An amazing thing was reported today
China, Japan and South Korea all agreed on something
That something was telling North Korea it was time to sit down, shut up and be a good boy, before they were crushed like a bug.
Of course this was said in MUCH more polite language, but that is the gist of it.
For these three countries to agree that the sun rises in the east would be an amazing thing, considering the number of wars and the piles of bodies that have built up over the years. That they have reached a political accord concerning a rouge neighbor is absolutely unprecedented.
With China off the fence, and siding with the other two nations, Kim is going to be faced with two choices, neither one of them very appealing.
He can do as he is told, which will make him appear weak to his political opponents, cost him a measure of control, and could very possibly lead to his overthrow and ultimately his (richly deserved) demise.
Or he could continue to try and press forward with military action, which without China's backing means his army has all the chance of a moth in a flame.
Losing the war also leads to his demise - but the body count is a lot higher
So the Dear Leader is in deep deep kimchi - and is squirming like a worm on a hook. Let us hope that his countrymen are smart enough to realize the end is nigh, and that if they don't take him down first, he will take them down with him.
