<>Assuming a 150kt warhead (their last test) and a 3 mile CEP (easily achievable), an explosion 2,000 ft over San Francisco or Seattle would kill AT LEAST 500,000 in the first few minutes. Taking out cities is easy.

If Kim Jong-Un takes out San Fran, do you think California will vote Republican next time?

No way this backward bunch is developing this technology on their own. The Russkies or Chinese are fronting this.

"The problem with North Korea is that there are so many realistic scenarios where launching a preemptive nuclear attack on the US is a rational decision on Kim’s part"

Don't try to talk any sense into this thread; there are an alarming number of FReepers -- who race for every single Pol Potbelly thread -- to specifically deny this obvious-as-a-nuclear-glass-chalkline paradigm precisely because they or their loved ones live on the Left Coast in the crosshairs.

Thusly assembled to date, the most-accomplished War Cabinet of the post-modern era; we pray for no need for such; but there is no patience here for those who run down the scenarios of causality and the considerable survivability.

It is sophisticated 1950’s era technology.

I posted last night about this problem and frankly do not see a way out except to strike a deal with the Chinese that was listed above. We leave the peninsula if China takes out Rocket Boy. If China enters through the back door, would NK shell Seoul? How soom could China mass troops. There has been some build up I remember reading about several weeks ago.

I am not paranoid living here on the West Coast, but it is getting dicey. If China won’t budge or belive that we will defend our interests, then War unfortunately is the only way.

How many mobile Nuke launchers can the Rocket Boy assemble before we strike? Supposedly all his nukes are launching off of mobile launchers. Makes sense, can’t find them until its too late.

Between a rock and a hard place with this one. We are trying diplomancy but so far no dice. China sent an emissary. No dice. President has to solve NK before he can neuter Iran. I really hope we have some hocus-pocus stuff that we’ve been keeping quiet because this may be the time to us it. Maybe Hologram UFO’s over NK capital or something weird like that...maybe use those craft we’ve been hiding in Area 51 or something. I dunno. Any ideas? Because if he has just one ready to go, then he will use it unless we destroy it and the ten dummies he fires at the same time.

We should jam and use the emp cruise missiles to disrupt all communications in norkland. All while we bomb and cruise missile and shell every known weapon and leadership position in Korea. We could also drop empty bombs with food and guns for the populace. I don’t think North Korea could counter this. As long as it was a surprise attack. If we miss a missiles or anything important it might. It matter. the military may have given up after Donald Trumps shock and awe ! They are all hungry and abused people and they have some inklings of how much better the rest of the world has it .

On the other hand, I detect an attempt to back down while saving face in this declaration that NK’s nuclear arsenal is now complete. Perhaps the Chicoms worked it out with them, after putting the squeeze on in politely understated Eastern euphemisms.

The Chicoms really-really don’t want a nuclear Japan. That upsets their strategic interests bigly. A nuclear Japan is possibly the only option that would get the Chicoms to take out fat boy.
