(16,646 posts)The stuff we'd really like to hit is so deeply buried we can't get to it without nukes, and even then we might not be able to get to the stuff. Think of NORAD only more deeply buried. The stuff we can hit won't significantly cripple them. Mostly we'd just hurt the civilians.
Also, SK isn't interested in us stirring crap up, and neither are the Chinese. They don't need a nuclear war on their border.
However, NK could easily do something amazingly dumb that could throw the whole area into a massive conflict, especially since Trump is perfectly capable of doing something equally as stupid. Don't be surprised if this thing blows up, generals start resigning out of protest or refusal to carry out certain orders.
The only thing in our favor is that Trump doesn't wanna screw up Ivanka's merchandising deals in China.
