    Yeah, I was alive during the Sochi Olympics. And I've seen NK's nuke "tests"

    Forgive me if I'm not all that worried.

    Kim would be more successful using helium balloons to deliver is nukes. But given the cost of helium. He would have to starve more people ..
    Much of those people are probably pretty cold right about now 22F in Seoul ..

    Where would we be if the plane that hit the pentagon on 9/11, had hit congress instead? What happens if Kim gets lucky and hits D.C.? Or ISIS, or Iran, or Al Qaeda, or whoever else? Trump and the cons have created so many enemies, one is bound to get lucky.

    Yeah, they couldnt even make a decent snowblower, and we are supposed to believe their nukes will work.

    Also in a communist military like China, a quasi communist military like Russia, theyd all be scared to stick their necks out in fear of getting shot or locked up in a dark hole, they wouldnt act without checking with a dozen people. In the panic of the whole 15 minutes a nuclear war would last, Chinese and Russians would trip over themselves, fet vaporized by the US before they got a chance to fire most of their arsenal

    Nuclear weapons are maintained regularly the same as aircraft.

    The Russian Soyuz-U cargo vehicle resupplies the International Space Station since the US Space Shuttle was decommissioned.

    Handy if they ever start a war where people throw vacuum sealed soup packs at each other

    Kim is a product of his father. Taught him all he knows. Which has been make enough noise that it's easier for them to pay us than to talk about it. They have been very successful at extracting payments out of us to go away.

    We have had for years a successful anti missle missle system. We have deployed these to our allies through out the world.

    If we launch whatever strike we may choose, I'm not really worried about China. If they lost us as a consumer of thier goods and the loan payments we would no longer make to them, they would suffer greatly. China will dump NKorea before they put us in jeopardy.

    But China's a different story. Most of what WalMart makes is made there, and usually it works. Do you feel lucky?

    I saw a documentary. Russia makes some very hi tech stuff. They just sell it to niche markets and it's not stuff that the average consumer wants anyway. They are extremely capable. I'm not pro-Russia in any big way, but it would be foolish to underestimate them.

    Superpowers tend to pour their money into the military-industrial complex as their top spending priority at the expense of everything else. Even the UK, which is badly broke to say the least, agreed to spend £100 billion on a replacement for the Trident nuclear weapons system.

    Sadly things don't have to work properly for to provoke a reaction - raise a bullet-less hand gun at a US Police officer - the outcome is rarely rosy

    Both North Korea and America use the same propaganda against each other. We live in the best country in the world, we are glorious and free and that's why they hate us. It's the "Democratic" People's Republic of North Kora. They will say they are a free democracy. A country who only defends itself because the world is mean to them. The world lives in poverty and wants to destroy them because they are prof that kind of goverment works. Yet here in Kora we give you so much opportunity. You are ruled by a very wise man. Some would even say a man chosen by god to give us glory.

    That does not sound like Ameirca to you? We too are very arrogant. Islam hates us because we are "free" apparently. Evangelical Christians said Trump was from god a man on the level of Noah who was picked to lead.

    Most stories you hear about North Kora and the life there are not true. Yes they live in horrible poverty and censorship is the norm. Even a poor Cameraman who can shit inside is doing better then the average Korean. But remember falling into a blind allegiance for any country is the problem. Kora is a real place with real people who have emotions. Many of them understand the truth but they can not speak it. There is a huge black market for goods from the Western World. They do not all hate us.

    After the war, South Korea got a western-style democracy. North Korea got a Dear Leader. Take your pick!
