"The buck stops there"

Pass the buck?

and supplying N Korea with the tech and resources to develop these missiles which leaves Russia and India as the two biggest culprits and my money would be on Russia.

distract the rest of the world from their invasion of the Ukraine.

And with you know who in charge it makes such a thing even more likely. If they want to pretend they have no influence/don't care then I hope they stay out of the way when it gets to the point of no return.

to lose if a war breaks out. They're going to have to contend with 10's of millions of refugees with no where to go BUT China.

....N Korea gets all their oil from you, shut that off and they go belly up fast.

The sad truth is many refugees fleeing North Korean are sold into marriage with provincial Chinese men. The sadder truth is this is still usually an improvement in their lives. “Mrs. B.” would know better than anyone. After being sold by her traffickers, she became a trafficker herself. Her life has been grossly complicated by geopolitical factors outside her control, but she will still have to live with the consequences of her decisions in Jero Yun’s guerrilla-style documentary Mrs. B., a North Korean Woman (trailer here), which screens during this year’s New York Asian Film Festival.

Now fluent in Mandarin, Mrs. B. tries to pass for Sino-Korean. As traffickers go, she is one of the better ones out there. Obviously, she has empathy for her customers, some of whom have also been family. Using her network, Mrs. B. smuggled out her two teen sons and her first Korean husband. Somewhat to her own surprise, she now prefers her Chinese husband Jin, but she still misses her sons now residing in Seoul.

Once again, the trafficker becomes the trafficked, when Mrs. B. sets off on the arduous refugee route through China and Southeast Asia. The plan is for the fully-documented Jin to join her once she has established her defector status. However, things get rather more complicated once she arrives. Much to her regret, Mrs. B. finds she and her family are under suspicious of espionage and/or drug trafficking, which in fact she admits to some involvement with respects to the latter.

Mrs. B.’s life and circumstances are acutely dramatic, but they are maybe not as damning an indictment of South Korea’s Cold War mentality as Yun presents them to be. For the sake of survival, Mrs. B. has definitely cut ethical corners and embraced the grey areas of extralegal commerce—judging solely from what she is willing to cop to on camera. Frankly, she probably should be getting close scrutiny from the ROK intelligence service. On the other hand, her Korean first husband is such a broken man, it is hard to believe he could be any use to the North Korean terror apparatus.

tries to pawn his problems of his own makings on to someone else.

neither did Obama, Bush, Clinton...and on and on.

That's why this mess is happening.

and 45 and company have neither the ability to operate with nuance or even lay out, much less executive a long range plan.

There is ZERO chance going after china head on, and publicly will result in them doing what you are telling them to do.

It is going to require developing a narrative that makes them look irresponsible for not dealing with NK.

End of the day, softening up the view of the world to the point where we can say, "either China deals with it themselves, works with us or we will deal with it."
