Why is it that Russia has so many nukes but if North Korea had a single nuke US would attack?

1) The US and Russia are for the most part no longer "enemies". 2) North Korea is very likely to use any possible nuclear technology against South Korea, which is a US ally; I don't think Russia wants to attack South Korea. 3) As I said earlier, Russia is not likely to attack the US, North Korea is.

What would happen if US attacks North Korea?

In military terms, there are several options. A drone attack might be used to assassinate high level officials, a nuclear attack might be used to destroy the country completely, a conventional invasion of ground troops might be used to seize control of the government, although that last option is very unlikely since it would be far too costly. And since war is often about doing the unexpected, the US might attack North Korea is some entirely different way that I have not imagined. However, what the US almost certainly will do is wait. The US does not need to attack North Korea unless North Korea does make good on its threat to attack the US. At that point, the severity of the North Korean attack is likely to determine the kind of response the US will make. Certainly a nuclear attack, which North Korea has threatened, would result in a nuclear response, which would be very severe, probably killing every person in North Korea and leaving the country a radioactive wasteland that will be uninhabitable for a thousand years to come.


What long-term effects resulted in Korea due to the US attacks during the Cold War?

The US did not attack Korea. The US and the rest of the UN forces helped South Korea to repel an invasion from North Korea. That is defense, not attack. The long-term effect is that today, 57 years after the end of the Korean War, South Korea remains an independent nation, free from the psychotic Kim dictatorship of the north.


What would happen if the US bombed North Korea's nuclear site?

North Korea would retaliate by sending artillery shells at Seoul, South Korea and within 2 hr. the largest city in South Korea will be leveled. North Korea would also deploy their troops across the DMZ and invade South Korea. In response to the artillery the US will be forced to bomb the artillery guns and defend South Korea's border. China will also step in and aid North Korea by cutting off trade to the US and readying their nukes to fire on South Korea, Japan or the US. The US would loss respect in the eyes of the world for this attack and this may cause Iran to attack US allies ultimately plunging us into WWIII.
