&gt; Imagine if they had oil and how fast we&#x27;d invade before they even had their first scientist write the first formulas for nuclear power.<p>&gt; Imagine if they were next to Israel, how fast we&#x27;d sell them the jets and bombs to take out the reactors while they were being built.<p>&gt; But nope, we don&#x27;t give a damn.<p>This is not even remotely true. The reason nobody invades North Korea is because the DPRK holds millions of people hostage. I&#x27;m not just talking about their own citizens. Any invasion of North Korea would certainly result in the artillery bombardment of Seoul. It would likely also result in a nuclear exchange. The death toll would be higher than any conflict since WWII.<p>The US definitely gives a damn. It gives food to North Korea and military aid to South Korea. I&#x27;m sure US officials would love for the Kim regime to fall, but there&#x27;s simply no way to make that happen without risking millions of innocent lives.
