North Korea orders UN inspectors out

Army and Marines are kinda tied up at the mo'. But Navy & Air Farce aren't too busy.

Bluster = Diplomacy for 3 days (sez I).

Then bluster = blunderbuss. With appropriate warnings ahead of time, of course.

I don't think nuclear weapons is the goal of the DPRK so much as it is the means. The regime cannot survive on its own, it uses tools like this to blackmail the rest of the international community into giving it aid. Then, the DPRK breaks its agreements and goes fishing for more aid and a better deal. And we play our part and give it to them- rewarding them for repeatedly breaking their agreements.

Of course, the other side benefit of it's weapons programs is the export business, which I also imagine is quite lucrative.

That time of the year already huh?

Well, they've made a verbal threat to do something, so I guess we'd better send them shiploads of food and fuel in a pathetic attempt to mollify them, so they can continue to divert vast sums of resources to the army and weapons research...

Sanctions and await developments. I don't think the countries around the area can do more barring an invasion in any case.

Well, we could completely cut them off, like, even cut the internet/telephone cables going there.
Kim jong tells his disciples that the rest of the world is evil and they should have nothing to do with them anyway, doesn't he? Show him/them what that's really like and let him show them how he is their great saviour and will lead them back into the light.

Punish the people because of their evil government that they didn't elect anyway? Sounds like

from the cold war.

Nono, they still have Kim Jong who they believe can heal their wounds and stop their hunger. Or maybe they will wake up and get angry at him.

If we invade we punish them as well and they will be angry at us, that way (above) we can let them decide for themselves how much they really like their leader who some/many of them worship as god-like.

But then China begins accusing us Westerners of being cruel since we aren't helping their semi-puppet and decides to deliver all the aid on their own.

EDIT: There is one sollution. Tsar Bomba.
