What Would Happen If Kim Jong-Un Launched A Nuclear Strike?
2017-04-15
[Daily Caller] Dozens upon dozens of missiles take flight.

For years, the world had heard warnings, but most doubted the day would ever come. Most missiles fall before allied defenses, but one finds its mark -- it’s the one that matters most. In a flash, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people perish.

Would North Korea fire off a nuclear weapon? No one knows for certain, but what we do know is that the above scenario is exactly what an aggressive and increasingly-powerful North Korea has been threatening for decades. While the reclusive regime may have previously lacked the necessary weaponry, the North now has the kind of capabilities to turn at least some of its threats into promises.

The U.S. and its East Asian allies have strategic defense assets in position, but war is full of uncertainties. "People think missile defenses are a magic wand. They aren’t," Jeffrey Lewis, a renowned arms expert, told The Daily Caller News Foundation (TheDCNF).
Lengthy article.

#7  South Korea becomes the island of Korea and we all get a couple of days of house arrest till the atmosphere clears a bit. Oh, and the snowflakes will get a taste of what it was like in the 50s with open air testing.
