There is one and only one solution to the problem of North Korea. The only country with any influence on Kim is China and they enjoy watching him bother the US. No matter what happens he needs China and China isn’t going to cooperate. We have only one piece of leverage that will convince the Chinese that they need to control Kim. We should make it clear to Beijing that a nuclear NK tips the balance in east Asia and would require a reevaluation of our nonproliferation policy. I doubt South Korea would bother them, and Japan not much more, but the threat of a nuclear Taiwan should do it. Fix North Korea or Taipei gets the bomb. Kim wouldn’t last a week.
