Just a couple of brats throwing their toys out of the pram in the hope of getting new bigger toys to throw out of the pram later on.....
I could care less, if Kim don't give up the nukes there should be no deal whatsoever. We can't just let a Communist dictator threaten us with nuclear weapons and still kiss his ass. Fuck Kim and everyone willingly following him.
I personally think the good North Korean people deserve a chance at freedom by any means necessary. Another war? Fine, be about the first I've been all for. Guy threatened to nuke our homeland and we're supposed to allow him to keep nuclear weapons and kiss his ass too? Fuck no!!
Only thing that should have been done differently is Obama should have fucked them up while building nukes, but nuclear weapons should not be treated with weakness or anyone can build a nuclear arsenal and dictate the world.
War with North Korea is war with China.
Surely even American ego would accept that is a situation to be avoided. It would make the last two global conflicts look like nerds slap fighting
There is nothing North Korea does without the direction or consent of China. They prop up their economy, feed their people and share idealogy.
Their goal is to push the inevitable conflict back twenty years, when the gamble will be hedged in their favour.
If you look at the root cause of many large scale conflicts, it is a growing power attacking the old guard for dominance. The Chinese are patient and will have learned from the German's and Japanese the risk of playing your hand too soon.
Now they're saying that meetings between North Korea and South Korea will continue to consummate their deal begun at their previous meeting - with or without the US. China will also continue these regional talks with South Korea. More posturing of course, but does the US have the same clout that we had seventy years ago now that our pockets aren't quite so deep?

Spending $7 Trillion on a bunch of wars/proxy wars in the middle east hasn't helped balance any books.....now the USA is around 20 Trillion in debt or more to the guys that can just print the money...
Much of that debt is to China.
When you are dealing with a 4,000 year old civilization, you can be assured that patience, intelligence, knowledge and understanding are things that they don't lack.
The median IQ of the seventeen studies is 62 and represents the best estimate of the average intelligence of Australian Aborigines.
Many big ticket items became japanese owned- New York real estate, Rockefeller Center etc.
This is a racist notion. In fact, there is no true definition of intelligence and no way to accurately measure it across the cultural board. The Chinese have been quite clever at stealing and developing our technology and their manufacturing facilities and capabilities put many to shame. While they may still have many crude rice patty farmers and undeveloped areas, their accomplishments in the last twenty years are unmatched.

The fact that the chinese just do the donkey work for western developers and inventors, or just steal the IP doesn't indicate great intelligence either. Most of them live like insects in a colony. They haven't even refined sticks into cutlery. The chinese aren't intelligent.
They are only good at perfunctory tasks that are suited to repetitive drone behaviour.
So you think stealing is clever? I hope you don't have children.
Here is the definition of intelligence. Doesn't seem racist at all.
intelligence

noun
1.
the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
The Chinese on average come out consistently 5 points higher than most of the west and seven points higher on average intelligence than in the USA....you can argue till you are blue in the face about intelligence and if its being utilized, how its being measured etc, but international IQ ratings are all we really have to go on....

Yes they have 4000 years of what you could call a civilization behind them, so they were building roads/walls/civic institutions and palaces long before anything much was happening in the West.
Stereotyping a whole nation as being 'like insects in a colony' might not be such a bad thing since ants and bees seem to be able to live as many in a relatively secure and peaceful society.

1, I think giving up the tech is stupid.
2, You're showing how much you don't know.
