We'll be able to knock down most of the missiles but the artillery, that is going to lay waste to much of northern and central South Korea. There just isn't any getting over that. Unless, the artillery pieces are in disrepair and/or the shells are old and won't function. A possibility for some but not all of his arsenal.
This is why there needs to be a very good co-ordinated bombing run that knocks all missile sites, all the build up on the south and most of their access points at the same time. We should not give them the terms of when the first missile should be fired.

Investigator,
That sounds easy but in fact is very difficult to do. The missile site we could take out, although they are hardened which makes it more difficult. That is still doable. It's all the artillery North Korea possesses that is the problem. Until that is silenced NK can target Seoul and every city north of it. That's many millions of people under the gun. And those artillery pieces are dug into mountains, making it extremely difficult to knock them out.
NK is one of the toughest problems in the world. The nut has virtually fortified the country. He has a tremendous amount of artillery. Some of that arty can fire chem and bio shells. And I think he's nutty enough to think he can win. The best scenario would be one or a combination of his generals realize he's going to get them all killed and take him out. The worst is war, because then a lot on Koreans will die, both military and civilian.
If we do anything with the North it will be all out war and possibly trigger the next world war. I do not think there will be any easy solution to any of this. I think a lot of people are going to die on this planet for no real good reason. It will change the way of life for many people if this happens.
NK has not attacked yet, you would think they would do it now if they are serious because the allies are still building up. This could be because China is being hard on NK right now and NK is feeling the crunch. Perhaps they thought they would get backed by China but it did not play out like that for them.

With President Trump stating today that there cold be a major, major impact with North Korea soon means that we may see a war with them very soon. I am sure this is going to raise the tension on the Korean Peninsula by ten fold. It is not a good place to be right now I think.
I'm hoping that President [Trump] is pushing in the open and China is pushing in the shadows and this is something we coordinated with China when Xi was here. If this is the case it may force NK to actually start acting like a civilized country. I just don't think it'll work though because that country is led by a nut.
Hawaii threatened by North Korea now, U.S. Commander tells Congress:
The Pentagon needs to consider deploying new anti-ballistic missile systems and a defensive radar to Hawaii to protect against a growing threat from North Korea. Ref. Source 1z.
