Even the winning side blames us sometimes. Every time we shoot a bullet, fire a rocket or drop a bomb we make another enemy. Not just the people we're shooting at but everyone that lives there. We'll never make friends in the middle east but the longer we keep messing in their sandbox the more they all hate us.

N. Korea has been threatening military action for decades. Not sure if their new leader is just trying to rally the people or is dumb enough to actually fire off a nuclear weapon. It would be suicide if he did. Chances are slim they could hit the US with one and odds our defenses would knock it out first but there would have to be some type of retaliation if they tried. God help them if they fired a weapon at Israel, which they've threatened. We would retaliate in some fashion but probably not at a nuclear level. I don't think Israel would hesitate to strike back with nukes if N Korea fired one at them.
