So what you're saying is Trump is a rational leader?

If all my immediate neighbors had weapons that could wipe me out, it would be irrational of me not to have the weapons they have!

Allowing NK to develop this will give them the upper hand in all negotiations, because their playing card will be "we can hit you." The US will lose a lot of leverage if we allow NK to develop this, we will end up basically paying tribute to NK to deter them from striking us.

Well stated.

It will never happen.
But I have to ashamedly admit that the idea of Hollywood, Nancy Pelosi, the whole Bay Area, millions of illegals, anarchists, racists, and arrogant liberal elites instantly vanishing and going up in smoke has its appeal.....

LOL -- yep, disgusting, but I can't help it.
Just got finished reading about CA professor who is openly advocating the public hanging of Trump and building a monument to his assassin. And then there's Madonna also from CA who fantasizes blowing up the White House. Berkeley rioters beating up Trump supporters and not allowing free speech on campus. Many many many more like this from CA --- THEY ARE DEPLORABLE ! Wouldn't you agree?

However, there might be one if team Trump is allowed to stampede like a herd of panicked buffalo.

The debate on who has the right to have nukes, and who has the right to declare who can and cannot have them has been on going for decades. Should Pakistan be allowed to have them? China? India? Israel? France? Who decides?
THAAD or Navy SM2 missiles can down any missile launches NK attempts.

You just have to love some of the posts here. I understand people's hatred towards california, however,

In term of millions of illegals, anarchists, racists, and arrogant liberals elites, well they live Among Us. Remember that! Be careful what you wish for.

I don't think NK will do such a thing, however, let's consider the scenario,

It begins with a flash brighter than the sun. Trees, fences, and people immediately catch fire. The only reason you survive is because you run inside and dive into the cast-iron tub just as the shock wave arrives. You stumble to your lopsided front door and look out on the burning ruin of your neighborhood. The deadly radioactive fallout is on its way. Should you stay in your wobbling house or run across town to the public library to shelter in its basement?

NO war please. IF there is a war, better THEM than US. Destroy them over there.

They can't shoot down an ICBM unless they can catch it in the boost phase. (very difficult to do)

Beyond that, there is no defense.
