It would be good if China or Russia stepped in to help clean up the mess*.
* - You know how they clean up messes like these. See the Chechen Conflict and Afghanistan in the 1970s-1980s, and Tiananmen & Sino-Vietnamese War in 1980s.

Russia won't actively do anything. There is no value for them in taking over North Korea, and they're not at all ideologically similar. Europe is their main soft-power priority. Russia will more likely be a side effect added in after anything drastic happens, because selling gas to an empty (?) market of 22 million people would be laughably profitable.
China's in a weird position. If they do anything militarily, the world will go crazy. The best they can do is threaten the military to keep the status quo (i.e. just prop the son up and go to bed).
Does anyone know if Japan and South Korea have any visible cooperation when it comes to North Korea, seeing as they're in the deepest crap if things get out of control?
