text: IRT Marauders_1959, the U.S. will not strike first.  If NK let's a ICBM fly over SK or Japan, it will probably get shot down this time.  Also, the U.S. has some 21 submarines in the Pacific (PH) with an average of 20 SCBM's per or some 420 SCBM's aimed at NK.  Then add the Aircraft Carriers and AF Bombers on alert.  NK would not exist as a Country in say 60 minutes.  Imua.
