the Koreans?

i think the us will take part on it's own if others don't join in. japan would probably help though they don't have much of a military force as such. (they're hoping to enlarge it's navel fleet of subs from all accounts. ) but i do think it would help.

Over a million finely tuned Asians against the US and whoever's army would be a formidable force, I think the advantage would lie in the home side, nukes would be a no no as nuking North Korea would in effect be nuking the South and China so the US would just get it back at them, that would in effect be nuking Canada so the UK would nuke China and stuff would just get silly so it would likely be a traditional war should there be a war.

China is the only country in the world to operate a "no nuking first" policy. I highly doubt they would nuke here and there without any consideration.

I don't think NK would ever nuke the USA, but I wouldn't put anything past them. The UK would definitly not nuke China as that would just be disadvantageous and silly.

I think NK is the only country stupid and crazy enough to use nukes. The others would rather a swift attack (either North or Southwards) that would fix the problem with minimal damage. No-one wants yet another drain on resources.
