If they drop a nuclear bomb on South Korea, seems to me it would destroy North Korea, too, if only by fallout.

I had a relative on the US airbase in the zone between S. Korea and N. Korea and he said North Korea had enormous caves going under that zone and the caves are large enough to drive huge trucks through. He said if N. Korea moved through those caves, our airbase would be lost fast. Our guys are going to die if N. Korea attacks S. Korea so don't be so gung ho on having war.

Yes, they do. They are very extensive. We backtracked one we found in the late 70's. Big enough to drive an prime mover and even a T-72/80 through. Lighted, and all. Long story short, brief firefight, one wounded. It was highly classified until the 90's. The buffer zone between North and South is the DMZ, right on the 38th parallel. There is no airbase within the DMZ (obviously) It is on the Southern side VERY NEAR the DMZ. I would like to hope that those tunnels are all marked and known now.

The effects of nuclear fallouts are way over exaggerated. Sure, you don’t want to breath the stuff in, but it doesn’t last forever like in the doomsday movies.

When minutes count, the B2’s are just hours away

My take is that the winter is harsh, the lack of food is great, the need to bluster is paramount to save face.

What is needed is the means to live. The great leader can not provide that means

If we know about those caves (and ground-penetrating radar should give us a pretty good idea of them), then I would be surprised if we didn't have explosive charges buried on top of each of them, ready to collapse them on command.
