In 24 years NK has added thousands of artillery pieces and probably thousands of SRCM within range of Seoul.
In 24 years NK has stated numerous times they will rain fire on SK, JP, USA. They are not closer to that capability than any time before.
In 24 years NK has won some battles of appeasement and lost others - all the time getting closer to where we are today. (ArmsControlWonk - a left leaning site - has a lot of good Open Source info on where there programs may be)
Of course this is Trump's fault. The balance, ironically, may be McMasters and Mattis
Tump is capt of the ship like all those before him only history will show who if anyone's is at fault .. we can't even agree what success even looks like
Tough call - no I do not want to see this go hot. You will probably see 200k+ South Korean dead, particularly around Seoul, if you only suffer 1% dead from the greater Seoul Metro area. If it does not go nuclear.
If NK was somehow able to deliver nukes within 100 miles of its border and were to go nuclear just in SK maybe 3-5 million?
This is if it goes nuclear on the Korean Peninsular, not including JP, US, etc. But still before mating warheads to ICBMs.
So it is the USA's fault?

What I said was unentional consequences .. the America saw north Korea as weak. But yes the Unite states
is responsible for its actions(brining nukes to south korea) as is north korea responsibel for their response but many American's don't know the whole story . And think it's just one sided
