| Topic | If North Korea actually does hit Guam, should we fire back? |

China has to defend North Korea, because going back on well established promises can have very negative repercussions diplomatically. Would you want to be allied to a nation that will turn on you in a heartbeat? So right now, they're assured that the US won't do anything too stupid, while they hope the DPRK doesn't do anything stupid. Which is a LOT to hope for since they made a reputation of throwing tantrums for aid. So now China has to hope fallout doesn't rain on them because they're stuck next to a petulant toddler who is going after someone who doesn't take shit. You're wrong, China can't take sides against us. Why? China had a 309 billion dollar trade surplus with the US last year, and their economic health depends on every dollar worth of trade with the US. And as for NK doing anything "stupid" as you say, their tantrums are just their way of extracting concessions from the international community, that and keeping their population placated. They aren't suicidal, they just want to hold on to power, and the easiest way for them to loose it would be for them to attack another nation. --- Guns; freedom you can hold in your hand.
