N Korea
Well Kim Jong Il is now the big man on the Asian block because he has popped off a nuclear weapon.
North Korea is a dangerous nation and it is very dangerous for them to be nuclear. The greatest danger though is to South Korea, China, and Japan. China could definately end this thing by cutting the energy supply to North Korea. N. Korea is DEPENDENT on China for both energy and food to survive . Kim Jong does not care about his people, but he does care about his power. No power (energy or political) means Kim Jong is close to having the end of his reign. China is the key to this situation.
The US can not do more then back China and Russia politically on this one. I do not say this because we lack ability or power, but because we have other things that we need to take care of and the more you can have others do to accomplish your political goals the better.
