China's the only wild card here. The US could take out North Korea pretty quickly. Remember all the crying about how powerful and large the Iraqi army was? Pfffft. The only issue is whether China would get involved, replaying the last war. I think that's less likely now. Current rulers are a little more cautious than Mao was, and there is no threat that the US would just keep going once it got to the Chinese border, like there was last time.

Well put!
Without China's support, North Korea wouldn't even exist. So the bigger picture is really about both those countries. If China can be convinced that North Korea is bad for China's business & international trade, we may see some major changes in that part of the world.
