However, it is not a long-term solution. The thing to remember in dealing with <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"North Korea\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=39.0333333333,125.75&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=39.0333333333,125.75 (North%20Korea)&amp;t=h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"geolocation noopener\">North Korea<\/a> is that any perceived aggression from America will most likely result in a massive attack on South Korea by North Korea.

The only real pressure we can put on China is to threaten to arm Japan with nuclear weapons.

Meanwhile, it is being <a href=\"https:\/\/postcourier.com.pg\/north-korea-crisis-hundreds-killed-north-korean-nuclear-base\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that the mountain North Korea has been using for its testing has collapsed.<\/p>\n<p>This is a complicated mess left for the Trump Administration by the Clinton, Bush, and Obama Administrations.
