They are to us.

Sure they have lots of conventional firepower and manpower but that's no threat to the US unless we were to do someting really really stupid like invade them and try to fight them in a ground war.

I think one Chosin Reservoir experience was enough.

Your just as clueless as your Trumpenfuhrer. Congrats.

I got enough of a clue to know it's a bad idea to go halfway around the world to get involved in somebody else's war.

Perhaps so, but that ship sailed over 60 years ago.

I don't know. I would think the delivery of a nuclear war head on any US base would be extreme cause for alarm. Even if the missile were to hit South Korea, it would have major consequences.

I wonder what would happen if a nuclear missile was launched? What would China, Russia, or the US do? Retaliate?

Remember Prince Ferdinand? A single shot that started WWI?

What started WWI was an aging Empire's determination to punish a smaller nation....

Yes. See what you mean.

So why else do you think that anti missile battery is being put in place in South Korea?

The Oberste Heeresleitung started WWI. At the last minute the Emperor and his PM changed their minds, but were told it was too late to stop the trains (so to speak). The execution of the Schlieffen Plan was the be all end all at that moment in German history.

The causes are indeed complex, but the assassination of the Archduke was the fuse that caused the powers to mobilize. Discounting the assassination as the fuse that lit the keg is false revisionism.

Your buying off on the lie agreed upon. The Germans were the driver. They declared war on two fronts, attacked and violated Belgium's neutrality. Their choice. Not revising a thing.
