My new educated guess is that the next country we will go to war with is North Korea. How do I know this? I have countless reasons. First, over the past few months tensions have been extremely high with North Korea and the United Nations. Over the past years, the UN and the US have repeatedly told North Korea "no nuclear weapons". About a week ago, North Korea showed a U.S. inspector a new high-tech uranium enrichment facility that is capable of producing weapons grade uranium for nuclear weapons. Also, a few hours ago North Korea fired over 100 artillery shells at a South Korean military base, killing two and injuring 15 others. Though South Korea responded with its own artillery and fighter jets, this was a clear act of aggression from the North and it cannot be tolerated. Additionally, earlier in the year North Korea attacked a South Korean warship with torpedoes, killing 46 South Korean sailors.From these examples, it can clearly be seen that the North is not willing to conform to the world or the South any time soon. So, how will the United Nations and the United States respond? I believe I already have the answer to said question. I believe that our military and possibly NATO are working on an invasion plan. There's quite a bit of evidence that would support this theory. First, throughout the year there have been sightings of many U.S. advanced nuclear submarines docking in the Southwest Pacific, refueling and rearming. These submarines are capable of carrying long range missiles, which can be armed with a variety of weapons from chemical to nuclear. Also, a U.S. aircraft carrier moved to the region in the past year for a training exercise with South Korea.
So, when might the fighting begin? My guess is as good as anyone's. I predict, though, that the fighting will begin within the next six months, probably sooner than later. South Korea's government is furious with the attacks and is ready for battle, and the United Nations has condemned North Korea for all of their hostile actions. I think that if South Korea decides to fight the U.N. will have its back, and if the U.N. backs South Korea the fighting will be short and swift.

Very troubling news indeed. It will be interesting to see how the world leaders respond to this act of aggression. The important question that needs to asked is whether or not China would fight for the North Koreans like they did in the 50s. I think that we should at least launch airstrikes on North Korean air and naval bases as well as hitting their nuclear sites, their army won't amount to much after they have no air support.
China won't fight for them. They're advanced and they love their new economic world power; they don't want to give that up. Plus they're fed up with North Korea giving communism a bad image.
and it also needs to mention that china needs us as much if not more than we need them, war with america means no american markets which equals large numbers of disinfranchised chinese eager protest and demand reform, in other words bad for business
Sad to say, but you are probably correct.
