I know some people dont like to hear this but our influence and actions over the decades towards many of theses countries have directly contributed to theses countries seeking nukes as a deterrent for what they see the USA and many western countries as interventionist. even China is expanding into the sea of china based on this
North Korea conventional forces are a bigger threat then their nuke program is now
But right now neither Trump or Kim looks like either one is going to back down. but Kim has the Advantage he can provoke with out attacking just test launch some missiles get Trump to respond with a armed strike like in Syria and he wins in the short term and a lot of people perish .. and the US wont come out this with just a bloody nose But this administration has limited choices seeing they dont like Diplomatic solutions. and neither does their base

Obama didn't provoke them for 8 years and the NORKS shelled SK, sunk a ROK Navy Ship, and worked on their capacity to launch Nukes/Chem to Japan and eventually US.

We've all seen the night time pictures of the area at night w/no lights in NK. Supposedly the pop. is much shorter than in SK bc of the years of malnutrition.

Yes - the moderates were surely killed. Can't count on a Coup or you could say the last 15 years we were waiting on a coup
