Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

      North Korean nukes would hit coastal cities and DC. Both are Trump's political adversaries. It would greatly energize his base.

      I doubt that he consciously holds such a strategy, but those facts might be in the background influencing what seems an acceptable risk.

          I sincerely doubt NK ICBMs have the capability to hit anything at a non-trivial distance with any accuracy, let alone cross the Pacific.

          As a result I imagine he would try to hit the closest major target. Anchorage or san francisco and eventually LA.

          I think all they can hit is the ocean because you don't really have to aim to hit it, nor do you need your vehicle to survive re-entry.

          Yeah. Decent chance if they fired a nuke at the moment that it would be a dud.

          Trump likes you and wants you to live. His job description/reputation demands that he protect the safety and security of your state.

          And not saying he consciously considers this but how much money would he lose if NYC were nuked? Oh and he probably would be sad to see it.

          It's one thing to imagine politicians consider their desire to win elections it's another to imagine it magically becomes their only concern

          So his base would cheer him on for bringing on nuclear destruction of democrat's cities? Why no civil war in the US right now, if they hate?

          Because the real cause of civil war is not just hate.
