China is politically bound to North Korea if a foreign country invades without Chinese consent. I am not about to die because of World War III. China needs to secretly/indirectly aid/fund a North Korean civilian revolution. It's the only way things will change while keeping the rest of the planet relatively stabile.

They won't do anything, even if they did the US would wipe them out pretty quickly

How many times they have tried this and failed miserably

Would China actually rush to defend North Korea if other countries declared war on them for potentially sending a nuke though? Surely they don't ACTUALLY like North Korea

People trying to scare members in here and **** . West coast yall have nothing to worry about U.S has anti air defenses lined across the border and in Hawaii. Also that wasteland of a country wouldn't dare shoot us with a missile no matter how many time they threaten.

They've been "secretly" testing bombs, and I doubt it's for giggles.

Exactly.

Have you ever heard of the Cold War? This happens all the time. Countries like to flex their muscles, and show that they mean business. Russia do this, and we're like OK cool you got your **** together we get it. North Korea? Everyone knows that broke ass country is in shambles. Even if it's not for giggles, they are not a serious threat the the power of the U.S.

Time for China to shut them down.

The sad fact is, China and US are business "allies" and China is an ally to NK, we go into NK, and we will be in trouble.
China is a huge powerhouse that no one wants to lose connection to, and that's a sad reality. Until China actually takes a stand to help NK citizens, I doubt anyone will lift a finger.

It's quite amusing though, that NK being as small as it is, no one will invade until China does so.

North Korea obviously has no chance of ever winning a war, they'd lose within a month, but what's utterly depressing and scary is the sheer amount of damage they could do to Seoul with their artillery. I hate thinking about it.

Y'all talking about the US being at risk, jesus talk about self centered South Korea and to a lesser extent Japan are the ones who would take the brunt of another Korean War the US faces no risk.

Stop it. People are allowed to be more worried about the country they live in and the effects it would have on their immediate lives, and there is nothing wrong with that. It doesn't mean we don't worry about South Korea or Japan (which, yes, would OBVIOUSLY be hit significantly harder)

Cool, despite the sanctions, NoKor still managed to develop their own missile technology.

Scary
