A report published on Wednesday at 38 North found that over 2 million lives could be lost should North Korea attack Seoul and Tokyo with its nuclear arsenal.
The analysis comes amid continued threats from the US President and members of his administration that Washington would consider military action to prevent the North from conducting additional nuclear or ballistic missile tests.
Using a computer model for calculating the blast areas for North Korea’s nuclear arsenal, analysts ran a scenario assuming that Pyongyang would launch all 25 of the operational nuclear weapons believed to be in their possession. Depending on the reliability of the North’s missile systems, the total combined death toll for attacks on Seoul and Tokyo would fall anywhere between 400,000 and 2 million.
Analysis also concluded, based on series of assumptions, that the number of fatalities from a single reliable 250 kt warhead airburst over the centers of Seoul and Tokyo could in itself reach almost 1.5 million.
Should Pyongyang make the mistake of attacking both or just one of the two countries (Japan or Seoul), the consequence will be, said country will be off the map for good. It is therefore necessary that we all live and kearn peaceful co-existence and respect.
It has to happen first. I’m not so sure he is that stupid.
The world had and is suffering. Already many are dying of unnecessary wars, deseases, poverty and depvetion. Why are some countries beating drums of war. US and North Korea should please hold their breath. In particular the world is more concern of President Trump style of leadership it seems he is too excessive by the use of American military power. Since his assumption of office, the world is more tense than before. Let him please reconsider some of his actions and policies. The world is expecting America to lead it towards the peace and prosperity, not threat of Nukclear war. Let him not follow the footsteps of North Korean President, because the Leadership of that country it seems careless about any consequences of wa. Let him not think the leadership is worried, they are not. Let President Trump work towards bringing peace to the world. Millions of ordinary people of this world appreciate and respect US let him not jarpodise what previous US leaders built for the country in terms of love and democracy.
Why the US waited 16 years before facing seriously the nuclear threat of North Korea…why the Gov.of Georges Bush and Barak Obama did not face this potential threat early …and now Donald Trump have to face this huge pb. too lately?
at paano nman ang america SK japan mghintay lng bA ng bomba ng NK?tama un sabi ni thrump mgsucide talaga si kim dahil lahat ng bomba sa nkor nkatutok.
The US was busy destroying other countries he thought they were potential threat but the real threat has come now, america was blinded by the hatred of muslim countries and know he is paying the prize.
USA is afraid of North Korea… Let Trump hit dem hard if he is not afraid ????. Nothing will happen.. I repeat.. Nothing will happen… North Korea can never fire any nuclear weapons towards Japan. Japan will destroy North Korea immediately. People of free World ???? should move on… Nothing will happen.

America used all that 16 years experimenting with Legalized Sodomy (Homosexuality)
You are dreaming daylight, do you think it is so easy like that? if US could that, he won’t hesitate, he would have done long ago, fortunately he knows the consequence that can result from that Issue, that why US is not willing to do so.
Sometimes analysis and or calculations like these can give bad signals to countries involve in these agenda..you media must be careful on releasing calculations based on your analysis coz this is an added provocations for concerned parties..
And if this happened nobody wins except for people whose lives were miserable who wanted to end their life in a nonsense way.
Gambo Jika Äw
Gambo Jika ,that is a good piece ,Donald Trump is Not educated just Luke the Nkorean president.
Question mark is that, whereis the rational scale of united nation world community, security council, to call for general assembly, invite Kim Jong un to beef up preemptive measures to hold under control the imminent catostraphic.

The first to fire a nuke is mad man, i think neither of them is mad for that to happen
