You know the rule by now: If the headline asks the question, the story most likely provides the less exciting/sensational/terrifying (in this case, definitely the third) answer. From the very Telegraph article that Drudge links to:
Despite the increasingly belligerent rhetoric and new images emerging from the North Korean regime, analysts believe its missiles are not capable of striking targets as far away as the US mainland and are not, as yet, capable of delivering a nuclear payload.
North Korea's state-media announced earlier today that Kim Jong-un has ordered his missile units on standby to strike the United States and South Korea. The bluster was accompanied by a photo containing a not-so-secret (or believable) message: a chart over Kim Jong-un's shoulder showing a "U.S. mainland strike plan." NK News took a closer look at the chart and discovered what appears to be the reclusive nation's public wish list: Hawaii, Washington, D.C., Southern California (Los Angeles or possibly San Diego), and Austin, Texas. The first three make sense given geography and politics; no one seems to have any clue about how that last one made it on.
Given how unpredictable Kim Jong-un has already proved, the latest threat isn't entirely being brushed off by the international community. Still, the Pentagon doesn't appear to be very worried. "The United States is fully capable of defending itself and our allies,” Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. Catherine Wilkinson told reporters in Washington today. "North Korea’s bellicose rhetoric and threats follow a pattern designed to raise tensions and intimidate others."

Because Austin’s smugness about its low unemployment rate has grated on Kim Jong-un’s last nerve.

Just sayin'... lol
As much as a whole lot of Texans don’t like Austin much, they could still kick North Korea’s hind end all by themselves.
For sure since this guy lives in a tony suburb of Seoul. Probably or most likely several missiles and artillery aimed at Seoul and surrounding ‘burbs.
Texans keep complaining of the many transplants from other blue states, especially from California.
Well, that’s one way to make people stop moving there. :)
RE: For sure since this guy lives in a tony suburb of Seoul
Does the South Korean government know about this?
lol
Whoa, Sgt. Friday, you can't blame that on the Pentagon.
If they had orders to defend the border, the border would be defended.
As long as they attack before Obama's bedtime.
The rest of Texas is thinking “Do it. Do it.”
When I read these stories, I almost feel like I’m watching an old “Get Smart” episode.
RE: As long as they attack before Obama’s bedtime.
Benghazi was attacked when Obama was WIDE AWAKE.
“Hello, this is Austin. Bring it on Baby Lips.”
Bombing Austin would probably be a major net benefit to the Republic of, uh, State of Texas. We should encourage them...
It isn’t a secret at all. His latest hit was a slam on the values of this suburb, e.g., really high incomes, uppity attitudes, etc. Psy is a product of this and grew up in this area.
Speaking as a Texan...who would miss it?
It’s too bad that my moonbat relatives live just outside Austin.
In response, President Obama... Aw, never mind.
Only because there are no tony suburbs of Pyongyang.
Someone had to defeat Charlie Chaplin.
