Default Sure.....

Blackmail for sure but not without a bite and some potential clout as well. North Korea can?t sustain a protracted land war without the PRC stepping in on their side. But for a few weeks they could fairly well call the shots on the Korean Peninsula-same as in 1950. And then have to run like all hell to stay even partially whole, same as before. But presently, they have South Korea and Japan within missile range and can deliver a range of nasty weaponry and that is where the real blackmail comes in and I fully expect to see both Japan and South Korea cave in and go hat in hand to Pyongyang and strike a deal. With Japan it?s surely Deja Vu as they were striking all kinds of separate deals and secret arrangements with the Communists during the VN War and using those potential deals to lever the hell out of the US for concessions, regional advantages, US market advantages, etc. So more of same coming up momentarily, stay tuned.
