Probably not going to happen. I hope it doesn't.

Worse that ll probably happend is north korea launches nukes at south korea/japan, if america decides to invade or bomb them.

There could be millions and millions of deaths, but it probably wont kick off a world world or anything like it.

Would still suck, so yeah I hope it doesnt happend.

I really hope not. As much as I don't like Kim, there are millions of innocent lives on the line. It's not worth it.



The good thing is, Kim will certainly die. The question is wether through a foreign bomb or of old age.

so many uninformed responses on this thread.

Kim says shit like this because it is one of the tools he uses to control his own people and look strong internally. I doubt he has any intention of carrying it out. He did not grow up in isolation like the rest of the people in his country did. He knows if he has any chance of survival in any conflict he cannot look like the bad guy. He knows if the US looks to be the aggressor China will pledge their support to him which would likely cause us to de-escalate.

If he goes and nuke something in response to an insult NO ONE will support them and once China backs out he is done.

My god, some people really do believe his bluff. NK's leadership isn't stupid - it is doing everything it can to survive. They want Trump to respond to what they're doing, but they know how far they can push. But alas, some people scare easily. Remember after 9/11 when everyone wanted to bomb the sh!t out of the Middle East (Howard Stern said it), then later on the population turned around and said "oh, killing is bad... don't kill!". Once things pass, people realize that their response is over the top most of the time. 

 



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I honestly don't understand all the worrying and attention about North Korea. The chances are that they won't do anything because if they did China wouldn't support them and they would lose in a war. Kim probably knows that too because he has made threats like this before and nothing has come out of them. The sad thing is that I feel bad for the North Koreans that live under terrible conditions and how they are treated by their government. Its sad and I wish there was something that can be done to help them. Even if a war were to start many of them would be forced to join the military and lots of civilians would die. Its like there's nothing that can be done to help them. Hopefully the next leader after Kim does something to help the people and improve NK relationship with the rest of the world.

I do wonder how this conflict will end, both leaders are hot headed and history has showed us that that combination doesn't really tent to work.

With the way NK's government is set up, I doubt it. Something drastic would need to happen otherwise it will be someone with the same motivates as Kim.
