Why can't we hack into the guidance system and make them return to the point of origin?
It was always a fantasy.What ever happened to the star wars programme?
There is a school of thought that this is just brinkmanship from NK and they are posturing to avoid regime change, i.e. making it clear that if attacked there will be a nuclear response. Thus separating themselves from countries such as Libya, Iraq etc that have been crushed by western powers. The goal allegedly being that they want sanctions lifting and to be a player on the global table. I've no idea how much truth/validity is in this view, but I would still be surprised if NK launched a nuclear first strike. I have a nasty feeling that if it does degenerate into a nuclear war it will be Trump that attacks first. I suspect being the sociopathic narcissist he is he'd actually rather like to go down in history with it on his CV.

I just can't see any option to avoid a surgical regime change action.
