Thick with fat.

We don't know for 100% sure whether Kim is a cunning bluffer or a dangerous moron, but sadly what we see seems to tell the worse option by far could be real. I'm sure he'd never attack USA, but he could try horrible things against SK or Japan, as his grampy already did, even if he luckily had no nukes.
The best solution isn't attacking NK, though, it would be that China organised the killing of Kim and a bunch large enough of his less reasonable generals. USA, as powerful as they can be, just can't do it, they haven't enough infiltrators in the country, let alone ones trained for such operation.

The US for over a decade couldn't assassinate Saddam and had to resort to manufacturing a war to remove him so how are they going to strike at Kim when they don't know where he is in the country he doesn't exactly advertise his location to the west and this is a man expecting trouble to come his way, secondly like any other regime all the leaders aren't going to be in one place, just because you get Kim doesn't mean the fighting stops. US learned this the hard way in Somalia when they thought by taking out the militant leader it would all come to an end instead the hornets nest kept on heating up.

The second that bomb drops on NK both SK and Japan will become bomb sites with in hours.

So we should sit on our thumbs and wait for the first move. Okay. 

South Korea and Japan are huge economies, massive attacks against major cities would cause a collapse of the global economy. Seoul being wiped out is a bigger deal than Lehman Brothers going away. 

There likely would be more Americans killed as well than 9/11 + Pearl Harbor combined, there's are 30,000+ American citizens in South Korea alone, not factoring in large American populations in Japan/Okinawa. 

You are talking about a singular event that would basically be worse than the 2008 financial collapse + 9/11 + Pearl Harbor + the nuclear bombing of Japan in WW2 ... lol ... this no small thing. 

If they could have gotten at Kim Jong Un so easily, I guess my question is why haven't they done it already? They are waiting for ... what exactly? If it was easy to get to him, dude would be dead already. 

And if he's going to bomb them anyway, we're waiting because?...

North Korea is Chinas only ally in that area, US is buddy buddy with Japan and South Korea, China will never abandon NK unless they did a direct strike on US mainland.

He won't bomb them anyway because there's a good chance he likes being alive and living like a king.

Once NK got nuclear technology, there was no turning the clock back and that IMO is George W. Bush's fault for pushing them to do this. 

Now you can't really do shit. You can sanction them and that's about it. World community is likely simply going to have to get used to the idea of a nuclear NK. 

At least Obama was proactive with Iran in getting a deal done (all the fucking bozos who argued against that deal ... well gee look at fucking NK ... is that better?). 

The way you put it would make reasonable for Russia to demand 3 Tri USD a year to stop them from nuking USA as a whole because they certainly have nukes and missiles to deliver then anywhere in the USA. There is a reason you don't negotiate with kidnappers or blackmailers.

I know lucario is a pokemon, but Lucas is a brazilian name and Rio a city, so you can understand why the confusion on you being brazilian.

Yes USA have bullied a lot of countries. Nope I didn't miss it, but still venezuela does it weekly and threaten to invade USA every month or so.

History is YET to show it (perhaps), as far as I know the area among the tech republic (and all the variations it had) would have a nuke over there, also Crimea region probably have some as well. I don't know for sure what legacy nukes each ex-URSS region kept.

Yes the math is simple, dictators and the like kill their own people, exploit then and use nukes to negotiate their continued exploitation but by some reason it is better to keep those guys suffering for another 50y than risking war.

So we shift the goal posts to do that only threatens from USA count, ok.

Have they been acting against a perceived threat for the past 60 years? And aren't they a perceived threat to other countries? And yet SK haven't launched nukes over their sky "to test" their power.

Hard choice between having NK as ally or going full war against USA to defend NK.
