This. The threat of NK nukes has never been to the US, but to Japan and SK and other parts of Asia. That's bad enough.https://twitter.com/summerbrennan/status/853616257635110912 …

The threat of strikes against military centers in Japan is an order of magnitude more concerning.
-
We should be concerned for that because that's the powder keg that can happen today.
-
If we are only ever concerned about today’s powder kegs, we will never have peace. The real key here is US-China relations.
-
Reaching an accord on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in six-party talks could be the basis for a regional peace
-
Of course. But the point of those talks needs to not be "we're afraid of California." That's centering the US over at best a distant concern
-
I mean, I kind of live here, and it’s not like these aren’t interlocking concerns.
-
yeah but "us centering its distant concerns over asian nations in asian affairs" is kinda the source of this mess.
-
Good thing I’m not advocating for the US to center its concerns or for the numerous disasters that’d result from a strike

Two decades ago they were far from technically capable of successfully testing nuclear weapons at all.
-
Even if they had capability, it's not in their disposition to use them that way. Japan and SK are always going to be targets before US.
-
Sure, but it’s perfectly within their disposition to sell their nuclear technology on the black market.
-
Especially if we’re dumb enough to keep sanctioning them and not engaging diplomatically.

So how many years away do you think they are from deploying the solid-fuel ICBMs they paraded the other day?
