So, the way I read it, this is going to eventually end with a big fight. It could go on forever if we just kept issuing the checks forever. But human nature precludes that. Somebody will inevitably get ticked off and say no more and then the fight comes.

So, if the fight is inevitable, would it not be better to have it sooner, while their nukes are still of uncertain utility, than later after they have had time to perfect them?

My opinion of course makes no difference at all. Does anybody know if the South Koreans are leaning that way?
