LOTS of people have had dreams and/or visions of NK attacking the U.S. in the earliest days of WWIII with nukes after our attack on Iraq.

I forget if the nukes hit Hawaii or where but NK was evidently the point "man" when it came to massive attacks on all fronts beginning with NK nuke attacks.

I'm curious, what sorts of devastation could NK nukes and missles that would fit in shipping containers do from say Panama?

The NK's have some pretty good missiles. They could hit as far as Chicago with reduced weight payloads. With regular payloads, they coulod hit Alaska and Hawaii.

I believe one has an extreme range of 6500 miles. That is an arc that covers most of Mid America.


Most of the yield I believe they have is about 20 KT, or a little bit bigger than our WWII nukes. I could be wrong there, though. I know they are and have been working on a hydrogen bomb with much higher yields.
