I'd be surprised if they had any nukes mated to missiles at this point, maybe one or two that may or or may not get off the launch pad, armed with untested in flight nukes that may or may not go off, if they make it past the US ABM's on naval vessels in the area and stationed in Alaska. The US response would however be massive I imagine.

I mean, if it keeps the Congress and leads to Trump's re-election/lifetime appointment, all those dead Koreans will be worth it.
