re: Why aren’t we treating North Korea like we are Iran?

1. North Korea doesn’t sit on a vital shipping choke point.
2. North Korea has actual nukes.
3. North Korea is backed by China and shares a land border with them.
4. North Korea lacks oil.
5. North Korea has a hostage. Just using conventional artillery and weapons, against which there is little real ability to defend against, North Korea has the ability to on a moment’s notice completely level Seoul, killing or rendering homeless millions of people and destroying one of the world’s economic super cities.

Trump and Lil’ Kim are BFF.

Good thing Trump is friends with all these scary dictators. Now they won't attack us.

They actually have a nuclear arsenal, and hate us just as much.

It's simple. Hitting Iran strengthens us and weakens our enemies and our rivals. Hitting North Korea doesn't do either.
The Iran war is all about reducing Europe and China's power because they are dependent on oil from the global market (Europe needs to be reminded who's boss and China is our main rival). It's all about the petrodollar. Anything else is of lesser importance or just the BS told to the pleebs.

They just do it themselves.
Wasn't Russia putting a bounty on soldiers?
Also, where were the 9/11 hijackers from?
And tell me about the USS Liberty

Because North Korea has nukes and will use it if attacked. Iran doesn’t have nukes. I bet you Iran wishes they have nukes now

If the best you can come up with is a war fought 70 years ago that ended with an armistice, an attack over a tree and a cyber attack to imply that North Korea is just as much of an adversary currently as Iran then you've failed.
North Korea is an irrelevant enemy that loves to sabre rattle. Equating the two is only possible for those with brain rot.

Believe it or not, the NORKs are rational in comparison. We can negotiate with them and their responses are somewhat predictable.

North Korea doesn’t have delivery system.
China won’t give them capability to to miniaturize warheads to attach to missiles because the Chinese are afraid of the nut job and his sister running the country.
Israel figured out early in the game how to mount the bomb on a jet. Remember, North Korea took the check from Iran to miniaturize a warhead to go on a missile then proceeded to destroy their test mountain.

It’s pretty much because they already have a nuclear arsenal as you said in the OP. Weird that the Clinton deal from the 90s to avoid nukes for NK didn’t hold up.

This is a pretty dumb question really. Since they have nukes we can't just go in and bomb the shite out of them. This is the whole reason why we aren't allowing Iran to gain nukes, because then your options to reign them in become severely limited. Also, North Korea isn't the world largest state sponsor of terrorism around the world. They may not like us, but they aren't constantly attacking American interests like Iran has been doing for the past 50 years.
Also, Trump gets along with their leader. Un isn't going to frick around with Trump like the Mullahs were.

You're asking why we aren't bombing a nuclear power in China's neighborhood? Is that what this thread is?

Oil and the Deep State has them lower on their agenda.

Weird perspective I hadn’t heard that one yet.
How much time have you spent in the middle east... amongst the people there?

We know that China has them on a leash.

Because despite their saber rattling they have acted responsibly. And it was a "shock" when they tested the bomb. One of the Bushes got caught with his pants down.
