But if the USA took the initiative,
it would be like 'going back in time'
and both China & Russia would have an excuse to attack the USA.
The real problem that started the whole 'problem'
is Russia, when it raised its ugly head as the Soviet Union.
You gotta understand that 'Politics' is trying to find an 'eternal' connection 'around' this planet.
So is every other Industry and Race.
"So see in 'every direction'"
By right, the Ring of Politics is from North America, down through Oceania, into Sahul (Australia), then back up to Europe.
But because Australia has been somewhat 'nothing' for so long, but a tiny little 'holiday' camp for Convicts.
The Soviet Union rose up into existence instead.
Don't laugh.
The idea that the World was going to have an 'All-White' Northern Hemisphere via the USSR/USA convergence was a very real thing.
As General Macarthur quoted in the Korean War
"We are here to kick the Yellow Mongols out of Asia"
(and send them where? Australia?)
Yin/Yang was very much perceived as the 'simple answer' for the simpletons who see life as either 'just' Black or White.
Crazy huh?
But we all know it didn't go that way.
The USSR, after turning China into Communism, failed and turned into Capitalism. It slapped China on the back and said "Join me" and then turned and said "Sorry, I'll take the USA way".
Now Europe, headed by the Ukraine is putting pressure on Russia to become more 'Pro-European'.
"Are you with us or against us?"
Poor Russia, nothing but a Mafia, Gangster run nation of a Military force that is half of what it used to be and semi-rusted away - is now stuck between a rock and a hard place.
If Russia turns its back on China again - China will invade it and take Siberia.
If that happens...
Russia will suddenly call to the USA for help.
USA will be hesitant to get involved, but this is where North Korea (like a son waiting to avenge his raped mother of the Korean War) will bring the USA into the fray.
China would much rather go to war against a crumbling Russia, than the USA ...especially when the majority of its Military are 'ground troops'.
The Yin/Yang 'all white' Northern Hemisphere 'belief' has 'failed'.
Thankfully because the 'connection' has been given a pass to continue here in Australia ...for want of the whole world being destroyed by the 'blackmail' of all out Thermonuclear War - which would have been the case during the very powerful USSR years.
If China invades Russia and takes Siberia, thus giving the 'Yellow' Mongols an access of existence to share the North. The South East Nations of Vietnam, Burma, etc will swipe southern lands from China. Just yesterday, Vietnam has urged their fellow Southern Asia nations to 'Arm Up' against China ...just in case.
So no. North Korea won't 'start' anything.
They are like that little coward in the Pub who waits for his big mate to start the fight and then rushes in to lay the boot in from behind.
The USSR was a great nation. But it was just in the wrong place.
Now the heat is on Australia to stop being the lazy nation that just blames the UK or whoever for 'being chained' from taking more Global Responsibility.
So you see. It's really about the 'Big Picture'. Sure it sounds insane, but it has been an 'insane world' for quite awhile. It's all about every race and 'culture' having a sense of 'equality'.
War will soon start, I reckon next year. It's been practically 100 years since WW1. The world has to 'turn' again.
The 'All-white' Northern Hemisphere attempt, via the USSR has FAILED. Now the 'Yellow Mongols', who now get to stay in Asia - will get revenge for nearly being kicked out.
Get ready to rumble.
Hence why even the UK has sent three 'Super Carriers' into the China Sea.
Sorry Australia. But when Russia is 'gone' as a Super Power, the World will be looking in this direction of the world. Looks like the 'Holiday' is over. The UK (Parents) are about to kick you out of their house to 'grow up' and find yourself in the World, wether you like it or not.
Things will suddenly go 'crazy' in Australia ...if they aren't already.
