Heres hoping there isn't another Korean Civil war. Then again, a United Korea may be better then we all think it may be. I won't say the nukes are going to fly, but the American Government would need to get over its extremely jingoistic Policies (Millions military bases everywhere, doing... what, exactly ow that the USSR is gone?). If you start hearing the American Government threatening NK, I would start building yer Nuclear Bunkers if I were you.
Why?
Best Korea nukes can't reach US soil.

I am not saying that it will mean we will get nuked now and there, I'm just saying it'll just go all down hill from there.

Er guys, NK and SK are still at war. They're at an armistice right now, and that might end by the end of next year

And a country doesn't need a nuke to screw the world over.
Internets maybe, but not nukes.

Even then, SK doesnt have the presence or the capability to wage a cyber ware.

US and Europe. Since HuK won a major tourney in S. Korea, the foreign have really been stealing the thunder from S. Korea players. We might be seeing a shift back to Korean domiance during 2012, as more SC1 pros are finally switching over.

SK are the less evil guys, I don't think we'd have to worry about them haxing teh wurlds any time soon.

Although with their APM....

Please. The North Korean nukes aren't scary in the least. They have a small handful at best, and they are likely to be unreliable and unmountable on their current missiles (which are themselves unreliable). They are a proliferation risk, but beyond that not a threat in and of themselves.

Their biological and chemical weapons on the other hand.

A biological attack on Japan is entirely possible. Not easy or likely to be well aimed, but possible.

The nightmare scenario is a single, all out attack using artillery on South Korea and long range missiles on Japan. They have enough firepower there to pretty much level Seoul and potentially drop biological agents into some of the most densely populated areas on the planet. And then they simply disappear within their own borders, forcing an invasion. Which they can respond to with chemical agents, land mines, heavy fortifications and an entire population to be used as human shields and cannon fodder.

MAD doesn't have to be global destruction to be terrifying. Or effective.

The good thing is I can't imagine any scenario where that actually comes to pass. The bad thing is I can't imagine North Korean internal politics either, so that doesn't mean much.

Actually, they can reach Hawaii and the US pacific territories.

Actually there isn't THAT much artillery. Sure they can kill thousands, but they only have what, a few hundred guns with enough range? Those can be shot using missiles once their position are known.

And I remember the report from eight or so months ago due to the border incident then. Hawaii is in the red zone.
