Only a US planning invasion need fear North Korean nukes
The following was posted to Forget War: Containment is the Best Way to Deal With North Korea (27/6/2018) |The American conservative and is awaiting moderation.
Anyone who thinks about the issue for more than two minutes would realise that, unless the leadership of North Korea is suicidally insane, their nuclear weapons could not possibly pose a threat to the United States.
Given that the United States and its allies have vastly more nuclear and conventional weapons than does North Korea, any preemptive launch of nuclear weapons by North Korea would almost certainly cause their country to be devastated even more than it was between 1950 and 1953 (when, according to United States Air Force General Curtis Le May, 25% of North Korea's population died).
The only time the United States or its allies within South Korea need ever fear North Korean nuclear weapons would be during the course of an attack launched by them against North Korea.
