Yeah, I assume that they don't plan on using Nukes to start wars. I hope not. Having nuke power gives them a defense and deters us or another superpower from attacking. Probably the same reason Iran wants Nukes. Not to attack Israel but just to keep from being attacked.

Haha...didn't it have some great theme music to New York burning? They should have used the Gangnam Style music. North Korea could hit the west coast quicker than the east coast.

No country wants nukes to use them. It is the same thing we went through with the Soviets during the cold war. Mutually assured destruction. Countries just want them as a playing card.

The coolest thing is that South America stays out of all of this (except for Venezuela). Brazil is on it's way to becoming a new age superpower in this world.

North Korea may be able to hit us with a nuke or two, but there wouldn't be mutually assured destruction. There would be assured destruction of North Korea, but the worst they could do to us is level a city or two. I'm not minimizing what a loss like that would be to us, but they would suffer far worse.

well the fact that China basically owns the US at this point they might have a lot to gain. Wipe out a huge US military presence in South Korea and our military is spread very thin I think they would have a lot to gain.

China sees us as their goose that's laying golden eggs. They don't want us going anywhere.

You have a point, without us China goes into a deep depression

This kind of thing happens when you have a shiftless n-word for a president.

The Koreans know they can get one over on the not so bright high yellow Commander and Chief.
