I can just picture North Korea as China‘s Israel Slash attack dog, bleeding the U.S. whilst China keeps its hands clean. Give the U.S. a taste of its own medicine.
good, I want to see AIPAC style Chinese lobby groups and legal associations targeting anti Chinese entities and politicians. The key is to patiently drag these bastards into the mud and clog up their decision making process with so much chaff. Attrition such that they should fear bullying Chinese overseas.
Honestly Israel is far from America's attack dog. They consistently open their market to us, and frequently disregard American state policies. In terms of aggression, they're not in the vanguard.
Israel is more east Germany, a "model" colony meant to showcase American occupation, which also sits precariously enough that they can get squeezed by US' rivals to threaten them. Obviously the actual east German regime was far more humane and didn't practice genocide, but their role in their respective superpower order is similar. Also, they both often consider themselves "above" the population in the core territories, because of the increased privileges afforded to them, while at the same time trading more openly with the empire's rivals.
NK is not that aggressive, they mostly do their own thing and restrict themselves to Asia. Imo Russia is more like China's attack dog, and US doesn't really have an equivalent, since there's no major countries that voluntarily want to be extra aggressive for the US cause. Maybe Ukraine, but they were all but forced to do so due to Russia.
