The prickly North, which has repeatedly threatened in recent weeks to reduce the South to ashes, is thought to be readying its longest-range
missile -- which could reach U.S. territory -- for launch in what analysts say is a bid to grab the new U.S. administration's attention and put
pressure on Seoul.

Now, N.K's leader "CLAIMS" the US is ready to nuke them.
If, and I mean,"IF" the US was considering nuking N.K., threatening to distroy S.K. along with 30 thousand or so American troops will not diter, but
incurage this action
If the US wants to vaporize little N.K., there is really nothing he can do to stop it.
He needs to realize this and stop trying to goad the US into attacking them.
If he gets his wish, the US could vaporize all his troops/tanks and and artillary with one or two well place nukes or a few "MOAB's.
If he wants security, he needs to try to make peace, not war with S.K./U.S./Japan/China?/Russia?
If you look at a map of N.K. vs China and Russia, you will see any nukes exploded in Korea(either North or South) will send radiation to both China
and Russia.
This can be a real issue for N.K. as well as the US(If the US used a nuke or two on N.K.).
