the North's medium range missiles put in range everything from Guam to Okinava, Japan included. We are talking of hundreds of missiles. And we DON'T KNOW how many nukes North Korea produced or imported.

The North's newest missiles shown on military parade, that first were thought to be photoshoped images, are the real concern for mainland USA. Seems the North either developed them in full secrecy, or imported them. In any case, after they were revealed the tensions increased dramatically. Because Taepodong-2 needs hours to fuel one single rocket and as we saw it is not the best in the world. While the new missiles without name are mobile, ready to fire (solid fuel?) and apparently have the range to hit continental USA if it is admitted in the US media.

Many people take it for a joke and do not lose chance to tease Kim or North regime. I don't know how good the US anti missile defense is. Because we are talking of tens of millions people that will die in minutes. What if USA wins, what will be the consolation for the lost Los Angeles for example?

And also, any such nuclear exchange will go very close to total nuclear war. The generation that thinks in MAD terms, is wrong and outdated. Seems to me those people even if they are in America, want the demise of USA and the world altogether, may be because of their advanced age and other social factors. They don't think or want a future of this planet and her billions of people. And there is a future.
