#1 It is idiotic but thats beside the point.

Starvation, indigenous econ woes, + Sino-centric/dominant Sino-DPRK free trade is doing more to destabilize North Korea than anything the US-Allies are doing. IMO THE DPRK CAN NO LONGER PROTRACTIVELY WAIT MANY YEARS OR DECADES FOR FORMAL REUNIFICATION WID THE SOUTH TO OCCUR.
It has to occur ASAP, likely widin 5-8 years at max, to avoid a Chinese takeover which the ROK, Nippon, + Russia, etc. don't want to see.

China's problema' is different - Besides modernization, its prob is the Nuclear Global Jihad, + gaining strategic access as befitting a "post-US" Global Superpower = World #1.

Lest we fergit, 9-11 + GWOT > WAR FOR ANTI-STATUS QUO + PRO-US-VS-ANTI-US OWG-NWO = something's gotta give in NE Asia.

ITS NOT GOING TO BE PRETTY, PEACEFUL, OR BLOODLESS. SOMEONE(S) HAS TO SURRENDER LIKE FRANCE TO AVOID A NUCLEAR CONFLICT - either China gives in, or the US gives in.

> China takesover the DPRK while the US-Allies keep Taiwan.

OR

> China takes Taiwan, but can still takeover the DPRK.

Nuclear Islam-Jihad is just starting up in Asia-Pacific BUT ITS COMING.

#3 I'm sure SKorea, Japan, Taiwan, et al can also manufacture their own missile defense [and are idiots if they don't start it up now]. I'm sure the Israelis would be willing to provide technical and material assistance for monetary and political compensation.

#5 ..true, but when your supplier hems and haws about supply and parts or uses it to stop your own efforts of self defense [when seconds count, the 'international' police are days away], it's time to start reverse engineering.

#6 That's it Jawn. Pretend those NORK missiles are not really ChiComm missiles. That'll make everything all better...until the next batch of NORK missiles and the next crisis. And then, of course, you'll have to make another concession.

#7 Naturally Jawn would bargain away a "dream based on an illusion ballistic missile defense system".

It's a cure for a "cancer on our nation's defense".
