Don Oberdorfer, journalist-in-residence at Johns Hopkins University’s Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, held an online chat Thursday with readers of washingtonpost.com

Here is one of the juicer bits:

Arlington, Va.: If N. Korea will not give up it’s weapons program, what will happen next? What will this mean?

Don Oberdorfer: Then the US and others will go to what is called in Washington Plan B, meaning some kinds of pressures to be exerted vs NK. The problem is there aren’t any very effective ones out there and the allies and friends all have different ideas.

Be sure to read the rest on your own.

    Hey guys. Sorry, I know this doesnt belong here but I’m dropping a note to let you know that I killed my blog “Delineatd Blog” (http://delineatedlife.blogspot.com/) a few months ago and some calling card company has snapped up the URL. So any click-through traffic that may be following the link from here is being sent to an advertisement page.

    You may want to kill the link… unless you’re fond of the product.

    I never fully understood why people would just kill a blog they had. Even if one didn’t want to leave the posts there for posterity (get it–posterity?), it seems to make better sense to strip it down and keep it active (maybe with a note where else to go) than to let someone else take it over and maybe sully your good name.

    “The problem is there aren?t any very effective ones out there and the allies and friends all have different ideas.”

    This is a lie. A fuel imbargo will do nicely. Stop China from giving oil to NK. With no oil, NK will implode in less than six months.

    Friends are having different ideas? When did that stop the U.S.? Just do what we have to do. Others will fall in line.

    there is a very effective methodology in terms of pressure on dprk. STOP SUPPORTING THEM! specifically, the ROK needs to shut down all support until the regime collapses.
