If this doesn't spark a war, whatever NK does next likely will.
China's biggest issue isn't a concern for war with the US, its the concern for all of the NK refugees that they would flooded with.
They simply don't want them.
The US's issue with NK is if we take out KJU there might be someone even worse who steps into take over. Who actively just launched missiles at everyone they can reach.
We can't just melt NK either, because the second we launch the NK army would launch everything at SK and any US allies. China would be pissed too, because NK is a buffer from the Democratic SK / US allies.

This is always a big concern. Who comes next could be far worse than the one before them.
I figure if KJU is smart enough, he'd not be in the country, or in a hidden bunker somewhere before he actually orders an attack on anyone.

Any action against NK means Seoul ceases to exist shortly thereafter.

Recommended reading. Opens with a staggering account of American hubris and an example of how completely incapable we are of protecting Seoul. At a time where we thought it was impossible to siege the city, we literally lost the city in hours on the same day that the military had reported it impenetrable.

Well how else are you supposed to loot, you certainly can't do it unarmed. . . That's how the police get you. . .

No police out there, they aren't allowed to be, actually.

But the home owners who are stuck are likely armed (being texas) so you have to shoot them before they can shoot you and call for the police. WOOP-WOOP

Joel Osteen is a fraud and is misleading people down a dark path.

Well it's like those televangelists that actually spoke on and tried to justify the need for private jets. This is obviously not what true Christianity is about and I'm sure most people realize that. These are just public figures abusing religion for monetary gain.

Same religious philosophy of the private school that I went to in the 1980s. They preached wealth doctrine and everything looked to Victorian era rich tent preachers and nothing to the Bible. Exact same "bad things happen to bad people, rich people are to be worshipped" cult practices.
