North Korea, South Korea, and nuclear weapons

[MisterVeritis]

I learned, just yesterday, that North Korea no longer will renounce the first use of nuclear weapons against South Korea.

If North Korea strikes South Korea in this manner, it will surely bring in the latter's ally, the US.

And that, in turn, would certainly bring in North Korea's benefactor state, China.

In other words, the US and China could then be engaged off in a nuclear face-off.

And it is clear that neither (the madman) Kim Jong-un nor Donald Trump has any intention of backing off.

Thoughts?

Why do you believe China would be involved?

Obviously if the North launched a nuclear first strike against the South, we would obliterate the North. South Korea does not posess nuclear weapons.

Don't provide any aid.

Zero.

I agree. Nothing.

Why do you believe China would be involved?

China recently informed North Korea that if they made any moves on South Korea, or any other nation they would be on their own.

This is evidence that Trump's policy is working. China ignored the Obama administration and propped up North Korea during the previous eight years.

Why do you believe there will be a global nuclear war? Who will fight it?

In my opinion, the most dangerous possibility is a Nork attempt to decapitate the US through a series of high altitude electromagnetic pulse attacks with a goal of collapsing the three most significant electrical grids in North America. A successful attack would eliminate the US, Canada, and most of northern Mexico.

I do not see a scenario where China would attack us with nuclear weapons although they could interfere with the logistical support of the South Koreans.
