War with North Korea inevitable?

[Humerox]

N Korea has always run her mouth. The reason the US is taking it more "seriously" now is an advancement of goals in the Pacific theater...especially regarding China. Tensions in the last couple of years have risen to the point that mainstream media is calling it a new "cold war"...and China has been exponentially increasing military strength and capability the last few years combined with dumping dollars and buying rare earth materials at a phenomenal rate.

All-out war is unlikely; however, skirmishes and regional warfare that indirectly involves China (N Korea) is VERY likely...almost unavoidable at this point.

Nuclear bomb? LOL. Fear asia destroying our economy by holding out on precious metals, more important silver. Almost all the silver in the world is mined by china anymore. Look what war in the middle east did to just the priceof oil. Now imagine what the price of silver would be. Silver at this point in time is worth more then gold if you take into account that everything electrical runs from silver. North korea is a joke though... When they get a satelite off the ground we can talk about nukes.

I have a buddy of mine that runs a company that manufactures all their equipment over in China. He goes over there at least twice every month. We talked about this very subject today. He stated that almost every person in China thinks that this kid is a nutjob too.

They also have a near monopoly on rare earth metals, which are used in most electronics. They limit and control what is exported. The US actually has a case with the WTO against them about this. It'll probably go no where though.

War with north Korea will make China very nervous. The triggers for a major war might be brewing right now and Korea is the catalyst.

Wasn't N Korea "at war" with the US under KJI as well?

[MrSparkle001]

Yes but this kid is young, eager to prove himself and apparently crazy.

I just think he is following tradition, and that the media is sensationalizing something that has been a reality for decades.

Little Kim has taken it farther than his father, and is largely untested as of now so i don't think anyone is certain what he is capable of. However, you would think he would have to realize if he did actually attempt a nuclear strike it would be the end of his regime. It seem like China is getting a bit sick of his antics as well.

War didn't start when they shelled a South Korean island or when they sunk a South Korean warship, it sure as hell isn't going to start over some puerile trolling.
