North Korea confirms its fourth nuclear test - live

Conventionally SK can take care of business. But what if, in a war, they decide to use nuclear capable missiles. Does South Korea have a good Air defence system?

That, indeed, is a risk of open war. However, i doubt the North Korean Leadership would be as suicidal to use strategic missiles on Seoul since a strike on Seoul would mean an imminent strike from the United States and other world powers. To do so would definitely condemn the North Korean Regime. Containing North Korea is a responsibility of the Chinese , who have a unique bilateral channel of communication with Kim Jung Un.

This is true to North Korean fashion and will be used as pretext to demanding food rations and oil rations.

The North Korean Government, don't you know, is a beggar entity?

That is the problem. North Korea has nothing to loose while South Korea & Japan would loose all their 50 years of hardwork towards creating strong economies.

Do you think North Korea's isolation is justified considering Cold War ended decades ago? This leader is insane, but if the world wanted, they really could have come to some terms with his father. Continued sanctions for decades has lead to this situation.

Isn't it a vicious cycle of isolation leading to these tests which leads to further isolation which will lead to further and bigger tests?

In an idealistic and perfect world, yes. The unification of the Korean peninsula should have happened decades ago, however, due to the years of divide between Pyongyang and Seoul and the culture of apprehension both nations have for each other, makes unification even more unlikely. With the course of nuclear weapons acquisition, Pyongyang has thereby guaranteed that they have clout in the negotiating table to deter South Korean military adventurism , and even American + another regional strategic ally that has interests in Korea.

S.Korea and Japan should really worry now, cause North Korea threatened to wipe both off the face of the earth several times already

I don't think North Korean will match cross the border with China. I believe it is well contained from Chinese side.

The main issue is that people pay too much attention to North Korea.

The moment they make threats, in a couple of days they will demand food and oil emergency rations.

What can you expect from this beggar state.
