Works fine, until it doesn't.
Life is risk, there is no "safe" in the Balance of Terror, it's all high risk gambit all the time, that's just the nature of the beast. Can't un-invent the hydrogen bomb, so might as well just get confortable with it.

PYONGYANG — North Korean state media warned on Tuesday of a nuclear attack on the United States at any sign of American aggression as a U.S. Navy strike group steamed toward the western Pacific.

North Korea's official Rodong Sinmun newspaper said the country was prepared to respond to any aggression by the United States.

"Our revolutionary strong army is keenly watching every move by enemy elements with our nuclear sight focused on the U.S. invasionary bases not only in South Korea and the Pacific operation theater but also in the U.S. mainland," it said.

Kim is getting pressed up to a corner now, and that corner is getting tighter every hour. How will he react?

This sounds like a BS story.

Why doesn't the PRK occupy the DPRK? No one would complain - it's more territory, and China could seal the border.....

I tried following the link to their source but it just sends me to a home page of a Chinese site. There is an interesting article here from there though

So if this war occurs I guess the next question would be how long does it go? How many causalities? How many dead? Will there be use of nuclear weapons? What will Korea look like after? Will China, South Korea/United States fight over what to do about what's left of North Korea?
I guess the quicker the better? This will be America's biggest geopolitical test in a long time...

>will Best Korea attempt to use nukes
Oh absolutely
>will china attempt to grab more land
I don't see why not. Maybe split it up between the north and south so Seoul has a bigger buffer
>money
I've heard china has been setting some funds aside for the inevitable collapse but I don't know how true that is. It's rumored to be a massive fund. Interestingly they do supposedly have a lot of ghost cities...
