But there are so many more important things we need to do. That\u2019s just a small part of the puzzle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">&#8220;There\u2019s a lot more things we can do to disarm North Korea peacefully. For instance, much more intensive sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">&#8220;Not only on North Korea but especially on North Korea\u2019s backers \u2013 China, Russia, some other countries.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">China remains the only North Korean ally in the region due to a 1961 treaty which economically and militarily binds the two countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The television pundit said North Korea&#8217;s ultimate goal is to push a large US military-force presence out of the Korean peninsula in order to &#8220;take over&#8217; neighbouring South Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Seoul and Washington have a long-established military partnership, with nearly 38,000 members of US forces deployed in the East Asian country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Mr Chang continued: &#8220;The North Koreans want to intimidate the United States so they can then get South Korea into submission so they can take it over. That\u2019s, I think, the real danger here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">&#8220;That\u2019s the ultimate endgame for the Korean regime. Ever since 1948, when Kim Il-sung founded the North Korean regime and that\u2019s been their consistent goal.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Tensions between North Korea dictator Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump have been escalating since the two leaders began a war of words over the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">US and South Korean forces are currently undertaking a five-day exercise involving 230 aircrafts in the Korean peninsula.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">North Korea&#8217;s state media said the drills were pushing the country to &#8220;the brink of nuclear war&#8221; after Kim Jong-un tried to cancel the exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The Korean Central News Agency said on Sunday the US and South Korea &#8220;will pay dearly for their provocations&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">It added the US is &#8220;begging for nuclear war by staging an extremely dangerous nuclear gamble on the Korean peninsula&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">And North Korea&#8217;s aggressive rhetoric has been frustrating South Korean attempts to create a buzz for the 2018 Winter Olympics \u2013 scheduled to take place in the city of Pyeongchang in February.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The latest missile test from Pyongyang was an unexpected development for Seoul after the Olympics organisers got on track after facing construction delays and wary sponsors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/world\/888566\/North-Korea-news-World-War-3-Donald-Trump-Kim-Jong-un-China-war-military-video<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/world-news\/us-needs-economically-starve-kim-jong-un-regime-avoid-world-war-3.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US needs to economically &#8216;STARVE&#8217;
