   "Korean crisis" is an understatement. It's a crisis that spills over into   
   China, Russia and Japan, indeed threatening with a major international   
   catastrophe.

   I doubt is playing with fire when they can get caught in the fire. Indeed they   
   may have some sentimental attachment to Korea, but they are full blown   
   capitalists by now. The least they want is the West stop consuming their   
   goods. They can't afford that.

   Blame the political elites for their greed. They paint it nice with   
   "globalization" but it's pure greed and expansion. Iraq was part of that   
   expansion but it went wrong. Things could have gone right after the demise of   
   the USSR but it didn't. Kim is    
   feeding his ego, just like GWB did. It feels good to be powerful. Obama just   
   added to the chaos. Putin looks good by comparison.
