War happens. God had warred against Lucifer in heaven and threw him out along with one third of the angels. He was a rebel and wanted to be higher than God .

Terrorists with a dirty bomb or bio weapons are much more of a concern.
IMO nuclear missiles capable of hitting the US in the hands of a whackjob like Kim Jong Un are as much of a threat as terrorism. They might not yet have those missiles but they're working up to get them and I don't doubt NK will carry out their threats to use them when they are able.

I'd hope that China would keep the NK nuclear threats at bay, but I'm skeptical of both their abilities and motivation to do so, and then what about Iran with all its nuclear arsenal becoming NK's new best friend?

What to do? I don't know, and I feel singularly unqualified to even say one way or the other what the US and its allies should do. I just know I pray for our leaders and those who must make those decisions, that they will have the wisdom and insight to follow the best path.

I would partner with China to take Kim fat boy out. Grant china north Korea with the provision any Koreans could emigrate to South Korea assuming the south wanted them. In return they release claims on Tibet.

China when push comes to shove, would take care of NK and the US and Russia would/will saber-rattle but not actually attack one another.
Now a proxy-war is not impossible however, but not a full scale confrontation between any of the big players.

It is a bit ironic however that after proclaiming Trump to be the bringer of peace, it is under him that tensions are at their highest in a long long time.....
While I'm a bit disappointed in the Syria bombing, I do think he will only go to war if we are attacked. I hope so anyway. All we have now is two fingers in the crossed position.

I do hope he sticks as close as he can to his message.

So God is prowar? Hmmm. There is this one neighbor who bugs me. I guess I can declare war on him and be redeemed.
