I would hope we would not go nuclear short of a damaging hit, but that puts days between attack and major response. I would also hope as crazy as it sounds that China would roll troops on him if he looked to launch a nuke. It would be so damaging to them if NK absorbed a counterstrike.
This is why is have supported missile defense and conventional ballistic forces. Every President deserves to have a fast conventional option so as to leave the guy with the football seated on the chair undisturbed.
