    To be fair in chiming in hear I really should vote but I'm having hard time choosing between those four because my solution would be to smuggle in great music from the west and kindly ask to smuggle out some of there traditional and/or local musics. I seriously don't think anything short of appreciating each others cultures will work.

    Recognition and acceptance. Normalization of relations with NK. That's what they want, a seat at the big boys table. I say give them what they want.

    They won, it's time to accept that. Unless of course the world is willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands, if not millions of South Koreans lives.


    How to Deal With North Korea

    There are no good options. But some are worse than others.


    Every option the United States has for dealing with North Korea is bad. But accepting it as a nuclear power may be the least bad.

    So might Israel, US, China, Russia, India, Pakiston etc.


    N. Korea would be annihilated the moment they use one.  Even Kimmie knows that.

    I am more worried that Trump might than NK

    Their firing of a missile over Japan makes me think NK is a real threat.

    Yeah, when it comes to nukes, I'm WAY more concerned about the countries you listed. 

    And if N.K. did, for some crazy reason, toss a nuke, the reprisal would be massive.  The results would be toxic and deadly in a small region where there's hit but ultra toxic over there and the amount of death in N.K. due to counter attacks would be staggering.  I'm going to assume they're not so stupid as to let that happen.

    agree. The back and forth between NK and Trump is good for business.

    that is nothing more than telling the world (Trump) to back the fuck up. walk softly and carry a big stick, as it were.
