Right, so earlier on while chilling on Skype I came across a tweet by RT (News company) which detailed North Korea threatening the United States with a nuclear attack. So I did a little reading into it and it looks like the threat is serious and will be carried out. It details that there will be a "fully-fledged confrontation" against the United States for its continued hostility.



So, I'm wondering if this is possibly the start of World War 3? If so, will it be a Nuclear War and possibly the end of the world as we know it?

I think you're being a little over dramatic. If America was to be be threatened seriously by a nuclear attack. All first world countries will engage.

"Full-fledged confrontation" doesn't necessarily imply nuclear weapons will be used. There is a thing called mutually assured destruction and it's highly unlikely any other nations will launch nukes.

Computerized simulation of what happened the last time NK tried to use rockets.

And that rocket was supposed to go into orbit, mind you.

Yeah, I'm pretty confident we're safe.

I don't think that this would cause the 3rd world, And as W00t said, I think we are pretty safe.

You mean 3rd world war, right?

[Kinanizer]

I don't think anything bad will happen. America has had missile threats before, and everything is still fine.

Eh, it does have some interesting history facts, but it's no better than one of those conspiracy theory documentaries. Very interesting, nonetheless.

Mmmm, North Korea doesn't really have the ability or range to go arm to arm with the USA with Nuclear weapons.

Or conventional weapons, for that matter.
