Neither China or South Korea would be happy, not just on the refugee problem it would cause, but the nuclear waste that would be polluting the ground and air thus food sources.
I get so fucking tired of the gung ho crap always ready to start a war with someone. We really don't live in an age of expansion anymore and on top of that both friend and foe have nukes. So far, since WW2 we as a species have been lucky enough that cooler heads on all sides prevailed with the issue of nukes.
This is the shit the far right never considers with nukes. If you have a global nuclear war nobody wins, even if they survive, the mass disruption of communication, disruption of utilities such as water and electricity, and the pollution the radiation would cause for hundreds of years if not more. Any survivors of such would still be dealing with that. And if that much disruption gets caused by a global nuclear war, you wont have to worry about some overseas enemy killing you, you'd literally have to worry about your neighbors.
NOBODY wins in a global nuclear war. AND AGAIN both JFK and Reagan understood this. I don't think 45 does.
