It's people like you that were the reason Hitler killed millions of Jews, and Stalin killed millions of his own people.
Oh, because I'm not a rampant, genocidal lunatic like you suddenly makes ME similar to Hitler? That's a very interesting perspective. Too bad it's wrong.

We are not talking about an all-out nuclear war you dunce.
Okay, listen. Here's a theoretical scenario that could very well take place.

1) The US decides to invade North Korea to "liberate" the nation, and try to make it democratic. Save the starving people!
2) Kim does not like the idea of being invaded, and before his regime falls, he launches his nuclear arsenal on South Korea, as it is a very successful capitalistic nation, and one of his arch-enemies. The entire South Korean population of 48 million people is eradicated, but the nuclear winds spread north-west, through North Korea and into China.
3) China, a well-known supporter of North Korea during the cold war, also the reason why the US/UN did not manage to reunite the Koreas, do not like getting their soil irradiated. More than likely, they would sign trade embargoes against the US and likely other Western nations.

From here, an endless amount of outcomes could occur. Nothing may happen. Or maybe China launches a massive IBCM strike, targeting US soil with the knowledge of the US being impossible to conquer by conventional means. Trying a coup d'ĂȘtat on the US government would be close to impossible due to the strength of the army, and the amount of weapons carried by civilians in the US. You'd get the entire population against you. Better just obliterate everything. And of course, this leads to counterstrikes from the US to "save what's left" of the population, etcetera, etcetera.
