#1 Offer nukes to SKor and Japan but publicly tell China first that it's because of this, Pakiwakiland's nukes and kimmies nukes.

#2 @ #1 comment -> EXCELLENT

I would say to China if sanctions don't work we will have to invade Iran. Which do they prefer? The remind them of the Wiggers they are having problems with as well. Sooner or later (even in China) the scourge of Islam will spread across all lands like locusts.

#3 We all know that sanctions can not solve the Iran issue. Sanctions have never solved any issue. 50 years of "sanctions" have done nothing to "solve" Cuba or North Korea.

Sanctions are simply a way a politician appears to be "doing something" without actually doing anything.

It is a passive-aggressive measure.

#4 ION SINA, FREEREPUBLIC > CHINA'S RULING ELITE BELIEVE THEY ARE APPROACHING AN INEVITABLE BREAKING POINT.

China bubbles about to burst + opposition to its sovereignty over most of the South China Sea = a dangerous mix???

#7 Sanctions provide opportunities for graft along with the appearance of doing something. The oil for food gravy train was ended so they need a replacement.

#8 I think SKor could do much to solve this problem by having extensive and extended, one-on-one discussions with the Chinese, to convince them that they would profit enormously from, as a minimum, replacing the wacko NKor leadership with a Chinese friendly puppet regime, far less likely to be a regional pest.

#9 I would say to China if sanctions don't work we will have to invade Iran. Which do they prefer?

Beijing would love for us to tie our selves up and bankrupt ourselves by invading Iran.

OTOH, using nukes now - a few years before the Chinese defensive shield is fully operational - would be .... alarming.

And would prompt major action against the US dollar by many countries, so there is that .....

#10 Iran is the size of Texas and as rugged as Wyoming. It would take an army larger then ours to subdue if we executed an operation the way we have done recently (kid gloves allowing enemies to blend with the civilian population).

We probably need a more subtle way of dealing with this regime in the strategic sense but we regardless, we need to get active in some fashion.
