China would absolutely step in

Would they though? Can you guarantee that? Would you take that gamble if your survival depended on it? Both Russia and China have shown that they can be remarkably timid in situations where direct confrontation and conflict with the West would be required, much more timid in fact than NATO would be in the same situation.

Yes, they would.

Are you implying that China would rather let North Korea fall then become involved? Is that really a realistic scenario?

Do you think China will be timid if the US can station land troops, missiles, and ships 100km away from Beijing?

I'm just saying i don't know what would happen in that scenario and i think it's best to be cautious and not exclude any possibility.
