They have a huge army ready to fight, and our side does not. The risk of a quagmire is large. The USA is acting proud and unwilling to make a deal that would stop NK testing. Just offer to stop our war exercises near North Korea. We lose nothing in such an agreement, but the USA it seems would rather ratchet up the tensions even to the possibility of attempting to preemptively "wipe NK off the map" with "fire and fury." So much for the idea that Daddy Drump is not a neo-con.

It's an historical reality that those who have never experienced war, or purposely avoided it in DJT's case, are the ones most likely to be flippant about starting another one.  The prime example from the recent past: Dick Cheney.
