    I’d trust that the US’s missile defenses could pretty easily stop North Korea’s entire arsenal. They’re not getting anywhere else China/Russia/whoever also launched a strike, at which point we’re all fucked anyway.

    Nuclear war is bad for business, I really, really doubt China’s interested in starting one on NK’s whim

      When the CCP pops the tombstone out in half a decade to join Putin’s failed USSR 2.0, they’ll be leaving little ol’ Un in his land island all alone and orphaned of big bullies to ally with. Thats when shit is gonna get fucky. NK doesn’t do business.
