The North Korean Situation

Because we're all grown-ups who care about grown up things like an unhappy North Korean bloke threatening to kick off World War 3 I'm surprised there hasn't already been a discussion about this.

Thoughts?

Personally, I don't see the North really kicking anything off. No-one really wants a fight to kick off. Kim Jong-Un is just running his mouth and propaganda machine in an attempt to consolidate his power in the north. Because let's face it, he's a 29 year old rich kid who was brought into the job at the last minute because his big brother was caught trying to sneak into Disneyland.

If North Korea thinks of doing anything, the they just might not get very for in succeeding, know the opposition.

The opposition is irrelevant. If they launch a nuclear missile it will destroy a large area and kill many people. They can lose the war later but the damage itself will be done. :-/

This. I wish more people would consider this in all the lousy memes and gifs I've seen on the subject.

I don't think China wants to get their hands dirty because of North Korea's incompetence. Even if missiles are fired, I'm pretty sure people KNOWS they should focus on the N.Korean government and not the whole country. Defenseless people slaughtered is not the intention I hope.

Even then, N.Korea may not even last as long, as long as they react first. U.S and its allies can't be that stupid to be roped into counter-fire.

I'm hoping that its just all talk from N.Korea and nothing else. Hate to see what would happen if they carried out the threats :S

That is what a majority of people is hoping. Last thing we would want is the West getting into first fire, then China getting involved...oh boy.

You're right,to be honest when I first heard that war may start again I was like oh crap! Then Kim became the laughing stock of the internet and I completely forgot about the attack. My town could be bombed right now. This is now serious (NOT SRS) business.
