So NK is posturing and making noises that it is going to attack Guam (a US Territory with a military base)

North Korea Mulling Plan to Strike Guam, State Media Announces
by Stella Kim and Daniel Arkin
SEOUL — North Korea says it is "seriously reviewing" a plan to strike the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam with missiles — just hours after President Donald Trump told the regime that any threat to the United States would be met with "fire and fury."
A spokesman for the Korean People's Army, in a statement carried by the regime's state-run KCNA news agency on Wednesday (local time), said it was going over "military options to form attack positions" around the U.S. territory in order to "send a stern warning" to the United States.
In another statement citing a different military spokesman, North Korea also said it could carry out a pre-emptive operation if the United States showed signs of provocation, according to Reuters.

Is NK that insane? Does it think it can actually get away with attacking the US (even a US Territory like Guam?)
And if it does, what will the US do? If we attack NK, what will China do?
Maybe NK is depending on the USA being afraid to attack them because of China. But I am pretty sure Trump will not back down and might even decide to strike them with a nuke. That would probably be a problem with China, setting off a nuke so close to them.
This could get ugly.
