If Kim Jong Nutcake orders a nuclear attack he will be repaid in kind. If he just does a conventional attack, he will be attacked by conventional weapons.

I highly doubt that the US would use nuclear weapons first. The only possible exception would be if they thought a N. Korean nuclear strike was imminent and a nuclear strike of their own was the only way to stop it. If N. Korea did carry out a nuclear strike, I'm 99% sure that the U.S. would respond in kind.

The question ramian what type of psycho Kim Jong-un is

When I look at Kim Jong-un, I can only see the fat man in his late twenties with a big ego, which has too much power. I myself am a fat man, I'm 27 years old and nearly 130 kilos, I do not see myself as a world leader

. Now I see that the minimum age to ruining for president in Poland and in many other countries is 35 years old, it's a very good idea, once thought it is discriminatory, but not now.

Ruining for president!

What a concept!

The way it works here in the USA is- you RUN for President- and if you win- THEN you get to ruin stuff!

ROFL!

America wouldn't need to. Conventional weapons would be sufficient to bomb NK back into the Stone Age.

Right now, a first strike by either side would make that side the Bad Guy, and anything the Good Guys do to retaliate would be justified as self-defense.

So, let NK's butterball president send his nookie bombs into the air; once their trajectories are known, the Good Guys will knock them out of the sky, and a few boomers of our own might "accidentally" make their way to Pyongyang.

Forget will they- should they?

Should millions suffer and die because of the actions of their leaders?

Does the USA need to respond to a nuclear attack with nuclear weapons in order to deter future attacks?

I remember being told that if there is a nuclear attack on a non-armed country (South Korea, Japan), all nuclear armed countries are bound by treaty to attack the aggressor. Is that true?

The thing to bear in mind, if it comes to blows China will inevitably get drawn in. That doesn't bode well for America.

Last time I checked, no such treaty exists.

The closest equivalents are Article 5 in the North Atlantic Treaty from 1949 and Article 4 in the Warsaw pact from 1955 (the "Musketeer" clauses), which treat attacks on one country as an attack on all countries in the respective alliance... But South Korea and Japan are not NATO member states.

The only thing more terrifying than a salvo of atomic detonations is the nuclear winter that follows it.

The US has its own treaties with Japan, South Korea, Australia/New Zealand, etc.
