This is a very difficult and ethical question where we have to decide who should (and shouldn't die). It's a situation that's far from simple, so anyone discussing the topic should keep an open mind. That's all. |
I’m guessing your use of "nuke" is an exaggeration but in case it’s not, the US will not use any nukes. The North seems to think that obtaining a Nuke is the only way it can retain power. In reality it is going to be the quickest way for it to lose it. Russia and China do not want to see N Korea with weapons like that and are very much infuriated that N Korea is testing them. They do not however want war because they see the US as establishing a base of operations on their borders if the South takes over the North. They also do not want an influx of people from N Korea to flood over their borders. In the end, N Korea will end up striking by accident IMO. One of the missiles they fire towards Japan or over the south will fail and fall into a populated area killing people. That will in turn lead to war.
