China is becoming more and more publically embarrassed by NK. Slowly NK is becoming a self-supporting nation, and they're gonna feel the hurt.

Ninty: We're going after Iran right now because NK has proven (we think) that they have a bomb. Iran does not, yet. Think about it: There are two people that are going to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. One has already commited and jumped; do you try rescue him, or convince the other potential jumper of stepping down? If you rescue the already-jumped you risk losing the other one as well.
