Are NK's nukes weaponized?
That, indeed, is a risk of open war. However, i doubt the North Korean Leadership would be as suicidal to use strategic missiles on Seoul since a strike on Seoul would mean an imminent strike from the United States and other world powers. To do so would definitely condemn the North Korean Regime. Containing North Korea is a responsibility of the Chinese , who have a unique bilateral channel of communication with Kim Jung Un.
It is insane to think that the US would even consider Nuking NK in retaliation of the later's Nuclear strike on SK! Why would the US risk her own allies and bases within striking distance of the North, just because of South Korea?
I believe that there would be no retaliation from any country in case of an actual war b/w North and South as that would invariably mean inclusion of China and Russia which leads us to another decade of war leading to another cold war or worse, WW3!
Surely US will respond after N.Korea attack on S.Korea and Japan, but by the time that will be too late for themYou think North Korea wants to test that theory that the U.S. won't respond if North Korea nukes South Korea?
