The only way to stop North Korea from attacking Soul, Tokyo or the U.S. is 150 tactical nukes, and then perhaps mop up operations afterwards?
That should have read “Seoul”... Typing to fast and not proofreading.

PSYOPs.
My reading of the tea leaves is that Trump is ordering the military to attempt to shoot down the next missile test.
I’m so sick of you chickenhawk keyboard warriors.
South Korea can demolish them if need be.
Go play your video games and be a real tough guy.
Sneak in and bbq the potbelly pig without harming the nation?
Uh ... no.
The U.S. would not be the first to go nuclear, especially not against a pissant nation like NorK.
There is a reason no one has used Nukes in the last 72 years. They are not a strategically good weapon.
Lots of other options.
Maybe the idea is to scare Lil’ Kim into concluding a strike is imminent then hit his hidey hole with a bunker buster.
The “one thing” may not be what most people guess it is.
My guess is that it’s not nukes or any weapons, but pressure from China on NK.
China makes a lot of money from US investments, many things are manufactured in China. They may not want to lose that and may be willing to put a boot on the neck of the NK dictator, to get him to stop his idiocy.
It’s in China’s economic interest to keep a backward, repressive regime governing the north of Korea. Historically, there’s no love lost between the ethnic Koreans & the Chinese; also, having an economic powerhouse with a united Korea could more easily entice intellectual resources from Beijing, not to mention them losing a tool in their gamesmanship with the West.
As always, follow the money…
