North Korean Military is Cleared for Nuclear Attack on U.S.!

I highly doubt North Korea would attempt anything as foolish as a nuclear strike. The only "ally" North Korea really has is China, and even they have urged them to quit making trouble. If they did send a nuke over to us, I'd like to believe we have something to intercept it on its course. Probably every country with nuclear weapons (U.S., U.K. France, Russia, India) bar China and would be willing to send one right back at them. So the U.S. is fine, and we get rid of two problems at once--North Korea and global warming. It's literally North Korea versus the world, and I don't see the world losing this one.

NK is in trouble as its allies aren't willing to help them. The countries with nuclear power are US, UK, France, China, Russia, Germany, North Korea, India, Pakistan, Israel (believed to have), Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy and Turkey.
You forgot Iran... And Spain. And Cuba.
China warns against troublemaking on Korean Peninsula
By Ron Popeski and Andrew Roche, Reuters
BEIJING/SEOUL — China on Sunday warned against "troublemaking" on its doorstep, in an apparent rebuke to North Korea.
The North, led by 30-year-old Kim Jong-un, has been issuing vitriolic threats of war against the United States and U.S.-backed South Korea since the United Nations imposed sanctions in response to its third nuclear weapon test in February.
North Korean officials told diplomats late last week to consider leaving Pyongyang because of the tension, but embassies appeared to view the appeal as more rhetoric and staff have stayed put.
North Korea continues to voice aggressive warnings toward the U.S. and South Korea, leaving both countries concerned over what may come next from North Korea. NBC's Peter Alexander reports.
China, North Korea's sole financial and diplomatic backer, has shown growing irritation with Pyongyang's warnings of nuclear war.
Advertise | AdChoicesChinese President Xi Jinping, addressing a forum on the southern island of Hainan, did not name North Korea but said no country "should be allowed to throw a region and even the whole world into chaos for selfish gain".
Stability in Asia, he said, "faces new challenges, as hot spot issues keep emerging and both traditional and non-traditional security threats exist".
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi expressed similar frustration in a statement late on Saturday, relating a telephone conversation with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
"We oppose provocative words and actions from any party in the region and do not allow trouble making on China's doorstep," Wang said, according to a ministry statement on its website.
On Sunday, the ministry expressed "grave concern" at rising tension and said China had asked North Korea to "ensure the safety of Chinese diplomats in North Korea, in accordance with the Vienna Convention and international laws and norms".
China's embassy, it said, was "understood" to be operating normally in Pyongyang.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, addressing the Hainan forum, said avoiding conflict on the peninsula was vital. "There, any aggression is a threat to the interests of every country in the region," she said.
British Foreign Minister William Hague said North Korea's nuclear ambitions had to be taken seriously.
Interviewed by Sky News, he said the international response "should also be very clear, very united and calm at all times because it's important not to feed that frenetic rhetoric that we've seen over the last few weeks".
Switzerland's Foreign Ministry offered to mediate, saying it was "always willing to help find a solution, if this is the wish of the parties, such as hosting meetings between them".
Kim, the third member of his dynasty to rule North Korea, is thought to have spent several years in Switzerland being educated under a pseudonym. He took over in December 2011 after the death of his father Kim Jong-il, who confronted South Korea and the United States throughout his 17-year rule.

Look, I don't think Kim Jon Un is stupid enough to get his country destroyed without causing damage. They'll have a plan, and as secretive as the country is I wouldn't be suprised if the had massive nuclear capacity on their hands, bigger than what they have now.
But really, I doubt they will start anything anytime soon, because nothing is favoring them (to our knowledge).

Like omahanime said, China warned North Korea, but now they're in a little predicament. Just today and earthquake happened, and killed around 157 and injured around 5,700 more. How can they come back from that? Here is the news story. I hope countries do something to help, because North Korea might be able to take advantage of this situation. Maybe some supplies could be sent in for quick recovery.
Like everyone has been joking about for the past few weeks, it most likely won't happen, but we can't forget to take these jokes with a grain of salt, as a war could definitely erupt from all of this, and that's the last thing we need in this economy.
Kim Jong-un has more guts than his dad or grandpa. I am saying this as a fellow Communist.
What he has in guts he lacks in brains.
That said, I don't think he has guts, more like a deathwish with a side of paranoia.

Sorry to post on an old thread, but since their little "Nuke the US" thread didn't work, they've decided to imprison a foreign citizen for a stupid reason..
