There would be an outcry from demoncrats, “Trump’s fault!”

Anyone remember Clinton giving billions and nuclear power plants to North Korea in exchange for them to stop developing a nuke?

The MSM surely has forgotten...

Annihilation, Kim. Total, complete, absolute annihilation. North Korea would simply cease to exist.

“U.S. nuclear strategy is evolving away from an automatic ‘they use nukes, we use nukes, we take out every city they have’ response,”

Yeah, that worked for the decades of the cold war. So lets try a new approach where we tell them in advance that if they nuke us, we’ll probably just shoot back with conventional cruise missiles and will be careful to only kill the national leaders.

We are lead by idiots. Blithering idiots.

People in Hawaii would always be able to tell which way was west by the dull glow on the horizon.

The toughest part is defending against the massive artillery aimed at South Korea.

Will the young thug really give up the all the perks of his “dear leader” status?

The Norks can’t even launch a missile, let alone deliver a warhead. The largest possible test they made was just six month ago and it MAY have been up to 30kt. A 30kt weapon is nothing to sneeze at, and would destroy a small city, but imagining them being able to deliver it - no f-ing way. There is no nuclear threat from the Norks unless they deliver it unconventionally with a slingshot or somesuch silliness.

List of Nork nuke tests:

The Norks would need a couple dozen successfully launched and guided nukes to take out the major cities of countries against them.

A single nuke would just get everyone excited.
