China guarantees the existence of North Korea.   Surely not even this crowd 
in Washington is that dumb.  Meanwhile, China's goal is to be the global 
superpower by 2050 so they are more than content to watch the US be nibbled 
down militarily by commitments
hither, there and yon.  They know what happened to the Soviet Union was 
accelerated by Afghanistan.

A McDonalds will not go up in North Korea until its safe to let the people
