However on other side of the fence l can understand why nothing is being done. They have nuclear capabilities. The loss of life from another Korean war would be catastrophic. But at some point, the world has to ask itself if it's worth letting 24 million people be oppressed by a few, so as not to ignite another conflict. The real travesty is how the NK people suffer, and for the most part have no clue how the rest of the world operates.
It's a tough situation. But I honestly think that in very short order, military action will be taken against the North. And sadly, its' going to be bloody and catastrophic for all involved.

The issue is not NK and their nukes. This issue is that China would step in if the West fires first. Or at least that was the case previously. Thus it creates a much larger conflict. If it were some random nation not in China or Russia's sphere of influence you can bet they would have had a regime change allready.
