"The window to stop North Korea from being able to attack the U.S. with a nuclear bomb is closing fast."

Needs an effective and accurate airborne delivery system. I'm thinking surface ship - containerised or surfaced submarine.

It's hard to know what is going on in the inner circle in terms of a potential palace coup.
