At some point in the future of the history of the world, the United States needs to stop being Santa Claus and Policeman for the world.
NK attacked SK...not the USA. From what I hear, NK has nearly nothing, can't feed their people...how long could they last with a counterattack?
The problem with the USA getting involved - well the number ONE problem right now is obama - but the big problem is we always just give the enemy a slap on the wrist, when what they need is some teeth knocked out.
The wrist slapping just empowers them - it tells them you're either afraid, or don't know how to fight. But that probably won't come into play with obama, as being the liberal progressive mafia mouse he is, he'll try to buy them off.
That's what most of this is about; NK has learned obama and they are hurting for money...so, it's more like a request for new handout, than an attack.

NK has nearly nothing, can't feed their people...how long could they last with a counterattack? There are a billion Chinese soldiers, funded by the American consumer, just waiting for the go word.

“From what I hear, NK has nearly nothing, can’t feed their people...how long could they last with a counterattack?”
NK spends around 70% of its GDP on their military. Their military was the 5th largest until we destroyed Saddams. Now they are the 4th. They are backed by the largest, China.
They take the food they have and feed the army, letting civilians starve to death.
Whatever the status of their nuclear program, NK has extensive stockpiles of chemical and biological agents. They also have the systems to deliver those agents to anyplace in South Korea or Japan.
