Okay heres a fact, mutually assured destruction in a nuclear war with america on one side is no longer a thing, america has the nuclear power to destroy china, albeit with losses on the side and china knows this, you are being paranoid in the sense that north korea pulls hi-jinks similar to this often, and there is not gonna be a world war 3

It doesn't matter that we can, what matters is all the sudden everybody with a missile has their hand over the big red button. Think if the chaos the earth would fall into if china was destroyed. You're talking about one of the most important exporters and largest economies and population size in the entire world. A country disappearing isn't something that just happens. Quit being shortsighted, this isn't a problem you can solve with a well placed nuke. There will not be mutually assured destruction, but you can sure as hell bet that every single country has the potential to turn against its neighbors right now, it's a time to decide what allies are the most important.

When has bombing the shit out of a country ever solved anything? I don't know a lot about US allies, but the UK are very close with South Korea, India and Japan. China are on good terms with the US at the moment, but we don't know what goes on behind closed doors, they could very easily have an alliance with North Korea. All of this is looking a lot like the start of WWI, albeit with more powerful weapons and bigger countries. We could very easily end up in another cold war here if leaders don't handle this carefully.

I'm not saying america should nuke, i'm saying china knows america could nuke, if n. korea launchs any bombs actually intent to land on foreign soil, everybodys gonna be on their ass in a minute

You guys dont understand. You fire a nuclear weapon of mass destruction, you violate the number one law. Yes, we will be fine a half hour after they fire it, but the implications and effects that it has will destroy too many lives, and too many countries. Quit being shortsighted and think of the big picture. We attack NK after a attempted nuclear attack, and suddenly the soviets and "communist" China are pissed. Think BIG PICTURE. Not only by firing a nuclear weapon do you potentially destroy an ecosystem and kill a bunch of people, but you tip the scales, the balance of power in the world. Quit talking about it like they try, and we squish them. America is a civilized country, actions would be taken, but as off his rocker as Kim is, he knows that we will play straight to his game, and not respond in turn. BIG PICTURE. This would not be a small scale event, that ends after we blow some stuff up. This is potentially the start of a new World War. Prepare accordingly.

Bro, learn to fucking history. The Soviet Union hasn't been around for 20 years and the Russians aren't even allies with the north Koreans. My opinion on you just fell off a cliff at that comment.

Also no one said anything regarding it, which makes me assume that the majority of posters in this thread have no real opinion on the matter given that they don't even realize that the ussr isn't around anymore.

Double post. Some South Koreans sneak INTO north Korea. My father has a friend who's son did that. Weird as fuck.
