Would they have enough resources to handle this, Ukraine/Russia, and Israel/Hamas?

In a sensible universe? Meet with China and come to an understanding of pushing N.Korea back and having a joint operation to topple their government

I mean if we wanted to be straight villains the only country here that's a problem is Russia cause they got nukes.

We wouldn't nuke either cause the other country we are aiding would get caught up in the fallout but north Korea I'm sure we could steam roll if we took the kid gloves off.

China has nukes too, and they probably aide North Korea.

North Korea has nukes, too.
I think US would be fine w/ supporting another front b/c the SK army is > the NK army. The fear is the close proximity of Seoul to the border and NK having so much artillery and missiles aimed at it, so it's assumed if they went to war, hundreds of thousands of South Koreans would die within the first hour from the opening salvo. If NK provoked first though, SK aided by US weapons supplies could destroy all of NK easily, as long as China didn't get involved.

I assume we have a carrier group in the area and SK wouldn't need much help anyway unless NK was getting a lot of help from China. help from Russia is basically off the table at this point.

True. Point taken. But that said I feel Russia is more unhinged and would use them quicker. I don't think China wants to nuke us

No they wouldn't. Especially not if North Korea were the aggressors.

China has a "no first use" policy. Whether their word can be trusted or not who knows, but I definitely would expect Russia or NK to launch a nuke well before China would.

I feel China is too invested in America to wanna obliterate us. They would maybe wanna overthrow us but not destroy us. Like don't they own a lot of property and whatnot here? Or am I mistaken. Plus we will never pay our debts if we are all dead.

We have a mutual defense treaty with South Korea. We wouldn't be just supplying them, we'd be actively blowing up North Koreas shit with mass cruise missile launches and air strikes from carrier groups.

Well we have known for 60+ years that if NK had any prayer of winning, they would have to take Seoul in 72 hours...

After the 3 days the US forces in the area would be fully mobilized...

The key is if NK had Chinese support...

China has always said they would back NK if the US and or SK invaded...

Yet they have gone on record saying if NK started anything including an invasion, they are on their own...

With no Chinese support, NK would be squeezed once US troops counterattacked...they last a month at most...

Then it would be a matter of what to do NK, obviously the Kims would be done, but China would probably not like a fully democratic unifed Korean nation on their border unless we turned into a DMZ along the Yalu River...

Wonder if that + Iran and Hezbollah fully joining in the Gaza conflict would make China go "fuck it" and invade Taiwan

Supporting Ukraine
Supporting Israel
Supporting South Korea
And defending Taiwan

All at the same time Is ALOT.

The only reason we don't invade North Korea right now is because of China. If NK attacked SK first, we'd have all rights to strike back at someone preemptively attacking our ally. China wouldn't aid NK if they were the aggressors due to not wanting to look like the bad guys.

That said, after NK was obliterated, China would step in and claim rights to the territory.
