The only ones happy about NK having that capability is NK. China isn't happy about it any more than we are. If they were to do something that stupid, China would be the first ones there putting foots up asses.
I was a Boy Scout too...absolutely nothing wrong with being prepared.
Yea, its quite possible something that stupid could ruin the alliance...but china is currently north korea's only prominent ally. And despite all nk's nuclear and missile development, china still protects them and only lightly enforces the sanctions. North korea is like 90% dependent on china, so china can apply alot of pressure. BUT, china doesn't want to apply to much pressure and cause a huge influx of nk refugees coming through their border.
China will do anything possible to keep north korea, stable. Currently, NK is the only thing between china and the US on its North eastern boarder. The US is also starting to push for a larger military presence in the Philippines so they can have a strong front on the south eastern boarder. And although we're pulling most of our forces from the middle east, we are still keeping a strong military presence for "stability reasons", which is true, but we want the stability so we also have a strong front if iran tries anything and to have troops and surveillance equipment on china's western side. We are also pushing to be closer allies with russia, so the russia is mostly neutral if a conflict between the us and china ever rises.
The only reason we haven't put more pressure on NK, than we already have is because we don't want to piss off china. The reason china doesn't put alot of pressure on NK is so the us isn't on china's door step. If NK launches a missile toward the us, SK, or Japan, you can bet your ass that if china doesn't respond and blow it out of the sky, NK will no longer be a country for china to be butt buddies with. Depending how smart obummer is, we'll either launch missiles so SK and us troops stationed in SK has a cleared road for taking over nk. Or ship our troops to SK, for a ground and naval invasion of nk. Although a invasion would ruffle china's feathers, i think a missile launch would cause issues w/ china. Question is, how far are we willing to push china on the nk situation?
I'm not saying china is happy about nk's missile program, as it makes it harder for china to control NK, and keep nk stable. But i don't know how far china is willing to let it go before breaking that alliance. I think china will wait till the point of no return, then either annex NK, or let the us and sk take the hit and let sk capture nk and turn into just plain ol korea...
Sorry about the derailment, back to doomsdaypreppers...
We got enough supplies to last us and the rest of the family many years...animals, ammo, guns, reloading equipment, water, fire wood, diesel, equipment (everything from semi trucks, to skid steers, to a saw mill), and plenty of open desert between us and anyone else to see any any zombies coming a mile away....just snipe them off one by one with the hunting rifles. (None of this is stock piled for any prepping reason, just like to hunt, shoot guns, have a creek, have a small ranch, and have a small trucking company)
I ain't worried...well maybe alittle worried about the rcc servers staying online
