Disagree. That's like suggesting the school bully deserves the credit for the class reunion because everyone hated his guts and had something in common. I think China was a much bigger player in this than the United States.

One last point, no one, and I mean no one in US government or military believes a nuclear attack on NK is possible, with provocation through an attack initiated by NK. They all know any such action would set dominos in motion that would lead to nuclear annihilation of a number of American cities.
