North Korea Attention Whoring Ridiculous Even By North Korean Standards
By John
North Korea, which has managed to detonate two nuclear bombs with a combined (insignificant) yield of 3-4kt, is threatening to use their somewhat underwhelming stockpile. Yawn.
North Korea has warned of a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula while vowing to step up its atomic weapons programme in defiance of new UN sanctions.Today's Rodong Sinmun, a state-run North Korean newspaper, claimed the US has 1,000 nuclear weapons in South Korea. Another state-run publication claimed that America had been deploying nuclear weapons in Japan as well.
A few thoughts....
1) If your enemy had 1k nuclear weapons, why would you be threatening war when you only have 2?
2) 1,000 bombs are useless without a delivery system. We use bombers, subs, and ICBMs -- none of which are even remotely close to Korea (bombers are the closest, forward deployed to Guam). All the theater nuke shit we had, like the Pershing and GLCM, went bye-bye nearly two decades ago.
3) You'd need appx. 20-25 bombs (tops) to dismantle North Korea militarily -- and just one, detonated 100 feet or so above Pyongyang-- to kill them off politically. 1000 is, uh, slightly excessive.
4) Said bombs could be on target in less than 30 minutes from you reading this post, via our ICBM force. A bit longer via bomber (two B-2s is all you need).
5) The Norks are such tools....

That's a question for BN, but it's probably classified.
So many options!
Lets see,could go the route of ICBM launch from a silo,multiple MERVS,and the B-2 would work just as nice too!
I like the SLBM from a Ballistic Submarine
parked off the coast of Kim-ill,that would
be the route I choose!
Oh,since the W-88 is compact,er smaller,I'm
guessing here,maybe it could be stuffed in a
cruise-missile,and tucked under a F-15 Strike Eagle,or a Tomahawk with a W-80!!!
U fool!
DPRK is a anti-US communist country.even it has only a conventional bomb is also a big threat for freeworld.
US always want to topple DPRK authority for about 60 years.
Any communist country or extreme islamic country in the world,is the mustbe get rid off target for US army!
I suppose from an idle chatter standpoint this discussion is interesting, but my guess is the 30 or so million South Koreans who would see the mushroom clouds from their bedroom windows would not be all that happy with any nukes, NK or ours, going off. With the prevailing winds heading toward Japan, my guess is the residents there would rather a more conventional attack be attempted.
John:
Instead of wasting our energy on North Korea, the best thing we can do is ignore the little bastard! He is the bully seeking attention. Of course if he use a nuke on either South Korea or Japan all bets are off and living in the Stone Age should be the result.
It was a very nice idea! Just wanna say thank you for the information you have shared. Just continue writing this kind of post. I will be your loyal reader. Thanks again.

Could be quicker than 30 minutes via SLBM?
