What the US should do is a surprise air display...just send all the B52's to arrive together over his head, when he isn't expecting it! Bomb them with millions of photographs of what the bomb can do, should they want to follow their leader and allow him to take "pre-emptive" nuclear strike

Any war in SEA involving the USA is a benefit to Thailand, as it will surely again be the "Rest and Relaxation" R&R destination for the fighting troups, just as it was in the past. The Vietnam war built Pattaya, and contributed greatly to the income of many people in Thailand. The garment business now in Bangkok can trace its roots back to the war, and the tailor shops outside the gates of the US air bases.

It's all just hot air. The weather in NK now is freezing, so Kim Jong Un is trying to warm himself up.

There's no doubt in my mind, the United States, and the UK, could destroy anyone who decided to attack South Korea. My biggest concern would be the thousands of Commandos in North Korea, capable of jumping into South Korea, and arming friends on the ground in the south. The first two days of a war with North Korea, would be disasterous. If nukes are used by the north Koreans, the loss of life would be astronomical. Let's hope for peace talks and a prosperous unified Korea. There's nothing to gain by war.

They are laughing in the face of the UN.The UN is all talk it is week it has very little power.Russia and China will veto any action. Neither of them are capable of a serious confrontation so any military action would be the US and the UK with the others tagged on holding there towels.

after the first strike, you can say "gone in 60 seconds" to the military targets in NK.

The Koean war, Vietnam, ww1&2 etc were not started entirely on the basis that we have been widely led to believe, so what makes you think tat this opportunity for US military spending is what it seems. They are looking to 'pivot' back to Asia after all.

Is it even remotely likely that they will attack? Has Iran attacked anyone? Did Libya or Syria??

NK: We have practically nothing to loose and you have all the Billionaires and great life to loose.
We have bet our last cent on the Nuclear, nothing to eat and no future to look forward to.
Kim Jong Un to Obama: So, let's play Poker... call me bluff!
