FVPOA posted:1, What are the chances a North Korean warhead could reach Guam without being shot down?
2. What are the chances that if North Korea did launch an attack, the U.S. wouldn't be able to blow them off the face of earth?
3. Is there anyone who can now stop Kim or Trump?
Dire? Anyone?
1. What makes you think that N. Korea can even hit Guam with a nuke? There is some speculation that they might be more interested in just frying electrical grids and equipment with an EMP burst nearby and that can be accomplished in space or upper atmosphere before an interceptor hits the warhead.

2. The Norks have had about 65 years to dig bunkers and hidey holes, so getting the leadership would be difficult but with a centrally planned economy socialist created human disaster, destroying the transportation infrastructure and other necessary things to supply troops and the populous will be easy. After a couple of weeks with no fuel, food, and other supplies, China might get its just deserts for all its help when its borders become crowded with deserters. For a couple of weeks, the Air Force will be really pushed to get all the Nork's heavy artillery around Seoul .
3. It's up to the N. Korean leadership and the countries who prop him up to decide to stop him; Trump's job is to protect the US and to respond to attacks and provocations. If little Kim decides that suicide by smart bomb is the way to go, who's to say he shouldn't get his wish.
