It isn’t about me. I was merely pointing out how there is no way whatsoever the leadership of North Korea would ever preemptively strike the US west coast with a missile. It might or might not hurt the US, but it guarantees the end of their entire way of life.

I’m pointing out the silliness of thinking they would do it when they have the most to lose.

A much likely scenario would be for Kim family just sitting it out in some bunker in China, while his country burns.

The type of leaders with such disdain for their own countries are like those well known African tinpot dictators who effectively live in Europe (and to the great delight of their European hosts...) most of the time, while their henchmen plunder their countries back home.

China does not particularly like North Korea nor Kim.

If it comes to him looking for amnesty, they're going to let him burn.

Yes, we also all know that nobody rational would launch a pre-emptive strike. Nobody is saying NK would launch one.
