What I'd be more concerned about is the nukes they'd be launching from their submarines near the shores of the continental USA. I suppose if they have the same capability of the ICBMs tested from NK (which leads one to assume that's where they'd be launched from), any target in the USA would be well-within range.

Or they could just launch them in a general up direction and explode them. The EMP would essentially destroy the electrical grid and every electronic device in the country. No computers, no banking, no bitcoins, no working vehicles or transport of food to stores, no oil refining or gasoline production, etc.

Welcome to your new Little-House-on-the-Prairie rest of your life. How is your farming skills lately? You do own a big plot of land to grow crops, right? You do have enough food to live on until harvest season next fall, right?

So yeah, we'd technically "win" the war. But in the end, I doubt any side would really come out on top.
