WWIII I'm sure Trump has told both Russia and China that we don't really give a shit what happens in North Korea as long as they don't have WMDs don't regularly attack South Korea. That they can install any puppet they want as long as whoever leads doesn't intentionally starve his own people. |

They don't want 25 million starving, brainwashed people with virtually zero skill set flooding across the border. Then it becomes their problem They are brainwashed.

I would bet they enter and occupy as much of NK as they can. They would not want SK from taking over the entire country of NK.
They would call it a defensive measure and would "help with the humanitarian crisis" but they would be occupiers, nonetheless. |

One potential play is a 3-way colition of Russia, China and USA. Our side supplies naval based support while R & C are the boots on the ground. Looks good from a starting point but not sure how that would play out to the end game.
If it goes down this way, there's a new global sheriff in town and wo ist thee that picks a fight with the big 3. |

I agree. It's posturing. I don't think they're going to actually do anything with those forces. They're just there to send a message. The same way we do exercises in Europe to send a message to the Russians. The only way there won't be a diplomatic solution to this is if the crazy little NK $h1t decides to pull something. No nation has anything to be gain by a war breaking out there. |

A prudent move is one that both protects their borders and prepares for WW3. They are just doing what any country involved would do. They've been staging logistics for several months. I'm afraid it is too late to turn back now.
Why make a deal that would keep Kim in power, and then just need to have all these countries redeploy their assets in six months when Kim acts up again? No, the only logical path forward is to eliminate him and get it over with. Or at least eliminate his weapons and leave him for the wolves. |

Xi and the commies may be coming to the conclusion that they are going to have to fight us sooner or later, and they may be chasing North Korea as the venue. China better be careful if that is what they think. We talk about spreading ourselves too thin, but how thin can China get while facing the US, NATO, Japan, SKorea, Australia, and India. I mean, China and India are themselves on the brink of war right now, and if China shows they are preoccupied, India is gonna come in and snatch up those 1000s of miles of contested land. |

So, why would a conventional war between the US/South Korea against North Korea/China/Russia be considered a World War? Unless you're inferring that all the other major countries of the world would unite behind us, which didn't happen during the initial start of this continuing Korean war, back in 1950? China backed North Korea back in the 50's, so why wouldn't they do the same thing now? It wasn't considered a world war back in 1950. In any event there is no indication that Russia wants to get involved with this. But, I don't blame them for beefing up their military strength in the areas that might be impacted by hostilities. Who wouldn't? Things tend to bleed over across borders when the shooting starts. |

Also, we tend to focus on various countries intentions. Whether or not we think they're "mean" or expansionist, or aggressive etc. Our military, the war college etc. does this, but culturally and politically we don't look as hard at these other countries capabilities, it's a secondary consideration only after we think they're an enemy or not. China and Russia are much better at asessing potential enemies based solely on their capability, regardless of the country's stance, politics or intentions, and in those terms, America scares the ever-loving bejeezus out of everyone. |
