Perfectly understand not being able to discuss this as I am sure it involves plenty of classified information not available open source.

I guess my point was that it is not a foregone conclusion that Seoul would look like Dresden after a NORK attack. 200-400 tubes even if only firing for a couple hours would make a mess of Seoul and knock out alot of civilian infrastructure to bring the city to its knees, but it could recover. But if 10,000 tubes were firing issues like power grid failure, water and food supply interruptions would be moot becuase there wouldn’t be any buildings standing nor many inhabitants left alive to complain.

Granted, the Dresden option does come into play if the NORKs can make a push south of the DMZ or if Kim can manage to strap a crude nuke on an A2 . . .

+1 on the inclination that Kim would focus his targeting on civies

I think nukes are less likely than simple dirty bombs.

It’s expected that NK would make it south of the DMZ.
