If NK launches an ICBM at the US from a Chinese-made TEL - what are the consequences?

North Korea appeared to use China truck in its first claimed ICBM test

1. What would you suggest?

[jpak]

4. I would start by giving China fair warning that their would be consequences

yup

[still_one]

8. Consequences for what? That truck was sold to haul lumber. The article is trying to make it appear

as though the Chinese government want NK to do what they are doing. They do not.

About the only thing China could do is stop selling food and supplies to NK, but it remains a big question whether even that would be effective, but one thing for certain is that it would hurt the populous of NK more so than the government or military

What really needs to be done is that the United States should engage immediately in talks with NK, but trump is such a loose canon, that is highly unlikely

9. The Chinese are not stupid - they knew it was dual purpose

yup

2. It would make Dennis Rodman's next visit super-awkward

3. Glass beaches in the NK, for starters. nt

5. Pyongyang would cease to exist

very quickly.

[Not Ruth]

6. NATO would engage immediately

7. If NK was that stupid, at the minimum, there would be a full military assult against NK, and

Congress would declare war against NK.

Despite what the media and others are trying to promote, it is highly unlikely that NK would do an unprovoked ICBM attack on the U.S., not the least of which is that action would accomplish very little, and the consequences to NK would be disastrous
