The US has no moral ascendancy (to attack NK) having bombed so many countries the past 50 years most of which aren't even enemy - they never declared war on those countries yet they killed millions of their children, farmers, women and mostly innocent civilians. They hold thousand of nuclear weapons in their arsenal even bragging about it. NK on the other hand, never once attacked a foreign country and if they do have nukes, they have only probably a dozen or two. So it is no contest. China has issued a statement that it will defend its neighbor if the US attacks it. If needed, we should too - we can send medical help to NK if the US becomes stupid enough to attack it. Despite its small size, not even bigger than Florida, NK is standing up to a Giant which is perhaps 60 times bigger and more powerful. The US is again bullying a small nation because it is small and the world knows that the bigger purpose of this attack is to send a message to China: "you're next". If the US and its lackeys succeed in asserting themselves there...that would be a big blow not just against China, Russia and the ASEAN who are trying to earn an honest independent living in this part of the world, but to us especially.
