How do you stop North Korea?

Keywords: Politics

Something tells me that imposing sanctions on a country that has been in autarky for all these decades isn't going to do much good. Yes, this is the fault of the regimes in Russia and China being annoyingly uncooperative as usual, but one does have to wonder if there was a way to make them more cooperative. We have no choice; we need stronger international consensus in order to deal with North Korea and Iran, and while alienating the international community with our post-9/11 arrogance and the sacrifice the our foreign policy moral high ground in Iraq may not necessarily be the cause of this fragmentation of international politics, it certainly does not help us gather together the allies and cooperation that we need.
