#3 As per CHIN MIL FORUMS/BLOGS, apparently NEITHER BEIJING NOR PYONGYANG HAVE THE FUEL RESERVES TO FIGHT A SECOND KOREAN WAR = MAJOR WAR.

Which indirectly makes inducement of "GREAT POWERS" MILPOL CONFRONTATIONISM North Korea's only realistic option, given IMO Kimmie + Regime's desire to PRESERVE KIM FAMILY DYNASTIC POWER + "NORTH KOREAN"-STYLE/CENTRIC BRAND OF COMMUNISM-SOCIALISM + "NORTH KOREA-FOR-NORTH-KOREANS/KOREANS", to preserve iff not improve, expand the NORTH KOREAN POLITICAL "STATUS QUO" AGZ BOTH CHINA + US-ALLIES???

ALso, SOUTH KOREA'S DECISION TO STOP REFERRING TO THE NORTH AS ITS "MAIN ENEMY" IS IMO A COVERT = PCORRECT-DENIABLE SLAP AT CHINA BY SEOUL IN FAVOR OF + WILL-NOT-ADMIT-TO-IT SUPPORT FOR NORTH KOREA.

To paraph post-9-11 ROBIN "MORK FROM ORK" WILLIAMS + "72 VIRGINIANS" TV SKIT >"CCCCCCCCCCCCC-Correctness.......SSSSSSHHHHHHH"!
