Someone said that at the poker table the other day and I went off on like a 60-second monologue about how many mobile missile launchers North Korea probably has and how any pre-emptive strike is really a gamble on whether or not we hit the right ones, otherwise it's a lock they will launch a nuke at us, raze Seoul with conventional weapons that we can't get to due to mountainous terrain, etc, etc... While meanwhile KJU is less likely to be a madman than we are led to believe, that his quest for the nuke has more to do with his own survival/prosperity than much else, and that he knows using it is a death sentence for him and his people, so he has no reason to. The guy next to me, ex-Iranian military, was like "You're in the army, right?" He didn't believe I wasn't and I had to explain that I am a curious person and just read a lot.
Shockingly, people actually understood and started asking me questions to learn more about it and we had a pretty awesome conversation about politics and conflicts around the world. The usual response from the derposphere is just, "Whatever, we'll just hit them so fast and so hard they are powerless to respond USA#1 MURICA!"
