#1 How do you "tighten the noose" on these MFs? It's hard to get to the leadership short of dropping a bomb on them. They barely understand it when their people die. Even if you give them a blanket they think that's cool.

Blow up their navy one night and act all shocked maybe?

Blockade seems to me the only thing that might do the trick. Might put the kabosh on their nuclear program, too.

The leaders might understand it better if they felt it on a very personal level. Imagine if all their foreign assets went poof overnight and suddenly they had no place to run when the walls came tumbling down. Imagine then if the walls started to crumble.

But they have nowhere to run to, baby. Nowhere to hide. They're stuck. So they're going to play it to the last card and then kill themselves.

I don't see how we can offer their leadership a sneaky way out of the country in any significant numbers.

The only thing left is to squeeze their food supply at the same time.

Unless we just bomb the crap out of their government buildings and military weapons centers that could be used to suppress the population, and then hope that the people could put it together themselves.

China could save the peoples' butts without even trying really, but then NorK would become part of China, and SKor would have to forget reclaiming their relatives.

What a pain.

Maybe just a few very well placed bombs, with a promise of a few more unless they open up and get with the program.

#2 I'd say it's time for some NK naval accidents. Two can play at that game and we have the better tech/people. Don't expect Oblahblah to do it, but I would've taken two of theirs out on GP
