Wonder how many MOAB we could deliver? Enough to neutralize embedded artillery on the border and every buried military, missile, and nuke site? Hit everything at once, remove North Korea’s military from the equation.

Deliver all of them simultaneously.

Annihilation and decapitation of the NORK leadership structure.

No, but I’ve been thinking the MOAB could be used to suck all the air out of those caves where all the artillery is hid, like they tested at masar al sharif. Still think it wouldn’t be possible to get the cargo aircraft over target... still, no reason a B-52 couldn’t drop one.

One uses cluster bombs to take out artillery and armor in fixed emplacements.

And they work very, very well. A single B-1B can carry 30 of these:

Or, my personal favorite the CBU-87. Either the B-1B or the B-52 can carry 50+ of these...

Artillery and armor are easy. As are any fixed, surface target.
