North Korea's GDP is less that US citizens spend on their pets, yet they have developed ICBM technology and are planning on hitting NYC. I don't think so. The only nation interested in a war are the US,they are going for "hearts and minds" the same way blair did over the WMDs in Iraq. I recognise the same tactics being used.

This cycle has been going on through generations of north Korean leaders - they make wild threats in order to gain concessions. China knows this fine and well and will do nothing stronger apart from ok stricter sanctions.

This is going to come down to how gung-ho the US military chain of command are. I'm 100% certain Trump will give the order for anything if someone can convince him it's a great idea, and furthermore, he gets to say he came up with it on twitter.
