Can you clarify - in what way do you think it's impossible? Are you talking about the technical issues of identifying and destroying the sites and launchers, or are you talking about the political issues of who does what afterwards?
What I mean is that we aren't dealing with a unintelligent population chained to a medieval superstition like say Iraq or Libya.
Can the US destroy the sites? Probably. But I fully imagine that he has his nuclear scientists well protected and that as soon as he thinks its remotely safe they will be back to producing fissile material to make warheads.
The problem isn't so much physical as it is intellectual, unless you have a bomb that can make a population with a mean IQ around 105 to have a mean IQ around 85.
Sure. But it takes time to rebuilt nuclear reactors to produce plutonium, and enrichment plants for bomb grade uranium. Those can be destroyed faster than they can be rebuilt. Nuclear weapons take good scientists, but they require a production infrastructure.
? Another war? No, wars are like playing cards. We have too many cards in our hand, so if we add another card,
NK, we need to discard another war, say like Afghanistan. Also, don ya think we need a war tax? I think if the US fights a war, it needs to be paid for. Since we have so many wars, lets put 'em on budget and raise taxes enough to pay for them all.
"require good infrastructure" Uh, maybe they have some fissile stuff stashed. I even bet they've stashed nuke missile supplies as well. It's simple, Kim does not want to be another "We came, we saw, he died". Anyone who could, would take what the US has done in the past and stash stuff in random spots.
Political issues = I think China among others would be involved in some of that political and real fallout, so to speak.
Oh, but hey, lets get another war in Asia, cus then thats just one more thing to complete the circle. Remember the Apollo ? That's what NK's rockets remind me of.
And... campus unrest you bet. Remember that man? Alt Right = Wallace folks , assorted lefties, well, NOW then, SJW's into feminism now.
And... We even have our new Weather Underground sorts = Teenage Mutant Ninja Antifas, or they could be latter day of acolytes of Gus Hall.
I wonder if we're gonna then move on to Iran and get some more re-duxes. like a hostage crisis or oil shut off.
And so it is, what was, shall be again, what was old is new again.
