And a nuclear winter wouldn't be too pleasant. Anything involving nukes is always global.
N Korea is run by a narcissistic psychopath. Easy as it is to knock our leaders, we should be grateful we can remove them if we choose, and that we are not run by an apocalyptic madman.
True - it is worth reflecting that, although this shower are clearly, on the whole, money-grabbing, effluent-sucking, drivel-drooling scum-sucking b******s, we can at least have a vote, and there are several democratic means at our disposal. Still, I still favour the smacking with brooms and making them whistle colours option.............

Any large conflict in that region would very quickly affect us all. Twenty years ago China happily shot down thousands of its own citizens for demonstrating for greater freedoms and they are N Korea's biggest supporter. Russia and China have a history of enmity. America has defence agreements with S Korea and Japan, very much in the firing line. No love lost between Vietnam and China while British interests in the area are close enough to feel the shock waves.
Once you involve China how quickly can you include India, which shares a border? With India comes the disputes with Pakistan and they are both nuclear states. That brings us to the middle East and the borders of Europe.
Sorry Howard, Any regional conflict that involves such weapons would soon involve all of us and any pre-emptive strike would have to be done with the full awareness of the possible repercussions in China.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.
