I suspect there are several cruise missiles aimed at every possible nuke NK has. That would suggest they wouldn't get far. But like you said. Seoul ain't that far.

I don't think Trump would preemptively strike North Korea. That seems rather reckless, even for him. They've been telegraphing hints they might preemptively hit NK for the last week. It's almost as if they're trying to goad KJU into something. The real question is whether Kim Jong-Un is crazy enough to launch a nuke. Unlike his two predecessors, there is reason to believe that self-preservation is not a value that Kim Jong-Un prioritizes. So he may be looking to go down swinging. And unfortunately there is almost no way to prevent massive amounts of casualties given how close Seoul is to the DMZ and how urban and densely packed the area is. As for China, they have been steadily losing their patience with North Korea. If they did move thousands of troops to the North Korean border, it'll likely be for trying to keep out refugees rather than engaging against American forces. China already has a refugee problem, which the UN cannot acknowledge because of China's veto power. It would be great if we could goad China into taking care of the KJU regime. They likely like want NK as a buffer but not a war.
