what Crudos said and North Korea has been threatening to nuke South Korea, Japan the US of A and whom ever they wanted to impress since the 1960's. i remember the "oceans of fire" comment from yesteryear.

if they wanted to be a pest, the only delivery system they have that would work is a shipping container. effective but not as chic as a giant flying phallic symbol.

The world is full of idiots, short sighted and just plain mean people - been that way since cavemen were wielding sticks with a hostile attitude. My opinion is that we will have self inflicted set backs (like a bad actor with a nuke, a banker with a bright idea or just a pig in a CAFO with the antibiotic-resistant sniffles). i just hope to not be at ground zero and be able to help my family through the incident, its fall out, the follow on effects and come out ahead in the recovery. - that may be overly optimistic but i would rather try and fail than guarantee the failure by inaction or ignorance.
Ok; so that's a long winded way of saying this has been going on for decades - DPRK vs RoK. The Eagle vs the Bear. Ottomans vs the Eastern Roman Empire, Lilliput vs Blefuscu ... it is more or less a constant. Can you point to something that makes this situation any more or less dangerous than the Cuban missile crisis? Be ready, be aware, continue on - i try and remember that luck favors the prepared.
