It can gain security but also the weaponry to resume the Korean War it started some 60 years ago.

The US and allies also have something to gain: preventing NK from further fortifying its arsenal, arsenal which would lead to ever greater destructive power.

Great news then. When it comes to money and tech, North Korea is absolutely DEMOLISHED by some of the world's leading economic and technological leaders: USA, Japan, and South Korea. China would be wise to ultimately side with its far more economically-lively trading partners.

Sure but is an economic crisis far greater than the one that started in 2010 and presumably 30 million lives worth taking that risk. NK does nothing if not provoked, preliminary militairy actions are unwise in that matter. Just as provoking Russia and NK with military exercises and building militairy bases within 100 miles of their borders is unwise. Also for what a false sense of security for a country that has nothing besides a big mouth and a few nukes it can't fire into orbit and only over short distance.

Where does one draw the line then? NK continues to build its arsenal. Where does one draw the line?
