No problem then. They will blow up all on their own and sink. One thing, they might launch one missile, but then it would be over for them.

"they might launch one missile, but then it would be over for them"

One missile is all you need to reduce a city to rubble(strangulate millions if the warhead is lined with Toxins or nerve gas)-that's all there is to nuclear deterrence-it's as simple.There's no point retaliating with 10 nukes if your enemy launches 1 at you-he loses 10,you lose 1 million people( & trust me folks like the Pakis or North Korea or Iran won't mind that)

The North Koreans have around 6-10 nukes,so they get treated as royalty when compared to poor ol' Saddam.
