Question, Russia and China threatens to Nuke South Korea and United States too if it interferes. South Korea gets nuked first. Does United States head down towards mutually assured destruction over a country smaller than the size of Minnesota? I think that it's a nuclear umbrella with large holes in it.

I agree with you. That's why the US troops are still in South Korea. South Korea is perfectly capable of defending itself but if there are no US troops to die in the first strike the US can do the sensible thing. But with them there North Korea soon becomes former North Korea.

And South Korea has slightly fewer people than France. It's not Minnesota.
