Personally, i am 100% for the USA pulling out of the world and letting the rest of the world deal with the consequences. No more massive military budget. No more foreign aid. No more weapons. No more UN. No more trade deficits. No more military bases. etc etc etc.
That said, from a practical standpoint... why should china deal with it? China is going to do anything that rubs the US the wrong way, just as Russia does... which means letting N Korea have nuclear weapons and arm every radical/unstable government on the planet while they continue to threaten Korea, Japan et al. How do you think China will deal with it? N. Korea just tested a rocket. That is always 100% political. They want to challenge the US. They want to flex for the world. China and Russia are NEVER going to get in the way of that. How has China done anything to begin with? What did China do when they broke all their previous agreements, started enriching uranium, kicked out UN IAEA inspectors, threatened the USA with war if aid stopped to them etc etc etc. ?
If the world cared about N Korea, they'd send in teams in to wipe out their "Dear Leader" and all his loyal staff and try to feed the people. The world doesn't care about people. The world cares about posturing.
The US should not be playing "World Police" - but who tries to feed these people? Who takes an active role in talking to these idiots (apart from neighbors as it relates to their own security). Who sheds a tear for the millions of starved to death N Koreans over the last 20 years? I get people bitching about the USA trying to police the world... but at the same time, who's trying to prevent this idiot from selling nuclear weapons to HAMAS & Co.? No one. This is also a very serious problem and one that can't be ignored.
The UN and its member countries should be doing their job. But the UN is also nothing but a political platform for posturing at the direct expense of innocent people.
