If you can't shoot it, the nexy best strategy is to confine it until it dies of its disease, so it doesn't hurt anyone. NK is probably just posturing as they have in the past. They want something, so they do something silly to get attention. That's their M.O. Might provide an interesting live-fire test of our ABM systems, though. If their missile can hit Alaska, it can hit all of China, most of southeast Asia, and a good chunk of India.

If I were them, I wouldn't tell anyone I had the bomb and hope that no one ratted me out. No, because we can’t be everywhere at once, and we can’t possibly keep tabs on what everyone is doing.
