I remember the Cold War. When I was a kid, we had drills at school where we would hide under our desk, in case of a nuclear attack by the Russians, (like that would've kept us from getting evaporated.) Then, there was a minor scare in the 90's that we'd get attacked by the 1.5 billion Communist Chinese. Finally there was 9/11, after that, we thought another massive attack via a nuclear weapon was imminent. I know there are a lot of crazy leaders in this world, (we have one of our own), but I refuse to believe anybody is crazy enough to start WW3 with nuclear weapons. Especially, when you are a rogue nation with very little resources, on a short leash of the only nation that will associate with you (China.)

The Chinese leash isn't as sturdy as you think. If China really had that tight a grip on Cartman Jong Un, the nuclear tests and missile firings would have ended already. I don't think Cartman has any illusion of winning, and frankly I don't think he cares. I think his real target is South Korea, and the ICBMs are a deterrent to the US more than anything Cartman actually intends to fire at us.
