I think it's pretty clear he won't emulate an action he noted repeatedly in his campaign was a mistake.
I think's it's very clear he already has.

Because we seem to be taking for granted that a nation that can't even be arsed to feed their own people, even if it means a good-sized portion will be too undernourished to even be fit enough for military service, actually has comparable resources to the US long-distance-warfare-wise.
I'm not at all thinking that their resources are comparable to ours, and I'm unsure why you would draw such a conclusion based on what I wrote.
I'm speaking in terms of having, say, two or three warhead-sized nukes for each target I've mentioned: Pusan, Tokyo, Guam. They certainly have the missile technology to ship a couple downrange to each target posthaste. If they actually do have miniaturized warheads, then they no doubt can export those as well via rocket. Missiles are generally tested with dummy payloads simply because testing without the payload gives inaccurate feedback.
