I don't know what's going to happen next but I don't think any international system, however passive, is sufficiently elastic to keep absorbing shocks indefinitely without reaching some point of failure. Can't say where, can't say when but at some point something bad will come from all of this. (Nothing follows)

My strategery would be to keep denying there is any evidence the tests are nuclear until we see some actual craters. That way Kim will get ruffled and keep wasting his plutonium stock.
The Hard Plate in the East where North Korea grinds hardest after the fault lines with S Korea and Japan is the fault line between the cpc and the pla. The pla is the principle enabler of the N. Koreans. The pla is also the "legitimizing force" for the rulers of the cpc as well as a competitive bureucracy. It is not clear in this age as to whether the pla will evolve as the Japanese army "evolved" during the 1920's & 1930's.
US, Japan and SOKOR need to push NOKOR to collapse, this would hopefully cause the possible strain needed to collapse the PRC government and possible birth a multi nation in the end that would be more pro-west then the current PRC, which is currently arming itself for a show down with us and our allies. Kill two birds with one stone!
