    Talking on a global scale, not you personally, kinda. I also don't mean people who are interested in claiming the land after the northern moon-rune people have been nuked.

    Like AFAIK China has a few trade agreements with them, but NK has threatened them so I doubt they'd care if it got deleted from history. Like imo NK is so secluded and has distanced itself from the rest of the world so much so that, it'd be like a suspected school-shooter in high school making threats and then one day he gets hit by a truck and dies. Nobody at the school says anything but everyone is thinking "what a relief"

    I mean, we're talking millions of people dying so in that sense yeah. Would anyone miss their regime? No, probably not. China would be pissed simply because that would likely mean an expansion of S. Korea who is a close U.S. ally. They don't want more U.S. influence in the region. Russia would probably be irritated for the same reason.

    Yeah but NK have distanced themself from the world so much that that they've dehumanized themselves to the point where it feels humane to do it. like anywhere else in the world if someone said "push this button and a nuke goes there" like even if it wiped out the entirety of ISIS i'd be like "no" but if it were a case of "press this button and entirety of NK is ashes" i'd just press it.

    I think it'd be the same reaction i'd have to some c---- for brain religious cult doing a mass suicide. i'd just go "heh"

    China should be taking care of them. But something needs to be done. I would first target their leader. If we go nuclear we taking a huge risk.. however we can't sit back and let them keep plotting to attack us.. so I'll support whatever our great leader decides to do.

    Well

    1. A bunch of innocent people would die.
    2. NK has nuclear capabilities. This puts our allies and military bases at risk for a retaliatory response.
    3. It's the start of world war 3 potentially. China, Russia, and quite frankly every other country won't be happy about this.
    4. Would almost certainly end the NPT.
    5. The environmental effects would potentially be devastating for our allies SK.
    6. Japan might feel some type of way about this.
    7. It would hurt our standings in the international community. I mean we're already hypocrites but violation of international laws & treaties of this magnitude would certainly damage our reputation beyond repair.

    Nuking the entire country isn't something that would happen, but possibly Pyongyang and their main cities.

    And it sounds like a good idea and like it would result in less deaths than a possible world war breaking out, but the second we fire at them they'll let h--- loose on Seoul, and that wouldn't be in our best interest.

    I don't care at this point. This presidency is so f---ing boring and repetitive and CNN keeps claiming breaking news and nothing is happening. It's just Russia Russia Russia f---ing Russia all day and nothing actually seems to be getting done. Nuke the little b------. Or at least send Dennis rodman over there with a poisoned d-ck.

    China is well aware of North Korea's bs. The reason why China props NK up is because if their government collapses and their system collapses there will almost 100% positively be North Korean immigrants attempting to go into China by the millions due to widespread famine and economic collapse.

    Outside of NKs leadership the people for the most part are hindu cows, they have no perception of the world outside of the limited view their leadership gives them. Libya and Syria in comparison have a f--- ton more access to social media and are able to form contacts from anywhere on the globe. North Koreans are stuck in 1984.

    Say we nuked the three most populous NK cities into ashes and took out their leadership, theres still millions who would survive and flee. Also we have to take into account the power of the Nuclear weapons we use which would likely be 10x stronger than what we used in WW2. This could adversely affect our south korean compatriots. There's a lot of factors but I truly dont think Russia Japan or SK would give a s--- if North Korea continues to threaten us and advance their weaponry and we decide to do a nuclear first strike. The world knows NK is trying to force our hand. China also wont have the balls to step up to us, people will move on very quickly but China will have to deal with one h--- of a refugee crisis and they'll almost certainly demand that we try to foot the bill for some of that.

    Countries like China and Russia seem to be waiting for the US to put one foot out of place to give them an excuse to attack.

    If the US took out NK I'm pretty sure it would be the beginning of the end.

    China and Russia don't want to attack the U.S over some tiny Korean peninsula. The U.S doesn't want to go to war with other superpowers itself over some tiny Korean peninsula. The North Korean government itself aren't some muslim nutjobs who don't care whether they survive or not. Survival is actually their priority and they know that nuclear weapons is the only thing that keeps the U.S from giving them good old fashioned democracy. They would never outright attack another country first if it genuinely risks their leadership. They wouldn't give up their nuclear programs because they know what happens to countries who don't have anything to threaten the U.S with like Iraq, Libya etc. Their nuclear program is the only thing keeping them alive now.

    North Korea is just a remnant of the cold war past that never moved on even though China and Russia eventually did. Now it's become a thorn in the shoe for pretty much everyone. But what can you do? Just leave them be to avoid trouble and let them inevitably get more advanced weapons or just bite the bullet and take them out regardless of the possible catastrophic consequences? All of this would be much easier if the U.S, China and Russia could come to an agreement on how to deal with it. And I don't think that idea is too far fetched anymore tbh as long as China and Russia know that North Korea wouldn't become a powerful U.S puppet like Japan and South Korea

    No but it would be very unconstitutional for North Korea to be randomly nuked. We don't know the long term damage that a nuclear bomb could have on earths air/atmosphere either. There's just too many dangers in nuclear bombs going off.
