This article appears to be an opinion piece, containing links back to the author's book on Amazon. Not much to see here.

Similar discussion on this topic from yesterday, though not really any more insightful:

Article is nonsense a high altitude detonation would in no way prevent retaliation. After reading this i stopped wasting my time.

The article summarized: "NK has EMP!!!1 Buy my book!"

also remember, the US can not shoot down ICBMs.

what i fear most is that US initiates an attack on N korea and then when things look bleak, the north retaliates with an icbm as the last resort.

i dont think we should corner them.

the powers at play seem tremendously dangerous, theres china, russia, iran.

Valid points, assuming NK has ICBMs. Being able to theoretically hit Japan is one thing; being able to target SF, NYC, or DC is quite another.
