it's already a hassle for countries to deal with Syria. Even with a minority being fake refugees, there is a huge issue in Europe.

I'm not sure if North Korea's surrounding countries will be willing to deal with 27 million people who believe Kim is a glorious leader and that every other country is evil.

Do you really think that 27 million people that live in a quasi hell believe he is a glorious leader? I think they just do or say whatever to live in peace and eat. 

Trump needs to bring out the MOABs again

I think you're a bit misunderstood. He may be acknowledged as a supreme leader, but in reality he's got others working with him, much like any other dictatorship. So, killing him is not going to just solve all of the problems.

Regardless of what they think, 27 million is still 27 million. Perhaps the young Koreans can help Japan's declining work force, but I wonder how they'd handle such an issue

No, let China handle it. They are the ones who created the vassal state of North Korea (so did the Soviet Union but their defunct now and their successor is outside the East Asian's sphere of influence) so they should be the ones putting Kim Jong Un in his place since he owes his nation's sovereignty to the likes of China ...

If we're going to go to war with North Korea this needs to be at least a multi-national agreement among the involved parties ...

Killing him would just cause retaliation from the North, they'd probably shell S. Korea for days, killing millions. Their missiles can reach Japan as well so that would be even more people dead. At the rate we're going, N. Korea will develop an ICBM and there's nothing we can really do about it.

I confess... i came in expecting a Trump thread.

I'm still ok with either one. :x

China isn't going to "handle it" though. All their attempts have thus far been futile.
North Korea likely holds strategic value for China anyway, especially with the USA and South Korea on the Korean Peninsula.

The USA has literally gone to war in the past for far far far far less.

Well. Before you make any such maneuver, you tend to bolster defenses first.
They could implement the Israeli Iron Dome across Japan and South Korea.

Regardless. If you take out North Koreas military capability (Missiles/Artillery) before they can use them, their threats suddenly become less than threatening.

One thing we need to keep in mind is that North Korea is technologically behind. We are talking World War 2 levels of military capability here, cold war at most, they might have the numbers, but they don't have the quality or capability.

Integrate them with South Korea.

They have the cultural and blood ties. Plus they have tried to build economic cooperation in the past.
North Korea actually has a ton of untapped resources that could be taken advantage of to build the country up.

Could always turn North Korea into the worlds largest carpark?

At this point Ding Dong Un is just firing off his model rocket sets for the lulz. Should one of them "accidentally" land in the backyard of one of his neighbors, he'll be getting the spanking of a lifetime.
