Hell fucking no. Yes the United States does have the capacity to annihilate the Korean Peninsula off the map but that would easily cause a domino effect where the North Koreans could fire missiles in the other direction annihilating the West Coast.
Now let's add the Nuclear arsenal of other countries like Iran, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, the United kingdom etc. Now it wouldn't be a localised war like the earlier world wars but potentially spell the end of not only North Korea, but the entire planet.
Anyway North Korea is nothing but rattling it's saber. I believe this entire build up is for the New and rather young leader Kim Jong Um to consolidate his power among the North Korean populous.
Dont be silly, N.Korea couldn't even reach U.S. mainland. U.S. Missile defense system is top of the line, even if you want to pretend N.Korea could launch that far across the Pacific. we would knock them down many miles off our coast.
This is nothing more than posturing. Making Kim Jong Un look ridiculous in the process. Like a Chihuahua picking a fight with a Pit Bull.
They won't even invade S.Korea, because they know it would provoke a U.S. attack on themselves.
But what about the repercussions should the US launch missiles? Would you think Russia and China would stand by and ignore this?
Nuclear warfare is a completely different ball game, the effects will not only effect Korea but the entire world. What about the out laying US territories like Guam or Hawaii? What about the American bases in Japan and South Korea?
Oh and no doubt the North Koreans know superiority of the US arms - but with a fanatic government who brainwashes it's people - no doubt they will adopt a Nazi type scotch earth policy.
Russia and China ignore what? The U.S. defending itself from an aggressive, unprovoked military strike?
If they (N.Korea) hit Hawaii or any other base of U.S. operations, their entire country will be flattened.
Kim Jung Un is just a little kid with a new big toy trying to get attention.
I'm more concerned with Obama launching an aggressive military offensive against Iran. It would be sure to upset NATO if U.S. continues to invade the middle east.
Iran is just picking at the chance to torment the United States - I wouldn't be surprised if it uses the tension on the Korean Peninsula to rattle it's toys.
Why would the U.S. care about the fallout if they decide to nuke North Korea?
The radioactive radius of such a fallout would would probably only be a couple of miles (or less) as I don't think they would use their biggest bombs on such a little country. (And when I say not use their biggest I mean not wipe N.Korea completely off the planet)
Also, they would drop the bomb in a place where the blast would not affect China or South Korea.
The Korean Peninsula is stuck bang in the middle of an area that is surrounded by China on it's Northern border and across the sea on it's West Coast. On it's East Coast is Russia which is North East of it.
With the winds coming from the East Sea/Sea of Japan - imagine the fall out landing on China's East Coast. I doubt China would stand by while its own territory could be potentially affected by it.
Now think of the economic implications it could spell for the United States and the West. Asia is a production zone for most of our goods. Arab states and other oil producing states could restrict oil production to the West. Millions of refugees from North Korea would swamp South Korea.
Now who would fit the bill? The already drowning in debt West?

I saw a chihuahua attack a pit bull once. He grabbed the pit bull's balls with its teeth and didn't let go...

So the United States uses it's shield technology - now... what happens with the Nuclear fall out?

Please do not use the Archaic term referring to a fictitious nether world.
Thank you.
