There's only a thousand ways they can do it if they REALLY want to.

NK does not have ballistic missile capable subs, they have older diesel class boats, torps only. The sub mounted artillery piece idea is a cool concept though. Except the deck guns are what, 5 inch? They'd have to sail up the Potomac and surface first.... and if successful, they'd likely loose the sub in the explosion.

But then, this is really reaching, and is assuming that they have nuclear warheads small enough for artillery. Or a backpack. Those would be tac nukes, 1-10 KT range. Level a couple city blocks, kill a LOT of people, but they aren't nation killers. And that's assuming they have the tech and material to make 'em, they are a lot different and harder to make than the larger nukes.

Much better chance of them attacking our strong points in SK to weaken our armor and air capabilities before they pour across the border.

I don't understand the rightie and leftie crap and why the US has to govern the world when we are truly the model for CRAP.

Anyway, I don't want to go up in a mushroom cloud. If a bomb is headed our way I will do a swan dive off the bridge of my choice.

Scary times.

did you miss the part where Soweto / Gates are ending funding for the Missile Defense Shield

Try this:

Ground Zero | Carloslabs

I would expect NKPDR to try this as well :



I know I would If I was a Crazed Dictator

a 50 MT would cast blast damage out to Laplata and as far north as Elliot City

the stuff NK has are WWII sized, barely gets outside the downtown area
