So, what are the chances that any launch of any kind from North Korea could or would reach its intended target? From what I know of military weapons systems, even those that were used as long ago as 1989 (during Operation Desert Storm) there is precious little that Pyongyang at this point in their abilities could throw at the United States that would be functionally effective. Most every missile, if not every missile, would be matched against our defense systems, as well as our fighters and battleships off the coast of the peninsula.
After the very first missile was launched, Central Command would initiate a massive response that would, in effect, be aimed at, a) military installations and missile launch sites, b) military headquarters and leadership, c) power grid, d) infrastructure (including airports, airstrips, bridges, highways, water delivery systems, e) communications, and f) dictator’s palace.
Following the initiation of that quick response in airstrikes, battleships off the coast of the Korean Peninsula would begin pounding the corps, division, battalion and brigade level troop clusters, disabling the possibility of an armed conflict between North and South Korea.
In the meantime, South Korea would be focusing on the massive refugee flood that will necessarily take place across their borders while Japan and Australia will be focusing on the mobile fleet and submarine force that will be roving in both the South China Sea and Pacific Ocean.
Meanwhile, in preparation for all of this, North Korea is pumping out the 1940s styled propaganda replete with Communist Worker posters and banners, both antiquated and nostalgic.

Don’t worry, we’ll feed them good stuff
Good luck getting them all over here to the US.
Slaves
We could burn them on the trucks. Light them up boys
We have 80 million armed and ready.
Right!
One nuclear war had will take out a few and the rest that follows will turn N.Korea into a useless piece of land for 100 years.
If the North Korean leader is not careful, he may get exactly what he’s been pretending he wants: a war with the United States. Perhaps, though, Trump’s tough words will serve to tamp down tensions and the president (although he will never get the credit for it in the FNIC) will have averted his first major international event with the power of a promise.
We have over 60 milion armed and willing
…each one weighing a mere 67 lbs…..they are a force to be reakoned with.
