Very few have the range to sail to America, those that do are 50's / 60's tech.
North Korea threatens US with a pre-emptive nuclear strike.

If he attacks anything it will be South Korea, and that's most unlikely, as previously, he needs to flex to maintain his position, and in doing so hope the West throws him a bone to STFU, like some more grain to feed his people.

Maybe he'll just execute half his army and Photoshop a glorious victory over the US.

Probably been posted here before but the US cant nuke North Korea, there are too many innocents there, if they do, they'll hate us more. People try to escape from that place, the best thing we can do is help them.
I'm sure if Korea starts nuking places they'll have some dropped on them, there may be innocents but that's the cost of starting a nuclear war.
That was one of Hitler's plans, take a sub over to the US and fire a rocket.Probably a dumbass question but what's to stop them sticking it on a boat and sailing (say) 2/3 the distance and launching from there? They could surely find a big enough fishing boat or something?
Apparently a tricky engineering feat to pull off though.

They would gain better accuracy by taking one of its allowed civilian airlines load it with a nuke and fly it into a SK city.

They were meant to get within range of the Eastern seaboard of the US and rain V2s down onto New York. I can't remember the codename for the project, but I believe it involved a normal u-boat towing a launcher behind it that contained the V2 rocket. Once within range they'd set up the launcher and fire. Like you said though, very difficult to pull off engineering wise.

Do you not think the US tracks everything(surfaced/submerged) that's comes from North Korean waters! They don't have the biggest most advanced naval fleet for no reason(one carrier carries more aircraft than 80% of the worlds airforces) lol, they would sink any North Korean submarine that got to within 500 miles of US territorial waters.

I agree with the gist of what you're trying to say, but ...erm what??.....
Never mind I just re-read and now understand what you were saying

Took me a few reads but I understand what hes saying - one US carrier has more aircraft than the combined total of the lesser 80% of countries that have airforces. Obviously it doesn't have 80% of all the airforces in the world (Egypt alone has way more).

Well, the USA have 71 submarines. I presume some of those wont be following North Korean subs.
Soldato
Not how I read it.
One USA aircraft carrier has a bigger airfleet than 80% of countries airforces. (individually, not combined).

And also early warning systems for subs built during the cold war (and subsequently upgraded).

Not if it was a scheduled flight, which the country is allowed to operate.
It wouldn't surprise me if the US sunk any North Korean sub that was outside North Korean territorial waters
Man of Honour
Wow. Just wow.
