Even what is ancient history in the era of current technology the military intel was 100% aware that Iraq was preparing to invade Kuwiat. You keep talking about the U.S. being a target of NK and it really is not nor in all likely hood will it ever be. It is our allies, South Korea, and possibly Japan that would be the priority targets for South Korea. South Korea would be the first and foremost target for NK. We are obligated to defend both and we will carry out our obligation.
In addition, no missile would be halfway here before we know that we are a target. We know within a matter of seconds what the general target of a missile is. We have capabilities that some of our enemies may know about but the public will not know about until maybe 20 years from now or longer. What the WH says or our intel agencies say, or what the media says that those agencies say, has little if anything to do with actuality. Maybe 20 years out the public may or may not know the actual truth of what is being said or even done at this moment in time.
I have been in the intel field so I know more than you or anyone else that has not been in the intel field but even I am not up to date and I never will really be up to date ever again. I still have friends that are up to date but they are pretty closed mouth as their job requires them to be and even when they speak to me, I cannot ever be certain of what they are saying, as it is the job of intel to, among other things, to be deceitful.
The bottom line is when something negative about our intel, our military, or weapons systems are made public it probably is not true, and vice versa, if something positive is made public about these same subjects, it too may not be true.
Nothing is as it seems.
I spoke a little to quickly about missiles. It is conceivable that a submarine lunched missiles, in some instances could be on the target before it was established what the target in fact would be.

First.... I love all things military related, including military history and more current info. I know, for example, the United States just started building a new submarine - just a few days ago. The book I am currently reading is "Paths of Armor" about the 5th armored division, and the book before that was "Life In The Third Reich" and the book before that was about the USS Seawolf. I know what our current abilities are, and no, we do not know the target of a missile moments after it's launched.
Second... I am done debating with fake nicks. If I do not know exactly who you are, I am putting you on ignore.
