Any Chinese military build up near the NK border is for refugee control in case things go South (couldn’t resist). China has its own huge issues – a financial house of cards, aging population, systemic corruption, etc. China has about as much use for Lil’ Kim as Austin, TX does.

Well, that is small comfort to the 15 million S Koreans who live within range
of the NK artillery. They could do a lot of damage. As I said a few pages
back I tend to agree with the sabre rattling but one never knows with
bonafide wackjobs. I think a lot of it has to do with saving face which is
why continued negotiations are important, at least as far as those 15 million
S Koreans are concerned.

Agreed, Largo. It's for local consumption. The situation is similar to that of a few months ago when, while installing the new Emperor, China got all belligerent with Japan over the Senkaku/ Diaoyu Islands. That sure went from end-of-the-world to off-of-the-front-pages in a hurry.

Reilly,
I also agree with you. It can’t be easy to live under the barrels of half a million tubes. But I believe that SK has the means to take out Lil’ Kim at will. They must. If SK really felt that Kim was going to go for it, he and his buddies would be dead before they got within sight of the fuses much less before getting their Bics out of their pockets to light them up. SK and NK share common language, history, traditions, families, you name it. SK can take Kim and his artillery out at will. Why haven’t they done that already? Because NK’s noise has always been greater than its abilities. SK won’t waste its cousins until Kim steps over a certain line. As long as NK just barks, China prevents taking the Kim Dynasty out. If NK goes Rambo, China will step away from NK and join the world coalition for ‘stability in the region.’
SK doesn’t seem particularly worried. Check out the one year trend in the KRX index (SK stock market).
SK has been living under the threat of NK’s guns for over 60 years. They have given some thought to this kind of mess and have a solution.
But, of course, I haven't considered NK's ability to make itself invisible.

Ultimately it's suicide for NK to start anything
Exactly. I believe Kim Jung Un will be assassinated, possibly by the Chinese, or Dennis Rodman

I thought that only applied to the Coast Guard? My buddy, the retired Chief Torpedoman, told me that was so they could walk to shore if their ship sank.
