So, i just read the thread about North Korea agreeing to disarm their nuclear reactors for feul. Many of you say Kim is just going to sidestep from this deal as he has in the past. So, id like to know, How likely is it we will become engaged in a war with North Korea?

We will never go to war with North Korea, because North Korea is populated by the most EVIL people on the planet.

How do we know this?

When we get any film footage out of North Korea, it is all in black and white...

It's not because of the film...

North Korea is so evil, they have no color!

[/shameless Lewis Black reference]

But seriously, the US would not go to war with North Korea unless it wanted its troops spread even more thin, and wanted the most devastating conflict since...well Iraq...

I'd say fairly unlikely, at least in the near future (12-18 months).

Not with the North poised to flatten Seoul and seriously harm Japan within minutes of us starting.

And this doesn't even count the nukes they may or may not have.

No-one will attack North Korea because unlike Iraq and other countries the US illegally attacks the Koreans will fight back.

North Korea is one of those few nations with a military that could go against the U.S army and make at least phyrric victories. Thier military apparatus is one of the most expansive in the world. North Korea has the fifth-largest military in the world , with the largest percentage of citizens enlisted (49.03 active troops per thousand citizens). The North has an estimated 1.08 million armed personnel, compared to about 686,000 South Korean troops, plus 32,500 US troops in South Korea. 25% of N Korean GDP is put into the military.

War with North Korea would be incredibly costly in terms of casualties and resources on both sides.
