And even in that case, if their tiny nukes do destroy Seoul (remember Fat Man and Little Boy were tiny nukes by the standards we have now) North Korea's days will likely be numbered; even China will likely consider them a liability they can't afford to keep with.
People say "if they use nukes their days are numbered", as if they are truly loose cannons whose use of nukes would likely precede their days becoming numbered.
They are not. They are supremely, utterly ruthlessly, rational survivalists. They would only use nukes if their days would otherwise be numbered anyway.
If trump's bluster about fire and fury is actually believed rather than laughed at, if would increase the chance of their using their nukes on us, not reduce it.
