I recently came across this article on Yahoo. Apparently, North Korea has once again threatened the US. According to the article, North Korea has "vowed" to launch a Nuclear attack against the United States. Could this be the start of World War 3? This is quite scary for some people as North Korea may attack populated cities. On February 12, North Korea defiantly conducted a nuclear test.
Quote from the article:

North Korea threatened the United States on Thursday with a preemptive nuclear strike, raising the level of rhetoric as the U.N. Security Council approved new sanctions against the reclusive country.
The White House said North Korea's threats would only lead to Pyongyang's further international isolation and declared that the United States was "fully capable" of defending against any North Korean missile attack.
China's U.N. Ambassador Li Baodong said Beijing wanted to see "full implementation" of the new Security Council resolution, which tightens financial restrictions on Pyongyang and cracks down on its attempts to ship and receive banned cargo.
North Korea has accused the United States of using military drills in South Korea as a launch pad for a nuclear war and has scrapped the armistice with Washington that ended hostilities in the 1950-53 Korean War.has a history of resisting tough measures against its ally and neighbor.

I think this is sort of a warning of what is to come in the future. I think that World War 3 is imminent and can occur very soon. I believe this should be very seriously and that all precautions be taken in order to prevent a nuclear attack. A nuclear attack can cause a lot of destruction and millions of deaths.

They don't have a long range missile capable of reaching the USA. Their recent tests were only 6 kiloton nuclear weapons. To put that into context the USA was using 10-20 kiloton nuclear weapons against Japan in 1945. They are behind on their military and starting a war with the USA will not end well for them at all. They legitimately stand no chance. The numbers look like this:
DPRK: 9.5 Million
China: 4.6 Million
Iran: 3.8 Million
USA: 3 Million
Australia: 80,000
Britain: 410,000
Canada: 125,000
Romania: 200,000
Switzerland: 276,000
Japan: 285,000
Sweden: 256,000
Austria: 232,000
France: 470,000
Greece: 460,000
Germany: 335,000
(Total Military Personnel)
Now although the USA doesn't have the most people on its side. They have a stockpile of nukes, excellent tech and will be able to defend against such an attack.
The nukes they have probably have a 1km radius (I'm just extrapolating from the 3mi radius of a 10KT
nuke)
This is without the fallout. The fallout would cause more damage.
Edit: I just found this (Tsar Bomba, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever tested, this is 100MT even though the bomb itself was 50MT, so imagine half of this)
