I'm generally anti-war, but if NK gets nukes capable of reaching us we're screwed. Whether by diplomatic efforts or war NK must be stopped. I'd prefer diplomatic efforts, but they haven't exactly worked in the past. NK just keep developing more weapons and doing/saying more crazy stuff.

NK isn't a normal rational country. They're one of the most notorious dictatorships in the world right now, and it's like some kind of weird cult where they people have been brainwashed and coerced into blindly following the Kim family (Who are supposedly some kind of "Gods" or something).
