I'm fairly positive north korea has NO capability to attack mainland USA with any type of ordinance, let alone nuclear. The people of guam and south korea should be very nervous though. There was a time when I would have said I'm nervous, but the people of north korea would revolt if north korean leadership did anything to further the suffering on the already starving, impoverished people there.
There are roughly 50,000 american soldiers within 3 hours of the north korean capital, as well as extensive air and sea military support nearby. Any serious north korean attacks would be met witg harsh retaliation which would put their nation back 200 years, do you think the people there will watch this happen?
What about china? They have already spoken out against kim jong uns actions and words. Do you think they will risk losing the support of the only financial powerhouse in the world to prove a point?
I don't, and don't forget south korea is no pushover, they would likely strike preemptively with or without UN backing,..hopefully with the full support of the US military.
Any nation which threatens to literally wipe another nation off the planet through nuclear devestation has already proven they don't deserve the right to use nuclear power...ever.

I'm not in any way argueing that the US OR South Korea would stomp the fuck outta North Korea if the time came. what i'm worried about is the fact that if they did somehow get a surprise attack of with technology "we don't know about" it would cost millions if not more lives of the US population or S. Korea.
We have been surprised before.......
