiating, it signed on to the final draft.
"China is a country of principle," China's U.N. Ambassador Li Baodong said. "We are firmly committed to safeguarding peace and stability on the Korean peninsula."

The entire North Korean premise, viewed by the West is to piss lil kim off,
lil kim thinks he is in control of this situation, he thinks he can wave and shout and
the United States and others will make under the table deals and give them some food and materials.
I think he is being baited. i do.
The more he shouts and threatens the less he gets from us which upsets lil kim even more, and the cycle repeats.
We are winning, because i think :
1)Ultimately this will cause the regime to collapse... A win for us!
2)lil kim goes to far and launches a meaningful strike on SK... SHTF North destroyed... A win for us!
3)lil kim becomes so unhinged that he invokes Chinas wrath and is Invaded... A draw for us.
Just a few thoughts

how in the world is another war a win for us. I get what you're saying, but we can't afford to pay our bills at home much less a war that probably won't turn out to be a cake walk for us.
The answer to all the worlds problems is not killing people that have no decision making power in such and such country.edit on 7-3-2013 by wondermost because: (no reason given)

an other point of view:
Un Nukes SK, Seoul is no longer, Us Nukes DPRK China then Nukes US.
Un does not use nukes but does level Seoul, US then invades DPRK and levels Pyongyang, China then enters the war.
US ends the war games on the 11th DPRK says "see we drove the US away", but still threatens the South and turns it anger on the UN for the sanctions it imposed,as well as China.
now out them 3 what "ifs" what is most likely be the out come.
