Well, boom goes London,
And boom Paris.
More room for you
And more room for me.
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town.
Oh, how peaceful it'll be;
We'll set everybody free;
You'll have Japanese kimonos, baby,
There'll be Italian shoes for me.
They all hate us anyhow,
So let's drop the big one now.
Let's drop the big one now.

Randy was on to something.
I like his seventies stuff but he hasn't done anything new, interesting or even relevant since 1979 or so. Essentially what will be, will be, with NK. Trump has tried to trigger the fat litte fella and to put him into a existential crisis....and he's a God to his people and their array of cruel and unusual weaponry. So, anything could happen in the next few days or weeks....and don't forget China will be drawn in too...and so Russia and the full on forth turning....

Tampa is the closest military target to us, and it will most definitely get hit with a big one because there's McDill Air Force Base and the main headquarters of CENTCOM (Unified Combatant Central Command). But it's going to take a Tsar Bomba size to get to us. But, given that they've got plenty of weapons they'll probably just saturate the entire west coast of Florida.

I'm only a few miles from GCHQ (General Command Headquarters). So if the shockwave doesn't kill me the fireball will.

North Korea says US causing 'uncontrollable phase of a nuclear war' with military drills
North Korea has threatened to unleash a "merciless strike" on American territory ahead of joint US-South Korea military drills.
Pyongyang warned the exercises, due to begin on Monday, were "reckless behaviour driving the situation into the uncontrollable phase of a nuclear war".
Thousands of troops will take part in 10 days of military simulations, designed to prepare American and South Korean forces for conflict with North Korea, amid heightened tensions in the peninsula.
