He lives and plays his games in a world bordered by the actual capabilities of his military on the one hand, and the restraint that the U.S. must observe because of his giant northern neighbor on the other hand.

He knows he can poke the American bear to a point and we won't really do anything, and unfortunately, because of China, he knows he can poke A LOT actually.

What I keep hoping will happen, someday, is that the South Koreans will get tired of his shit, and go clean his fucking clock for him.

First, isn't there a big difference between detonating a Nuke underground and building one that both fits and functions on a missile?

Second, How likely is it that they could target the carrier with sufficient accuracy and detonate the nuke at the correct time? Have they demonstrated that with missiles that have sufficient range and capacity to reach the strike group carrying a nuke?

I'm assuming that they have Scuds or the equivalent - would those be able to do the job?

I'm thinking that a sub on a suicide mission would be their best shot. It seems unlikely to me that the Norks could get a sub close enough to the strike group without being detected.

Bullshit, as always.

Their midget subs can present a legitimate threat in littoral environments (ROKS Cheonan), but that's not exactly the AO for a carrier.  I suspect the sonar guys on her escorts will be on their toes, though.

Here in the states, if you shoot someone in the face who is doing nothing but talking shit, you get charged with murder.

If the government does it, they're looking out for national interests or whatever the party line is nowadays.

Trickery could prevail.  
Not sure how many of those clown subs fatboy has.
If I was fatboy and thought to try it, it would be that way.
Put every thing that floats in the water.  
The subs I'd hide under fishing boats or a few of them.
If they will sail.  Probably won't.  
They would only get one shot before we sunk every contact in the area.  
Then fatboy gets his shit pushed the fuck in.  
Bigly.

For years we have had a strategy of appeasement. One of the Kims makes a threat to do "XYZ" then we give them some cash and food so they quietly go away for another year.

“Our revolutionary forces are combat-ready to sink a US nuclear powered aircraft carrier with a single strike,” the Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the North’s ruling Workers’ Party, said in a commentary. The paper likened the aircraft carrier to a “gross animal” and said a strike on it would be “an actual example to show our military’s force”. The commentary was carried on page three of the newspaper, after a two-page feature about leader Kim Jong Un inspecting a pig farm.

Midget subs can sit/crawl around submerged on battery, being pretty quiet while doing so.  They have limited operational range and endurance, but can be used in littoral environments and choke points to get a few "sneak attack" torpedoes or mines off.  Running their diesels would likely result in detection but that can be complicated by the presence of other fishing vessels etc. in the area, which would intentionally be there just for that reason.  Their small size also makes them harder to detect on active sonar in shallow water.

If you have enough of them out there, it's certainly possible to some damage to a naval force that is technologically and numerically superior.  It's like the guerilla warfare of the sea.

That's not to say that I think they're going to sink 7th Fleet or anything, just that they do pose a threat, in some circumstances, to an extent.
