#7  What the hell is the point of a naval blockade on a country with a long friendly border with their patron-state?

Besides, it's a good way to piss them off and call the rat ba$tards out.

#6  North Korea sends drugs, weapons, and who knows what else, out by ship. If it has to go through China, they (China) lose plausible deniability when a shipment come to light.
Anyway, a full court press is called for, if we don't have the guts to smack the bastards down. Suffocate them.
