If NK got out of hand - it could be both in the favor of the CHinese and yet also to their detriment since it's like playing with Joker from The Dark Knight......and as much as many say their reach/capability is limited with targeting the U.S, I do wonder if perhaps the real danger would be in Hawaii specfiically.
For the Pacific rim is generally concidered to be part of Asia and Hawaii is on the outer edge of the Pacific rim...and as the President is very connected with the Asian world due to his descent, hasdue to his descent/passion for seeing growth in that area - with the Asian Pivot being based on that (more shared here and here in #6 #27 ), it seems like an attempt to destabilize that goal - and test the resolve of the President/U.S.A.
Again, it's not a surprise to see things occur as they have since President Obama began to make shifts toward the Asian world in his First Term and went full-steam ahead during his Asian-Pivot/tour...a tour which made known his intentions to gain allies in the Asian-Pacific world and essentially form a blockade of China even as it rises in influences. For in doing so, should China want to harm to U.S, it'd also have to be seen as harming the allies it may have in business who are in good business with the U.S. .....the issue of "The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend and not my Enemy." Even with it being the case that many suspected an arms race due to how tension between the two nations escalated with the US criticizing China's currency policies and Washington bolstering its military presence in the Asia Pacific, China seems to be playing low...for now.
If NK was taken out, that'd be an ally of CHina gone - unless, of course, it was a calculated risk China may be willing to take by letting Kim act the Fool. So we'll see. For an excellent review on the issue:
As said elsewhere, truthfully, I think the entire issue could be resolved in ways that would not require war - and as said before in #93, I thought there was a lot of wisdom in what others noted when it came to others noting that the President may be wise in seeking to reach out to the young ruler and dialogue with him - regardless of his past. For often it has been the case that leaders do great acts of bravado in order to get attention/fit a role when in reality they may feel set up/being played by forces outside of the public eye.
I think the use of Sports - much in the same way that China and the U.S had their Ping Pong tournament to solve a lot of issues ( #1/#615 ) - may make a big difference when it comes to pride.
Ultimately, I wonder how many have considered if Kim has never really had anyone seriously talk to him - as a man to a man, one brother concerned for another - and has instead had others put him into the role of a monster and therefore he goes with it. I think the thing that so many seem to be forgetting is that what Kim needs is the Gospel - and that even he is not beyond it. Had this shared from a sister in CHrist who lives in CHina and shared her thoughts on the situation...as shared here:
The Power of the GOSPEL!!!
Praise the Lord.
Thanks for posting this, G.
