Why would China want a nuclear war?

Do they think they can win?

What do we do? Watch them build 200 nukes that can reach our shores?

I know what you’re saying (well i do now) but what’s the answer

Kim Un needs to have an inexplicable accident or health problem. It doesn’t even have to be fatal. Just enough to sow suspicions in the upper ranks and let them kill each other.

That happens so RARELY in real life.

These dictators are pretty good at holding power.

You’d think one would be dying every other day, but that’s mostly the guys under the dictator :)

Is Kim even the one in charge, or a figurehead?

Remember, Hirohito wasn’t in charge of Japan, it was Tojo. Who is North Korea’s ‘Tojo’?

Perhaps fat boy isn’t the target, but a few of his henchmen are. Generate factions. Human assets won’t be able to get near them, but events can be generated. Houses could burn. Vehicles could crash. Whatever the event, so long as some “evidence” points to a rival.

But you get the gist.

“WHY WAIT till we’re attacked.”

We won’t wait. Kim is a dead man walking but he just doesn’t know it yet.

North Korea isn’t going to be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. When he made the choice to build a bomb and a missile to throw it he signed his own warrant.

The never ended Korean War will come to an extremely violent and quick end that will have very little collateral damage. Norks are advised to keep their distance from Little Fat Boy

Everyone is getting whipped up by the media and Trump’s tweets, calm down. This hysteria is nonsense and downright dangerous.

Too many headline readers are completely ignorant of the NK capabilities. NK must be having a big laugh at all our headlines.

The most powerful NK missile, only in theory, could reach about Kansas City, with no payload bigger than a jar of kimchee.

They would have to have another missile stage added on to provide more fuel in boost.

Their best missiles so far are all “truck” launched. They don’t have a truck big enough for a bigger missile. If they did, a bigger heavier missile would get damaged joyriding around NK.

They would have to go to a silo launch with onsite liquid fueling. That’s what every other nuclear power does that wants nukes delivered.

NK has no silos, if they did we would know. Also, all of their orbital apogee missiles have burned up on re-entry, they don’t have adequate heat shields, yet.

Let’s all calm down.

Your posts are pretty sharp since I’ve known you so I will hope you are spot on with this one too.

Well, since you’ve known me. You’ve been around a little longer :)

China and the USSR were isolated way before Nixon, Stalin laid that groundwork. Nixon/Kissinger were short-sighted nation builders where everything backfired, especially during the Clinton regime.
