Lesson learnt, don't declare yourself a pacifist nation cuase all that's going to happen is you get picked on, or in this case have missiles fired over your head.
Chinas laughing all the way to the bank, no ones going to do anything about NK and some of their local rivals, SK and japan (plus the US), will be spending fortunes on trying to get their anti-ICBM tech to work and still look politically weak in the region every time a missile goes off.

they aren't exactly defenceless.
7th v 23rd. It would be like mayweather v mcgregor! 😆

what would be the environmental effects of nuking every square inch of the NK border with stealthier nuke tipped cruise missiles - to wipe out the artillery in a first strike?
If the US was to go full Trump - what could be done to minimize South Korean causalities?
Whats the latest research on nuclear winters etc?
Not good - the chances of convincing everybody else to leave their toys at home would be low. It would probably escalate very messily.

Probably not good for Seoul 35 miles away.
That video seems to forget we've had far more than 100 surface nuclear explosions during the testing years.
Rachel
At different places and points in times though Rachel, I think that video is more to the point of 100 consecutive or simultaneous explosions in very close proximity, say NK for example.
Having the explosions all in one locality makes their global effect even less pronounced. Whether they happen simultaneously or over the matter of a decade makes little difference to the climate
And remember Tsar Bomba, a 50 MT device, far greater than multiple tactical weapons that are normally dialled to 17KT yield, didn't create a noticeable effect.

Id love to know if the yanks are feeding all their satellite imagery and intel into something like googles deepmind to wargame a first strike in a million different ways to see if it could be done....

Still does nothing to offset the inevitable humanitarian disaster that accompanies the fall of North Korea.
yeah... its a zero sum game isnt it.
Still.... does Trump even care about NK civilians?
I really doubt Trump cares about NK civilians but it could tank South Korea too. It could cause massive damage to the Chinese economy and the global economy by extension.
It's a disaster every which way. The best possible outcome is a stalemate, then gradual deescalation over decades.
The Tsar Bomba and many of the other atmospheric tests were higher altitude airbursts, to minimise fallout. That wouldn't be the case in a war.
just seen 2 b1 bombers heading towards Lakenheath the end is nigh! not very stealth though even at altitude loud enough to wake the dead.
