They can deliver nukes to Japan and SK. The general said that some of the NK launch sites are buried so deep in the mountains as well as their conventional arms that the only way to get to them quick enough if something breaks out you would have to use nukes.
Everything I've read indicates they haven't miniturized the nukes enough to launch via missle.

Have they demonstrated the tech to put nukes on those missiles?
No, not yet

Could damn near hit Seoul with a trebuchet

Why China Fears North Korea (and Its Not All About Nuclear Weapons)
On Sept. 8, North Korea conducted its fifth nuclear test, the second since January 2016.
The regime confirmed the nuclear test, claiming to now have “a variety of smaller, lighter, and diversified nuclear warheads of higher strike power … standardized [to be] mounted on strategic ballistic rockets.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported a 5.3 magnitude seismic event near the Punggyi-ri nuclear test site. The seismic level is consistent with, although higher than, North Korea’s previous nuclear tests. An expert commented that the explosion could have been 10 to 20 kilotons, the largest test to date and approximately the size of the Hiroshima explosion.
Clearly, North Korea is becoming more aggressive—and it’s time the United States took further action, despite China’s resistance.
This year alone North Korea has engaged in a rapid-fire series of nuclear and missile tests. In addition to the two nuclear tests, Kim Jong Un has successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile, a road-mobile intermediate-range missile, a submarine-launched ballistic missile, upgraded medium- and short-range missiles, re-entry vehicle technology, a new solid-fuel rocket engine, and an improved liquid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile engine.
During Kim’s four-year reign, Pyongyang has conducted 37 missile tests, more than twice as many as his father Kim Jong Il did during 17 years in office. North Korea currently has the ability to threaten South Korea and Japan with nuclear weapons, target U.S. bases as far away as Guam, and continues to develop a nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missile to threaten the American homeland.

It's Zero Hedge and who can believe propaganda it's like believing CNN or not... but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that China would take military action on NKorea.

At this point it sounds like they'd need to get it there via ground vehicle or bomber. But it's a scary situation regardless.

At Japan or SK. If they do it, we have no choice but to strike back with our Minutemen or Polaris missiles.
Not our only choice. Our destroyers would shoot those out the sky and respond via conventional means. The Chinese would probably invade, but after Afgan and Iraq - let them. The real threat is artillery pointed at Seoul.

Actually it was Col. David Hunt.
ETA: my kid's soccer coach is a Col. It's definitely a possibility but just because a Ret. Col says it doesn't make it fact.

I think we need to let them hit California, Oregon, Washington, New York, and Washington and then respond and wipe them out. Should work out well for everyone involved. We may be about to kill Wun Dum Fuk.

NK already has missiles that can easily hit anyone in Asia. What they are working on now are missiles that can hit America, and they are pretty close to making that a reality.
They have ICBMs, the question is do they have missiles capable of transporting their less than efficiently built nuclear warheads.
I don't know specifics about their actual nuclear warheads. Are they compact, or the size of a truck requiring help from SpaceX to launch? If they are capable of delivering their nukes which models of their ICBMs are capable, how have those performed in tests, do our cyber warfare assets know these answers and have kill switches to these?

Sorry, the colonel.
I hope you are right. Either way SK would be in a bind.

Remember when the Clintons gave them a pass and, effectively, a path to nukes?
Same deal was made under Obama with Iran - so welcome to 8 years from now over there.
NK is just a preview of the Iranian situation in ~2025.

Iran is quite a different case imo, but possibly.

How hard is it to load a couple in shipping containers and ship them wherever you need a nuke?
I imagine pretty difficult when all traffic from every port is being monitored and scrutinized. Don't ya think??
Almost none of it is....you could put a sizeable bomb on a small yacht and steam right into New York without anyone taking any notice...
Posted on 4/13/17 at 8:52 pm to Dawgfanman
Anyone believe NK can't send a nuke SK way?
They ain't hitting us but its not out the question SK and Japan could be targets. Why isn't that the focus?

Where's that small yacht's port of origin?
