Re: ... the threat of a nuclear exchange between the US and North Korea
'Exchange' is a little much I think, it kinda has 'MAD' connotations from the cold war. North Korea has buried and exploded some nuclear devices. It's also fired a few rockets. That doesn't necessarily give it the ability to 'exchange' with the United States. Ask Yodel : delivery is the tricky bit. I'm not saying that 'we wouldn't get our hair mussed' but we are not talking about a 1983 style end of the world in an 'exchange' with North Korea. I'm also not seeing a lot of scope for escalation. No treaties, no friends. I'm betting on Vladimir not pressing his button for the Norks. He's got oil to sell. And the Chinese too : wipe out the West, and who are you going to sell stuff too.
