Nuclear war Presumably I guess humanity will just have to hold its collective breath and hope the leaders have some sense to avoid nuclear war. I just do not understand what North Korea has to gain from their weaponry. In a best case scenario they do what exactly? They can't even attempt a strike without being taken apart. So what if they target and hit a few targets (Seoul, USA, Japan, all unlikely), they still lose at the end and badly. Let's just say it would be a very quick war... (unless Russia and China want to inexplicably get involved) Surely they would have some sense to know not to take the rest of world down with them? They aren't nearly as insane as the media has made them look.
