Could North Korea actually get a missile or nuclear warhead to the States?

PLEASE, no guesses. Link if you can to a site that has the facts ( and NO FOX NEWS B.S.!!). I went to NASA sites and could not find anything. Thanks in advance.

    No way in hell.

    Our interceptor missiles will take it out over that 3rd world country N.K.

    First off, in order for NK to deliver a nuclear payload to the United states they would need a nuclear warhead small enough to be fitted to an intercontinental ballistic missile, which they dont.... yes they have the nuclear capability and the missile capability, however they dont quite have the technology needed to merge these two and create a functional ICBM. Now they are within years of reaching this milestone, however there are also other factors including the fact that the more threats they make, the more they are cut off from trade.

    Sad to say I have never seen so many chicken s hit kiddies posting on here about "North Korea"

    Do you have so little faith in your countries own abilities to defend itself from an attack?

    For decades the U.S.A. was easily able to square off against the Soviet Union, so do you think a country like North Korea, with a 100% active propaganda machine churning out garbage is to believed, a country where mass starvation is commonplace and a teenage dick tator who has never had sex with a real woman yet is to be feared?

    Come on kiddies get a grip.

    Assuming a North Korean warhead incredibly hit the U.S. it would in all probability be someplace on the West coast, la or San Fransisco consistent with probability. After something like that the U.S. might in all probability fireplace a nuke back at them, in all probability countless, which might result interior the entire devastation of the entire united states of america. If nukes are off the table we are a minimum of invading them, and our temperament is going to be nearer to the united statesS.R. invading Germany than to our time-honored occupation stuff, the North Koreans would be fortunate to have one million human beings left on the tip of the two scenario. China won't stick its neck out for North Korea if something like this occurs, surely we would in all probability see the USA grow to be truly paranoid and aggressive interior the aftermath of a nuclear attack. the international is going to be a frightening place after that, the yankee human beings won't tolerate petty wars like Iraq or Afghanistan, they are going to be out for bood.

    Why on earth are you referring to NASA !?!?

    To answer your question: No ! and that's not because the USA are "monitoring the sky" as people have quoted here. Their nuclear devices are just not miniaturised enough to be embedded in one of their missile warheads..

    it is vvveeeerrrryyyyy unlikely because the army always has an eye in the sky and if the see something from north Korea, the will send jets as fast as possible to stop them

    Just why would you think that FOX News was wrong...

    You keep believing the BS your Government is telling

    you, you will wake up a Slave...

    NEVER EVER...Underestimate your Enemy...

    Most Americans are so arrogant about our Enemies

    that we end up getting our Butts Kicked...

    Any Country at any time can Place a NUKE in the USA...

    If it happens it will because our Government ALLOWED it to Happen...

    They don't need to Hit the Continental US to hit America...

    They are within Easy reach...Hawaii...and of course Guam

    where the Socialist have stuck all of our eggs in one Basket...

    Take out GUAM and it takes out 50% of all Troops(Thousands)/Planes/

    Armaments/Nukes in the Pacific Region...same with Diego Garcia...

    AF/Navy/Marines/Army...POOF all gone...

    No.

    Even if they could, they would get 5,000 back so they won't.
