Sure. China will bark like a little doggie, all the while sitting on its paws. China knows full well that the NKs are out of control and also realize that sooner or later the goofy bastards in control of NK will fuck up. If someone other than China takes NK down, China gets to be a "Good Guy" and if you really think that the Red Chinese give a shit about losing a few tens or hundreds of thousands to fallout, you don't know much of the history of China.
I did not mean to suggest that "23,818,000" would be "wiped off"; should have been more specific. I suggest that any and all abilities that NK has to manufacture nuclear weapons as well as wage any kind of conventional war would be elminated and permanently so. This would of course necessitate the deaths of untold numbers of civilians but that is the way of modern warfare.
Although small tactical nukes might well be used to disarm NK, I suspect that the USA and its allies would not target cities in NK unless those cities were valuable military targets but would give adequete warning. Even if the NKs nuked a city in the South, an in-kind retaliatory response might not result anad only legitmate military targets in the North would be glassed.
In any case, the situation in NK is very dangerous and not the fault of the USA or Hilary Clinton. NK is run by a madman, a family of madmen in fact and will be stopped one way or another.
