So now North Korea have claimed to have a Hydrogen Bomb? They've certainly detonated the largest device yet but what are they aiming to do with it?
What can anyone "do" about North Korea? Anything? The rest of the World realises that China have absolutely no intentions of helping put a stop the what N Korea is up to soooooo, what to do?
All speculation at the moment but NK will probably fire a missile close to or over Guam to show what it's capability is. They might do it more than once before doing it for real?
What are the options? 1/do nothing. 2/fire a missile at some NK military site, 3/fire an overwhelming batch of missiles at all military sites, all infrastucture sites (electricity, oil, rail, road bridges, reservoirs, water treatment & dams).
What would the result be? For 1/ NK will carry on regardless of the ineffective talking shop of the UN. For 2/ NK would open up all those artillery pieces at S Korea and probably fire missiles at Guam and Japan plus unleash what aircraft they have at the American fleet.
Now for 3/..... NK would be finished but in the process of their limited retalliation would also cause widespread deaths and destruction in S Korea. After that, there would be great condemnation of the US from Russia and China who might even see the opportunity of joining forces in attacking the US thinking the capability of the US would be drastically reduced after expending so many missiles on NK. WW3??????
Now, what do you think?
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
