1. They have no missiles capable of lifting their current nuclear weapon.
2. Who cares if they can hit America? Maybe a good thing?
3. N Korea are gay.

China are Korea closest allys.
Any nuclear weapon fired across the planet will probably be intercepted over the pacific ocean.

China are with the N.Koreans. In the Korean war, the North surrendered under the Chinks, and the South the yanks.
If North invades South, i can see it going off with China and the USA.

i realised that but throughout this crisis they seemed to have taken the stance of being against the testing, no doubt if it escalated they would back N Korea

if war does start, it wont be N.Korea who drop the bomb, it will be China... and it wont be an A-Bomb, but most likely a H-Bomb...

yes china do have Nuclear capabilities, but are no threat. however korea does have the potential to stir it up out there between the koreans/japs/chinks and yanks. could get messy.

China are up to something because they only agreed to the UN sanctions when a chapter about milatry intervention was scrubbed out....

He's saying that because he believes in WW3 we will destroy everything and put ourselves back into a stone age

Taken from Wikipedia
The Korean War, which took place from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953, was a war between North Korea and South Korea. As neither side surrendered and no treaty was signed concluding the war, the two countries are technically still at war. When the conflict began, North and South Korea existed as provisional governments competing for control over the Korean Peninsula, after the division of Korea.
Other combatants on the side of the North Korean communists were the People's Republic of China, supported by Soviet combat advisors, military pilots, and weapons. South Korea, was supported by United Nations forces, principally from the United States, although many other nations also contributed personnel.
Basically, China and Soviets North, UN South.
Could be a big argument if it starts.

FFS.
Rationalise your fears!!
What bomb?! What would they bomb??? Military target? wouldnt have any effect as there are too many to choose from unless they bombed them all at once and why again? Invasion? Got an army ready for it? Long way to america.... Civilian? WHY?! Signing your own death warrant!
There has to be a point in dropping it in the first place....
Youd have to be unbeleivably fucking stupid to drop a bomb in an act of war, it effectivly gives the victim's country the right to use all means nessecary to retaliate. And if they were to choose america, then bye bye 
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BOMB ANYONE. OPEN YOUR EYES!

i have no fear, nor do i care about WW3 or 4 or 99...
i just think, given the way things are, that china will be the main ones to retaliate in a way if N.Korea do start something or someone starts on them...
Why else would China fund them as they do?

The USA have 10,000 Nuclear Warheads, N Korea have about 3.
Why would they risk it?

i think this is exactly how things are going to pan out in the near future 
End of the World
i wholefully doubt it'll ever go nuclear, but the way i see it is that if North Korea are backed further into a corner they're going to lash out somehow, most likely a conventional attack to the South, which COULD bring larger forces back into the equation.

They would have used up their entire stock of nuclear warheads in the first attack

well, presuming they HAD 3, they now have 2, and they won't be 100% sure if they'll even work
