Just look at it this way.
NK:24,000,000 people live here
USA: Over 300,000,000 inhabit this country

NK: 46,000 sq miles
USA: 3,800,000 sq miles

NK: Most likely have a nuke or two
USA: Largest stockpile of nuclear weapons on the planet

NK: A third world country, with little to no new military hardware
USA: I think you know how powerful our military is

Also the rules of nuclear war have changed since the cold war. We need to get this notion out of our head that a nuclear armed country can destroy the world all it's own, North Korea doesn't have satellite states or nuclear weapons placed in other countries. Also our (and I don't mean the US but the UN) policy for when a country uses nuclear weapons is total retaliation, so WWIII wont be so much of a full scale war, more us just wiping a country off a map... instantly.


If there is a war with North Korea, it will be quite unlikely to be a nuclear war.
