The US and North Korea -unfair fight -but it's a stones throw from China and Russia - WW3?

Here is the scenario - Canada get struck with a nuke from Iceland you the USA are going to get very ill very soon your drinking water will be green and your citezens will die.





You hit North Korea make it a sheet of glass - China and Russia next door and you don't think that going to cause some crapolla?





China and Russia would have the same reation to the above Canada Iceland nuke exchange as you would in the US - so what would it be?





By the way niether Canada nor Iceland have nukes and noether of us are mad at each other - that I know of anyway

The US and North Korea -unfair fight -but it's a stones throw from China and Russia - WW3?
since when is fairness an issue in a war. was it a fair fight with IRAQ?
Reply:WW III, more doom and gloom talk, enough already! Russia and China will not launch against us for fallout, which, incidentially, would not be as widespread as you think in light of North Korea's size. Furthermore, we could time our retaliatory attack for when the winds blow most favorably to limit fallout on populated areas.





North Korea's little half-witted dictator is a wind bag, doing nothing but playing to the US media.





Stop lapping up the poo and he'll eventually stop doling it out.
Reply:That's a pretty lame scenario. North Korea is all talk. It's people are starving because their little alcoholic leader has squandered all the money. They may be able to start a fight but can't sustain it. China and Russia have to much to loose to get involved with a loser country like north korea.
Reply:WW III was Sadaams "Mother of all Wars". We all know how he faired in that. Question is about WW IV, I presume
Reply:Thankfully China, Russia, and the US as well as many other countries keep in constant contact about many things both formally and informally. Many things happen in the world that could trigger a bad scenario and North Korea is but one trip wire but not near as sensitive or likely to cause a WW3 scenario as Tawain which separated from China but China never recognized that and says that Tawain is still part of China. The US has sworn to protect and come to the aid of Tawain in case China attacks. In North Korea everyone knows that the leader is wild and crazy and therefore I don't think it's as much a tripwire as you think. WW3 is much more likely to come from either Tawain or the Middle East in a country like Iran or other Oil Rich country that would greatly effect the flow of oil to countries that consider that oil in their national interest and therefore might consider it a direct threat to their countries existence. That's my opinion.
