agreed I don't think people realize how serious the situation this is. North Korea have been preparing for this for decades and there people they believe he is a God they will not give up none of them this would not be any Iraq there military is a lot stronger than people realize aswell the US would probably win but at what cost? you said it yourself what if they can really hit the west coast with nukes no one really knows the strength of North Koreas nuclear programme some so called experts claim they are not able to hit the US yet but i have my doubts and what about South Korea and Japan there militaries put together including US troops is still not even close to the size of the North Korean army.

I personally believe a military solution would be a disaster if China can be convinced to put real economic sanctions on North Korea they will be forced to negotiate
