      Range and guidance are not the whole package. I severely doubt North Korea has the ability to defeat US missile defenses.

        Is an entire country worth losing just to be able to strike one US city? They’d be glass before the missile even lands thanks to SK. Wouldn’t even get to see it go off maybe.

        Nukes only make sense if you expect you have a good chance of winning with them. They only make sense for those who are dying like Putin.
