It would only result in the end of human civilisation but I hear there are deep water shrimp that have possibilities and cockroaches we can always count on them to rebuild.

NKorea vows to cancel Korean War ceasefire

this is not good.    Just how hard would it be for the US to take over NKorea?

It would likely result in many deaths. Though Korea has some nuclear weapons, they don't have a proven capability to launch them far if at all. They could try to hit South Korea or China or possibly just use them in their own country if they realize they are going to lose. Rebuilding the country and locking down all the nuclear weapons would be a ridiculously huge job in any event.

This is not a lightsaber. Nor a euphemism.

Lets examine the variables.

North Korea

1. Has Nuclear Weapons.

2. Has a substantial military.

3. Has weapons of many kinds pointed directly at South Korea and Japan which they would use at the slightest wiff of an invasion.

4. Is allied with China.

USA.

1. Has Nuclear Weapons.

2. Has already massively overspent on wars in the middle east.

3. Would not be able to raise the necessary troops without a draft. Which would be hugely unpopular.

3. Owes huge amounts of money to China so cannot afford to police another country without further credit.

China.

1. Has Nuclear Weapons.

2. Has the western world addicted to cheap consumer novelties  and strangled by debt.

3. Though sometimes annoyed by it is still allied to North Korea.

4. Has an enormous military and the funds to use it.

Mars

1. Has tripod walking machines armed with the black smoke and the heat ray and the capsules to deliver them.

2. Spreads Red Weed on landing which chokes the ecology of the planet.

3. Have no political affiliations only a thirst for blood.

4. Seemingly impervious to nuclear armaments though are vulnerable to biological weapons.

SOLUTION.

CHINA funds a USA mission to spread KOREAN flu to MARTIANS.

The spice must flow...

Come to think of it, MY sinks have two holes in each (one for the taps and one for the water to drain out).

Am I safe?

And there are still people, many people, calling for new nuclear reactors to be built in America. This is the very apex of insanity.

     ^^Well, since we're getting all political ;)      You could create the same sort of map for the molecules of a seagull turd off of Tokyo.         The fossil fuel power plants release a great deal of radioactive material, so unless your planning on living in a mudd hutt....                     Greater restrictions on fossil fuel lead to higher costs and disruptions of energy provision which leads to tens of thousands of deaths in the third world which would not otherwise have ocurred =( The environmental activist Watermellons are intensely DEPRAVED MASS MURDERERS.                The Fukashima thing was a terrible disaster but NOTHING excuses us from our responsibility to keep our eyes on the BIG PICTURE.
