I remain convinced we have more than enough ABM and/or particle beam weapons (including perhaps some that are not publicly known) to allow us to swat down any and everything the little fat boi launches.

I hope Sec. Mattis takes Toby Keith's advice to heart:

"We'll put a boot in your ass, that's the American way..."

I've sometimes wondered if the U.S. might already have some rail-launched tungsten rods up in orbit.

All it would take is one tight salvo and Kim is protoplasm.

We’re going to need a lot more than as measured response.

Measured response is predators circling offshore 24/7 and next missile moving to fueling/launch facilities gets a hellfire.
Solid fuel mobile launchers for short range missiles will be a bit harder to detect. The long range stuff gets picked up on satellite.

I’d bet money that, unlike with the last president, we won’t know about this until AFTER it happens....

That would be an act of war. Or rather a resumption of the war.
