An ICBM attach by NK would be suicide on their part. Placing the missile or bomb aboard a container ship would be a more likely way to attack.
It’s a huge threat to Japan and South Korea. Even China and Taiwan and Russia. But as of now it’s not much of a threat to the US. It will be in a year or so though. We need to act before they are a threat to us, which is now.
Indeed.
The Left likes to approach these situations in two phases:
1) They are not a threat to us right now, so we should do nothing. Let sleeping dogs lie. You can’t just attack someone with no reason.
2) OMG! They have operational weapons! They are a threat! We must be cautious! We can’t do anything or else they will kill us all! Let’s give them what ever they want!
Let’s hope we can be smarter than that.
A container ship would have no where near the destructive yield as an elevated detonation. It’s why if ya want the most bang for your buck, detonate your nuke at several thousand feet over the target.
True, but it would make detection of the attacker much harder.
The left has a 3rd option. They can scream “Everything was fine until Trump came along... now look what he’s done!”
Well, in major ports like LA, they’re sweeping inbound cargo for radioactive material. Even shielded nuclear material can be detected.
The Kims just go BLAH BLAH BLAH so they can get Free Stuff and it’s been working pretty well
They keep launching these things, but... with what payload? Empty missile can go a lot farther than one encumbered with a heavy nuke.
Zero.
Just a bit farther on range and a good Gaydar guidance system....
THE key is to totally reject sanctions. Totally reject Chinese help. Totally employ nuclear preemption to a level there will be no recovery by the NORKS. It must be total and complete and the Chinese must be hit and hit hard if they blink wrong. We have this multi billion dollar military, we need to get it out of the garage and drive it around NOW!!!
That can give one an idea of the magnitude of the threat.
Offer an unlimited reward to any hacker(s) who can get into the Nork ICBM guidance system to have the missile take a Western route after ignition. That’ll assure Russian and Chinese involvement in stopping NoKo from launching.
Nuclear poker:Who will call the bluff? Are we willing to use Americans as chips? The fate of millions rests on two leaders and one of them is paranoid,insane and may be as fanatical as any lunatic in Iran.
Let’s not forget that it is California that their ICBM can reach. I say all conservatives get out of there and let the bombs fly! /S/????

If the Norks try the “Scud in a bucket” trick — launching a missile from a container ship a few miles off our coast — our reaction time would be virtually nil. The bird would reach altitude before our radar could get a good fix on it. In fact, our first warning would probably be the brilliant flash.
The only prudent alternative is to be prepared to “stay calm and carry on” for up to a month, with no government assistance of any sort. That can be as simple as a few extra canned goods on grocery shopping day, keeping the gas tank full, setting up a rain barrel, keeping a few candles in the closet ... simple stuff that your grandparents did.
Government cannot help you when the ballon goes up. Learn how to take care of yourself.
