Seriously, what the hell is North Korea thinking, anything they do that hits Japan is going to cause problems not with just the USA.
They're smoking the same stuff Iran is smoking. Any nuclear attack by them against any of our allies would mean huge (possibly total) destruction of them. I still think this is politicians grandstanding in front of their people; the leaders of those countries are smart enough to know what awaits them if they use nuclear weapons. Unfortunately the citizens of those countries live in a state completely sheltered from news and conversations in the world around them, and they know no better than what their leaders tell them (maybe Iranians know a little more, but not a lot)...thereby making grandstanding very appealing to the leaders. They're just trying to show off and secure their power in their own countries and regions.
