N. Korea approves nuclear strike on US

[cali]

40. you reallly need to inform yourself a wee bit better.

first of all, no fucking duh that NK is at war with SK. That's been their position for well over 60 years . Secondly, it is doubtful that China is amassing troops in support of North Korea.

Reports of China's massing troops on the border usually accompany the word "support," as in, openly supporting North Korea.

But that contradicts two things: China's "angry" statements on Kim Jong-Un's "bellicose rhetoric," and the location of all that nuclear material right across the border.

As one post from Chinese news site Global Times put it:

Even if North Korea's nuclear development is only targeted at the U.S., its nuclear programs will bring huge risks to China rather than the U.S. The third nuclear test in February was conducted only just over 100 kilometers away from China's northeast border.

Virtually every expert thinks it not possible for North Korea to launch a nuclear attack on the U.S. And if you don't think the U.S. has the capability to intercept anything they launch, you really haven't been paying attention.

The US Department of Defense said on Wednesday it would deploy the ballistic Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System (Thaad) in the coming weeks.

Yes, the President is undoubtedly paying close attention to this matter.

I'm not projecting anything. I'm informed and paying attention. It's difficult to know what kim jong un will do. He could, of course, act irrationally and launch a significant attack on South Korea and that would set off a chain of events that would be very bad indeed. And then there's the possibility that kim isn't fully in charge.

Anything is possible. The question to ask is: Is it more likely than not.
