Any move by the US militarily will certainly bring a response of perhaps nuclear arms, which "could be" a lot of lives in South Korea or Japan or based on the reaction that N Korea had to China, perhaps in China.

North Korea seems ready to "rock and roll".

It does not appear we are going to back off, and obviously we will not use nuclear weaponery. But it does appear we have to do something now. It now involves a few other countries with nukes (Russia, China) and that alone is a bit scary. Even a momentary lapse in judgement or understanding could be fatal.

This is what North Korea has hoped for.....ATTENTION, and now they got it. I just cannot imagine them allowing this attention to just fade away.
