    Is anyone else thinking "Oh crap, world political disaster and possible failure ahead" or is this just me?
    I'm putting my money on a war of some sort between N. Korea and the United States within the next few years, anyone else?

    Within the next few years? Try within the next 12 months.

    Nope. A war implies that both sides stand a chance. US + allies of US > NK

    No dice, the shortest war in recorded history lasted a mere 38 minutes.

    Yeah but a SS-18 Mod 6 SATAN missile nuking North Korea would be considered a declaration of war, but the fact that SS-18s carry 10 independently guided warheads would ensure that the north half of Korea would cease to exist before they can even get their military into position.

    I give it 12-18 months - NUCLEAR WAR TIEM!

    But seriously, I live within a 20 mile radius of about 5 targets, mainly targetted by Russian nukes (we think).
    I am completely f***ed if nuclear war starts.

    No, actually the North Korean regime is supported by China.
    In case of war, if that country fights with North-Korea, we have the right to worry.
    Also, since China is an extremely powerful economic and industrial power (look at all the products you own that are "Made in China"), even without fights, our economy would take a serious stroke.

    Not necessarily, China has become less and less supportive of North Korea they did not mourn his death nearly as much as they mourned his father.

    Every country in the world that has nukes will fire them if one nuke gets fired. It's simple.
    Every country will fire in a chain, if North Korea fire, USA fire, then Russia will probably fire, etc.

    Holy s**t EDIT: They just fired a short-range test missile as a 'warning'. We. Are. Doomed. What if America do the same, just to say 'hey, look out Korea', then North Korea starts firing proper nukes, then we all die. D:
