So, North Korea has apparently built a nuclear missile that can hit as far as New York. Guess who lives in New York... I already have anxiety, so this doesn't help at all. I've tried talking my grandparents into moving to Ecuador (or at least letting me move there, especially considering I have a whole bunch of relatives over there), but they're not worried at all.
My grandfather is convinced that nothing can attack the US (in terms of missiles at least). I just hope he's right. Right now I'm listening to music to help calm down.

Last I heard, they'd said they could only reach the West Coast. Looks like we're both screwed. (I'm great at comforting, aren't I?) I doubt they can reach that far, but... like the boy who cried wolf, if we let our guard down now we could end up regretting it. Still don't think anything's gonna happen tho.

My dude those nk nukes can't reach mainland USA, well maybe until early 2018 from one article I read. And by then, the situation would hopefully be solved diplomatically. But I relate though, nuclear fallout is not something I would want to live to see.

...? where'd you hear this Trevor Noah, and other news programs are saying similar things as well. They're probably bluffing, but North Korea is still becoming a looming threat nonetheless.

True, but just hearing about it still makes me nervous. Like I said, I already have anxiety so hearing things like the possibility of a nuclear attack on US soil don't help at all.

But I relate though, nuclear fallout is not something I would want to live to see. Considering who's currently sitting in office right now... Here's hoping. Alot of hoping. But just in case, I will seriously try talking to my family to let me move to Ecuador to live with relatives and I always wanted to go there anyway. Even if NK is only bluffing or it won't reach the US mainland for awhile, I'm not taking any chances here.

I understand your anxiety, believe me. As addicting as it is, reading news is probably not the best idea if you struggle with that. NK is likely bluffing and if China doesn't take care of the problem, Officer USA will probably step in. Even if it's true, I think the issue will be confronted and stopped before it escalates that far. Worst-case scenario, realistically, we can probably take the hit.
Ecuador sounds cool, though. If World War III starts, hit me up and we can travel the country together. Cuenca looks fantastic.

I wouldn't be worried yet. North Korea hasn't had a lot of success with their missels in the past, and the ones that have succeeded haven't gone far past SK and Japan. I'm pretty sure it will be a while before they can get a working missel to reach the west coast, let alone the east coast. And even if they did, I'm pretty sure we have bases set up all over that are keeping an eye on them ready to shoot down any missels that they might send towards us.
