And the second row of seats is Japan. Any nuclear attack on Korea will lead to massive death by radiation poisoning in Japan.
Japan is directly West of North Korea and the wind flows East/West.
And the third row of seats is the USA.
It is the next land mass and radiation poisoning will effect the US as well.
Don't be so sure the US would even respond with Nukes even if the NK's used them.
First off all, they have no delivery system that is reliable, and their Nukes would be low yield, so they end up being the dying charge of a wounded animal.
Why would the US use the Nukes if it would do as much damaged to the USA as it did to NK as in food, water and human health issues?
Why would the US use the Nukes when conventional weapons would do the job as well, without the radiation issues?
Now, you may not care about this point, but even if the NK's used Nukes, and the US retaliated by "Blowing them back into the Dark Ages", the US will become an international pariah.
If the NKs use Nukes, you can bet the USA and the rest of the world will respond with devastating force.
One of the reasons is so that the Iranians, the Taliban, and every other Terrorist out there knows that the penalty for using them on the US or its Allys is something that is so prohibitive in cost that no one will consider using them again.
