You actually think we’d launch back?

I actually am of the opinion (just my own) that we are a completely corrupted “Paper Tiger”. That an attack like that would not responded to in the manner we assume from a time when we had an actual American government that protected its citizens…instead of hating them with a white-hot passion.

I am absolutely certain that we wouldn’t nuke North Korea under any circumstance. South Korea, Japan, China and Russia would get hit by fallout and South Korea might even get blast effects depending on where we hit. That’s not happening.

But even beyond that, I don’t think we have a government that would act that aggressively against a foreign enemy…against its own people, yes, but they could never get their act together to attack outside of that.

Depends on who is President...................

Interesting take - you may be right. We wouldn’t want to hurt anyone or anything...
