> because North Korea would threaten the east coast with long range nuclear missiles.

I don't think NK has currently credible launch systems to make it to the east coast (of the US)?

Also, the past century shows the US had the stomach to fight useless wars, so I'd hope NK has noticed that.



I sometimes get the two coasts confused, in this case because the west coast is east of North Korea...

In any case, the state and capability of their missile arsenal isn't widely known. The issue here is that it's not so much the will to fight an expensive war but rather to risk nuclear strikes at home just for the benefit of revenge on North Korea.


no they cant hit the east coast yet, but they could hit Seattle, Portland, Honolulu, Anchorage, possibly San Francisco. I would rather the west coast not glow in the dark thank you.
