Not good, but like anything with nuclear weapons, the really scary moment will be when one side thinks they can get away with it without crippling retaliation.

Given the US has clearly been looking at this issue, it suggests to me that they will have taken steps to ensure that their ability to strike back will not be impaired by an EMP. So at that point, it's probably just a variation on the whole nuclear strike calculation.

I remain astonished that the US is not holding China to greater account. if it were a client state of the US threatening China in this way, all hell would break loose and fashionable opinion would be sitting atop a raised roof.

It appears the propaganda machine is in full swing. A few nights on mainstream news and online is how bad NK is and how people have escaped the tyranny and live in fear and horror. Todays news we have soldiers morale is low and they are diseased. Now in Melbourne have alarms installed in the CBD for Terrorist attacks. We must be moving into attack mode.
