How will US tensions with North Korea and possibly China affect Singapore?

The distance between Singapore and North Korea is just under 5,000 kilometers (3,100 miles) which is almost 1,000 kilometers more than the distance between London and Baghdad (4,090 km) so any potential spill over effects from possible conflicts would therefore be highly unlikely.

Furthermore, Singapore’s active foreign policy and its good relations with most major superpowers, make the possibility of Singapore’s direct involvement in a military conflict among the stated countries improbable.
