Quentin, I am more concerned that if North Korea attacks the US, Obama and his party will do nothing. "It'll just make things worse!" "We cannot risk things getting out of hand." "The entire human species is at stake. We can absorb the damage done and minimize our losses." "We'd be killing their children as well as their leaders, we cannot do this!" This is what I see, in reaction to a Kim Strike. Also, as you rightly mentioned: do you really think that if the USA use nuke against those countries, China and Russia (and others who have the bomb) will do nothing ? lay back and enjoy it, maybe ;-D ? I am more worried about what our elites do than what China and Russia do. I don't see this as a hollow threat, or a paper tiger, Quentin, as this article indicates. Its from Reuters, which is a progressive news agency. I never post stuff from Fox, or some blog, when I engage in polly discussions, because its more meaningful when the news comes from "ones' own."

Do you disagree?

My idea, should you care, is that if one goes to war, half measures and quarter measures end up quite badly. If one can achieve peace, justice, and free beer, without doing violence to one's fellow primates, this is a great thing. But it is not assured, that simply because one tries a peaceable track, that it will even work. So, if one fights, why hold back?
