hey guys so as we all know north korea has been acting like north korea lately. with this dismissal of the armistice, threats of nuclear annihilation, and their recent video showing the white house explode, i have to wonder - are they capable of sending a nuclear missile to dc accurately? i am primarily concerned because i live in Baltimore, about a 1 hr drive from the capital. i know none of us are experts, but what are some of OT's "thoughts"?

First off, no they don't. Second, anything they launched our way would likely be shot down before it even left Asia. The only country that has anything to fear is SK.

Whether or not North Korea can successfully launch a nuke against the U.S. is not important. North Korea talks a big game, but I think even they know if they were to try anything serious, their entire nation would get wiped out in a matter of days. Most likely scenario is they'll bankrupt themselves before they ever launch an attack at anyone.

We keep talking about a possible nuclear missile strike on the US.. Why does it have to be a nuclear missile strike? Why couldn't North Korea simply smuggle a nuclear warhead into the U.S. and detonate it suicide bomber style from the back of a van?

It's possible they could hit the west coast I guess. But they only have a 10 kt bomb. While it's still a nuke that's a lot smaller than what we think of as nukes these days. Hell it's smaller than the bombs dropped on Japan. That and they seem to mess up half their rocket tests and the fact you can shoot down missiles like that I don't think there's a big issue. SK and Japan have something to fear though.

I meant they'd have to alter their best missile but it doesn't have that much further to go to hit the western continental US so with some improvements they could which if their intent is to nuke the US then they'll be working on that goal. They could hit Anchorage or Hawaii as things are now though. It's far more likely they'd go for Japan though.

I'd imagine smuggling a nuclear warhead into the U.S. would be much more difficult than trying your luck at firing a missile.
