Their nuclear capacity is basically air dropped.
They don't have any missiles capable so they're not actually a nuclear threat as the planes that carry them will be shot down.

Stupid question
and I apologise in advance for asking it. Surely if we shoot down a plane carrying a nuclear missile and it crashes, the explosion will be a bit... nuclear?

Unlikely
unless the bomb was armed before the plane went down, which is possible. Nuclear bombs are quite stable unless deliberately set off.

There was a really interesting programme on the radio a while back
where a guy was talking about how if you let off a nuclear bomb in Central Park what sort of mega tonnes would reach what distance.

The cast of Friends would be destroyed
and I, for one, reckon Jennifer Aniston is still worth a go

I'd still slip Courtney Cox one too.

I heard Jennifer Aniston recently bought a new flat just up the road from the Friends studio

Two things;
-That's actually in LA, isn't it. Twice as far. Carbon footprint's a nightmare.

-How the FUCK do you know that?

I read it in the Metro a couple of weeks ago
and then bizarrely it came on the radio news just as I typed that comment.

Nerp
there's a risk of the nuclear material escaping, but not a risk of the explosion being nuclear.
It's actually very difficult to make a bunch of plutonium/uranium blow up and requires a controlled implosion to make it all come together.

I thank you

They do have an enormous and properly organised army, though.

Got to get it here though haven't they
We can basically engage in little brother tactics - standing making faces at them as all the American air bases between us and them blow them out of the sky

Or they could just invade SK and force us into a ground war.

Only if we decide we actually give a fuck about South Korea
and I don't see they have anything to offer us, other than counterfeit DVDs down at the Leyton branch of ASDA.

South Korea is an amazing country, from what little I saw of it last year
We wouldn't have to bother, if NK did invade the Yanks would be there in a shot. They're closer and fucking raring to go.
