Not ones with nuclear weapons. Or one that manufactures all the toys that keep Americans happy.



That’s true, but are they really going to lob their two nukes at Maui just because we drone bomb a few wires? The Kims like being alive.


The Kims are likely the only reliable bet for people who would actually survive a nuclear war and the following nuclear winters, if the book Nuclear War by Anne Jacobsen is to be believed. They're the only ones that have built their bunkers deep enough (under mountains) that modern thermo nuclear weapons wouldn't destroy them, and they have years of supplies down there.


No. At least not because of that. But if they drone bomb Seoul, would you continue the escalation? Because the escalation can lead to that.

Also DPRK is threatening Seoul and Japan, not the USA.
