He does realize that if he does something really stupid, Pyongyang could be turned into a large glass bowl...right?

Right?

You realize that might be an improvement

The prospect of nuclear war with North Korea isn’t even funny. This guy isn’t even 30 and is said by some to be impetuous and impulsive youth. MAD deterrence only works on the assumption that both parties are rational, clear thinking and want to live, and I wouldn’t be quite so sure about the first two...

Considering if they had food to actually feed their army, they could be a threat...COULD is the keyword.

Could be, but won’t be, and he knows it.Zero certainly isn’t going to nuke anybody.

Sure. We can use those weapons the Chinese built with the fake parts. That’ll get us far.

You must be joking, or you're knowledge of geography or nuclear weapons (or both) is very lacking.

I know it's fun to fantasize about nuking North Korea, but it's not going to happen no matter what they do, and North Korea knows it. We're not going to engage in wholesale slaughter of civilians, and we're not going to do anything that has any kind of risk of fallout/contamination ending up in China or South Korea. The problems in Japan after the big tsunami, where nuclear contamination from damaged reactors spread farther than expected, has reinforced that.

Nuclear weapons are not going to be used unless our survival/existence is truly threatened. North Korea is not a threat to our survival/existence. They might be a threat to South Korea, but it would do South Korea no good to use nukes since they could pay a heavy price.
