  1. The US, Japan, and South Korea don't hold war games over North Korea. The US and South Korea carry out military manoeuvres on South Korean territory. Just as North Korea regularly carries out military manoeuvres on its own territory. And seeing as the Kim regime constantly threatens to obliterate South Korea, as well as kidnapping and shelling the south from across the border, why would South Korea agree to stop war games?

  2. Both Japan and South Korea should announce that if North Korea becomes a nuclear armed state, then they will too. This will put pressure on both China and Russia (both of which support North Korea). Are they serious about limiting nuclear proliferation? And if they're not, are they willing to live with the consequences of having a nuclear armed South Korea and Japan? This would be a disaster for both China and Russia. It is most likely that the Kim regime fears regime change coming from China far more than from the US. China simply doesn't want a reunified Korea. It wants a buffer state between it and democratic western-friendly South Korea. Who is in charge of that buffer state probably doesn't matter much to them. So if Kim becomes too much of a liability they will happily drop him for another (the Kim regime was put in place by the Russians after the war, but when the soviet empire collapsed, the money stopped coming in and China became the North's biggest ally).

  3. North Korea holds its own military manoeuvres on a regular basis. They also routinely attack South Korea. With that in mind, it is entirely legitimate for South Korea to hold its own military manoeuvers on its own territory. Just as North Korea does. The aid is all one way (South Korea ships huge amounts of aid to the North). And the provocation is all the other (North Korea has shelled South Korean territory, kidnapping their civilians, and sunk South Korean warships). Sometimes the South retaliates. Sometimes it doesn't. But no US or South Korean military aircraft fly over North Korean territory.
